to teach in a particular course structure andresources for laboratories, are examples of factors which demand fewer staff-student contacthours and less practical (hands-on) learning experiences. On the other hand: (a) the continuousexpansion of the content to be covered (with a soaring number of new topics and techniquesbrought into the curriculum); (b) the flexibility of the curriculum and options to be madeavailable to students and (c) also a more student-centered approach being recommended in highereducation requiring more staff time and more physical resources to run courses. Coursedevelopers are consequently responsible for designing a structure which takes account of bothsets of pressures. They are also urged to change the pedagogical

In particular, a reoccurringtopic of discussion in engineering education revolves around the need to increase retention andimprove recruitment of students, especially women, minorities, and first generations, intoengineering related fields. While the difficulty of the engineering curriculum and poor teachinghave been recognized as factors influencing attrition, other issues like the lack of belonging inengineering have a great impact on the decision to leave.19-22 In other

Key lessons learned in delivering thenew curriculum and key lessons learned in extending the population participating in the informalengineering outreach program will be incorporated in successive offerings of the program.

All of which are critical skills in engineering [6], [9]. However, with limitedprerequisite practice in their courses, students have not developed the skills necessary tosuccessfully produce and optimize an aircraft prototype given a mission profile.

term, students were expected to complete an engineeringdesign project during an intense six-week period, and then repeat the process a second time for adifferent project. Students were assigned to some 200 teams (3 – 5 students each) and dividedinto 16 tutorials, supervised by 87 teaching assistants (12 graduate, 75 undergraduate) and 7faculty consultants. Students were guided in structured tutorials, group discussions, andcomputer-mediated interactions. To ensure students made steady progress, there were threedeliverables: a preliminary report describing background research, ethical considerations, anddesign alternatives; a final report that included the team’s proposed technical design, costanalysis, feasibility, and impact on the community

At KUSTAR, like elsewhere in the UAE and in the broader MENAand Persian Gulf region, the startup package is not a common practice, and different universitieshave adopted different models of supporting their research faculty, but, even when some supportexists, it is approximately an order of magnitude below the North American investment in juniorfaculty.

Internships andcooperative opportunities (although the latter are not discussed in this paper) have long beenlauded as a meaningful practice for increasing student retention in computer science andengineering [14]. In fact, some research has found that a single internship experience cansometimes mean the difference between taking a job after graduation or choosing another field[15]. Generally, these experiences are representative of what a student might be doing in thefield as they learn the various tools, practices, and workflows of industry. Beyond hands-onpractice in the field, in a 2013 study, Samuelson and
can be applied to solving real-world problems. The importance ofthese experiences then stimulates the following questions: Why wait until the senior year to implementengineering design? Why not introduce design earlier in engineering curricula? These questions led to a major research thrust area within SUCCEED, an NSF-sponsored engineeringeducation coalition composed of eight state-supported universities in the Southeastern United States.SUCCEED’s mission is to develop “Curriculum 21,” a comprehensive redesign of undergraduate engineeringeducation for the 21st century. As one of four topical centers within SUCCEED, the Center for EngineeringPractice has a mission to “support engineering research and program activity that focuses on
