Al-Thani c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 Inspiring Interest in STEM Education Among Qatar’s YouthAbstractCountries in the Middle East and North Africa have been working to promote STEM disciplinesand move rapidly toward post-hydrocarbon economies with the help of a highly skilled technicalworkforce. The State of Qatar has invested considerably in the education of its next generation asit seeks to reduce its reliance on oil and gas. This paper examines whether Qatari students’attitudes toward STEM disciplines and careers in engineering can be influenced through theexperience of a

Entrepreneurship skills aredeveloped in the course of immersion in real problems of the business. Successfulbusinessmen as mentors will lead each of the students to the final goal, which is opening oftheir own business. Due to the fact that the idea of becoming a businessman is gaining more attractionamong may students, we ran a research for the purpose of identifying of motives affecting thestudents’ choice of the entrepreneurship career, as well as for using the results of the researchfor a further shaping of business-like thinking in the society and for support of theentrepreneurship in general.

At present we have developed a brochure (seeFigure 1 below) and attend regional graduate fairs. In the future we will spread our fairattendance to the coasts and advertise through nationwide Korean-American societies. Theformer strategy will allow us to reach students who want to make a career with companiesoperating in Korea and the USA; the latter strategy will allow us to reach the large Korean-American community many of whom want to give their sons and daughters an ‘experience ofKorea’ as part of their education.

Such challenges would likely be deployed on a regional basis, and beoffered more frequently than the twice per year global online game. In addition, the EAC’s emphasis ontransdisciplinary integration makes it a potential platform for universities to give accepted engineeringstudents (e.g. students between secondary & university education) a fun overview of engineering’s role inshaping civilization, to help students envision career “missions”. Additionally, future EACs may giveeducators the option to customize the game according to degree program learning objectives, and seamlessintegration with learning management systems (LMS) such as Blackboard, to augment courses with

– Global Practices1. IntroductionCompetency Based Education (CBE), which focus on flexibility, mastery of abilities and the roleof the professor as a coach, is fast expanding worldwide. This is the result of an approach thatresponds to current global needs. Universities are aware of the changes and challenges ahead,and are committed to developing “global citizens” 1. One dimension they are working on, is theinternationalization of their students.The promotion of scientific and technological careers is on the agenda of international agenciesand countries. It is expected that the demand of Science, Technology, Engineering andMathematics (STEM) professionals will increase rapidly in the next 10 years. Also, thecompetencies they must have are going to

For Group-B, Weak Rule and Act utilitarianism allowed the rich andpowerful to get away with violations. But it was the cost-benefit ratio approach to ethics thatraised the most hackles. As engineers, students from both groups appreciated the logical needand scientific basis for cost-benefit ratio as a decision-maker for the rightness of an action. Butproblems arose on which population and what impacts to consider for the costs and benefits. The Government
