Changes in the externalenvironment (e.g. reduced funding, increased costs, demands by industry for well-seasonedgraduates, and rapid advances in technology) coupled with the quest for educational relevance inundergraduate engineering, are forcing colleges of engineering in the Region (the Arab GulfStates) to “rethink” engineering education and to undertake constructive steps towards reformingthe current systems.

Some indicated that they have the type of job expected they expected to have,such as John, while others spoke more generally about a category of jobs, such as Kevin. “There’s basically three different disciplines when you get out of school for being a [discipline] engineer, and I wanted to be a [type] engineer that’s what I’ve done so far, so, this is, this is definitely where I want to be and I’m enjoying it.” (John, TPub). “Yes, when I was an undergraduate I didn’t have a totally specific idea of where I’d be in a few years but, I knew that I was interested in technology and in

Usually thetour hosts were also quizzed about what they expected from new hires and/or what importanttraits or skills it took for employees to succeed in their business.Student Evaluations of Facilities Visited:While we limited the class size to twenty students, seventeen students were enrolled in the initialclass during the spring of 2011. At the end of the semester the students were asked to evaluateeach of the site visits from 0-5 based upon the importance of the visit (with 5 most important).
