To provide a good curriculum for producing valuable graduated students as technician teachers, the specific skills in engineering, professional teaching ethics, and teacher certification were integrated as the requirements of stakeholders. This study focused on the gap analysis for the competency of undergraduate students in the 4th year of the Bachelor of Industrial Education program in Electrical Engineering at KMUTT. The questionnaire for self-evaluation with 4-level rubric scales was created to determine the qualitative and quantitative data in 3 domains for a sample group of 39 students from 2 academic years. For the first domain, teaching management skills with 8 indicators showed that the average scores were at a moderate level (mean = 3.13), with weaknesses in competencies of lecturing/explaining, learning outcome assessment and problem-solving which needs to be urgently improved. The second domain related to specific electrical engineering skills with 19 indicators showed that the current competencies were below the expected levels in some skills (mean = 2.95) but the students were very good in problem identification. The third domain was related to some important characteristics and professional ethics for teachers with 15 indicators. The students' current competencies were at a good level (mean = 3.46), with strength points in honesty and professional responsibility but the areas for improvement were leadership and emotion control. Therefore, the gap of student competencies determined with radar charts were effectively applied for curriculum improvement by applying outcome-based education module (OBEM) and create short courses to match the competencies you want to enhance in various skills.
