The research adopted a descriptive analytical method using the method of Currere. The results of the research include a diagnose of a number of gaps which were based on reviewing the vocabulary of the course according to the need for it or its compatibility with the academic description of the graduate engineer or the academic outcome. Furthermore, the research determines some conclusions that showed the shortcomings of the academic curriculum and the reality of the practice, as well as the research has recommended with a set of recommendations that maximize the compatibility between the outcomes of the academic program and the requirements of the labor market.
