The Jack and Mary Kay Downing Scholar program at Xavier University funds undergraduate research designed to pair undergraduate scholars with faculty for work on a scholarly project developed over the course of three semesters. This paper describes the current process in a scholar program designed to complete a literature investigation, and to develop, implement, and analyze a survey designed to measure (1) entry-level IS/IT skill expectations of knowledge/skill area requirements as described in the literature and (2) employers’ satisfaction with knowledge/skills possessed by recent hires.

Keywords: IS skill expectations, IS employers’ satisfaction, IS survey, undergraduate IT research
