specialize through their choice of technical electives in Year 2, earlier intheir studies as compared to the programs in the US with which the author is most familiar. Therequired hands-on experience in Years 1-3 is gained through companion laboratory courses; thecompanion lab course is typically taught by a different instructor than the faculty member who Page 26.153.4is teaching the lecture course. In addition, projects may be assigned in lecture courses that donot have a companion lab course. In Year 4, students are required to enroll in a capstone designcourse, which is an individual rather than a team project. The laboratory courses and

classroom-based pedagogies of engagement, and cooperativelearning strategies in particular. The paper is a follow up to previous work by the author, onviable strategies to improve the classroom environment of engineering colleges in the Region. Atthe start, the paper provides an overview of relevant benchmarks of engineering education in theRegion. Then, relates author’s preliminary findings on teaching/learning practices in engineeringcolleges of the Region, sheds light on the pros and cons of the lecture format, and examines theliterature on meanings and substance of different active learning protocols focusing oncooperative engagement strategies. It also identifies common barriers to reformation, and arguesthat any meaningful change in Region’s

From 2000 – 2009 she served as the scientific co-director of the California NanoSystems Institute, a joint initiative at UCSB and the University of California, Los Angeles. Prior to that, Dr. Hu worked at AT& T Bell Laboratories, after receiving a Ph.D. in Physics from Columbia University. Her research has matched nanofabrication techniques with the integration of materials that allow the for- mation of structures and devices that demonstrate exceptional electronic and photonic behavior, allowing efficient, controlled and often coherent output of devices. She has participated in and directed a large set of

background work, notjust in terms of literature analysis, but to understand the field requirement, culture practices, andcustoms of the region in which they will be working. These will not only help in getting workdone smoothly but establish long term relationships that build sustainability into the researchenterprise.II) Field research as a part of global researchField research is a qualitative method of data collection geared towards understanding,observing, and interacting with people in their natural settings2. Some of the most valuableinformation in the world cannot be found in libraries, papers or laboratories, but theseinformation is crucial and is available in the real place. Real place is a place where the action orwork is being done. There
