Engineering and technical progress is transforming the automotive industry rapidly. Conformance of professional competencies of college graduates to the requirements of the regional industry is seen as the main competitive advantage at the regional labor market. Both the business and engineering academic communities recognize the importance and stand ready for continual actualization of educational objectives. An important (from both theoretical and practical standpoints) question is the form of presentation of training results declared by a higher education institution for the purpose of assessing its relevance by the business community. Using the CDIO Syllabus architecture as the basis of a structured system for polling representatives of the industry and the academic community of the region, i.e. the two main stakeholders, certain information was obtained for updating educational objectives of automotive engineering undergraduate programs. The study conducted made it possible to distinguish and detail value and target-based opinions of respondents, as well as to evaluate, in absolute and relative terms, the level of relevancy of a graduate’s competencies declared by a college.
