As the literature shows these skill sets are well suitedfor project-based curriculums. Students benefit from these problem-solving traits and ourgraduates are in demand in the local area manufacturing sector.As stated, this capstone requires research and knowledge in areas well outside the normal coursecurriculum for an engineering student. In doing this the students are forced toresearch/investigate best practices and design a drone for the purpose of agriculture research.During the course of study, opportunities to use drones for other purposes also

Since that time, many authors and practitioners haveechoed his call for tying resource allocation more directly both to institutional and programmaticneeds, and to performance 7-11.

. Furthermore, the increasing infrastructure deficit in Brazil inhibits innovations inthe traditional curriculum centered around a technical framework. In Brazilian scenario there have been few definitions of the goals of engineering education on a nationalbasis. However, the top engineering colleges try to graduate a “conceptual engineer,” with a stronger emphasison planning and design activities (Bringhenti[’] ). Besides the curricular issues, there is clear evidence of the needto develop some skills and attitudes in engineering students. Some recent curricular reform processes (Barbosa [g]and Lima ) suggested that graduates should be versatile, able to comunnicate with society, capable of self-discovery and self-expression, able to

contributing to this failure is the tremendous inertia of the educationalsystems of the Region. (2, 3)The paper sheds light on the seemingly complex issues that have curtailed proper “connectivity”between academia and industry in the Arab Gulf States, and argues for the urgent need to worktogether towards developing mutually beneficial and long-lasting relations, at the grass rootlevel, so that the interests of people on both sides (students, graduates, faculty members,industrial staff, industry managers, research proponents, etc) will be properly served. Perhaps thegreatest achievement in such an endeavor is to improve the “relevancy” of engineeringeducation, by bringing the college closer to the “realities” on the ground. There is a tremendousneed

While acomponent of this result can be attributed to the student’s greater familiarity with the content inthe Heat Exchange Laboratory, it is also believed that the virtual laboratory experience givesthem a perspective that makes the physical laboratories appear less ill-structured.
