Having an open mind about working overseas, learning differentlanguages, cultures, mannerisms, and ways of life really.” This same tour emphasized that"teamwork and open-mindedness are important," which helped students recognize thatinterpersonal skills are essential for success in the modern workforce. Although those outcomesare emphasized in on-campus coursework, the ideas tend not to resonate with students until amanager in the workforce identified the importance. Students also took on interview advice fortheir future careers from these visits, such as the following about finding a company with theright fit: “Aside from
proper planning and support by the administration.Therefore, the traditional mode of lecture where the information passes from the notes of theinstructor to the notes of the students - without passing through the mind of either one -continues as “the norm”.The purpose of this paper is to renew the call for deployment of better and more effectiveinstructional strategies in the classrooms of the Arab Gulf States, stressing on cooperativelearning practices as a viable alternative to the traditional (low-interaction lecture-based)environment that has gripped the engineering education of Region’s institution for decades.The paper sheds light on: theoretical roots, research support, current practices, andsuggestions for redesigning classes-if need be
