include not only problem solvingabilities, mastery of technical skills and the ability to produce innovative technologies, but alsoto have interdisciplinary skills such as, but not limited to, project management, communication,collaboration and life-long learning5. However, traditional lecture-based learning aids almostexclusively in the development of the technical skills. As a consequence, trends in engineeringeducation have surfaced recently that aim at incorporating design and other engineering practiceskills such as teamwork and project management under the supervision of the ABET engineeringcriteria 20006. Based on these trends, project-based learning has been widely adopted as acomplement to traditional lecture-based courses and enhance

In the conception of the new engineering programs, project-based learningwas identified as a key component of the curriculum, and consequently the majority of courses inthe department have a weekly lab component. While the labs provide an opportunity for hands-onlearning, problem solving at all levels is primarily practiced through weekly homework problems,in introductory courses up through senior-level courses on more advanced topics.This case study

This allows implementing other technologies, such as laser engraving and coordinatemeasuring (CMM), on the same machine. However, research showed that in order to have laserengraving capability, an exhaust system and a casing were needed to get rid of potentially toxicfumes emitted from the laser and burning material, and to enclose the working area, respectively.CMM capabilities were also halted due to the high cost of a single touching probe.Design Procedure Basic engineering design process was followed, implying that a design

performance is undoubtedly the most important lever that educational leaders /administrators can use for their organizations to succeed. Its (faculty performance) criticality hasincreased in the 21st century in view of the higher level demands from fresh engineers. Facultymembers are expected to learn and use a variety of technology-based methods and research-based instruction strategies for content delivery, learner support, and assessment. They also needto collaborate with their peers locally and globally. Further, they have to comply withdocumentation and reporting requirements. Organizing various interventions to improve this typeof multi-dimensional performance is an easy task and almost no administrator ignores that.However, that may not
