Abstract: Educational tours, acknowledged as essential supplements to traditional classroom learning, provided students with direct, invaluable experiences relevant to their academic pursuits. The primary focus of the study was to assess the impact of industry educational tours on the demographic characteristics, particularly age and gender, of computer engineering students who had participated in the educational tour, as well as to examine the level of satisfaction among computer engineering students with the provisions of food, transportation, hotel accommodation, and knowledge acquisition during the educational tour, and the significant relationship between demographic characteristics of computer engineering students and their knowledge acquisition. Descriptive statistics were applied to summarize the demographic information and satisfaction levels, providing a clear overview of the participants’ backgrounds and their experiences. To delve deeper, inferential statistical methods, including correlation and regression analysis, were used to explore and determine the relationships between demographic characteristics, logistical factors, and knowledge acquisition. The majority of participants were young, predominantly around 22 years old, with a higher representation of males. Notably, satisfaction with food and hotel accommodations emerged as pivotal factors influencing knowledge acquisition, while transportation satisfaction showed a lesser impact. These findings underscored the critical importance of ensuring top-notch logistical arrangements, including food and accommodations, to optimize the educational outcomes of such tours. Future investigations could incorporate an evaluation of the factors driving students’ inclination towards engaging in educational tours, aiming to discern the underlying motivations that influenced their decision to participate. Additionally, it would be valuable to identify and analyze the challenges and obstacles confronted by students both prior to and during their involvement in such tours, thereby offering a comprehensive examination of the various aspects impacting students’ experiences throughout the tour duration.
