Is Flat, refers "to a twenty-first centuryworld that will be very different from the one in which we were educated. To survive in a new,globally competitive world, today's children will need creativity, problem-solving abilities, apassion for learning, a dedicated work ethic and lifelong learning opportunities. Students candevelop these abilities through instruction based on Best Practice teaching strategies." [2].Best practice in graduate instruction focuses on dependable collaborations between graduateunderstudies and workforce, underpinned by staff [3]. Best practices are not always the bestdepending on timing and locations. According to DiBella (2001), "a practice that is valued in onesetting will be valued differently in another setting

engineeringeducation is strong on imparting some kinds of knowledge, it is not very effective in preparingstudents to integrate their knowledge, skills, and identity as developing professions … In theengineering science and technology courses, the tradition of putting theory before practice andthe effort to cover technical knowledge comprehensively allow little opportunity for students tohave the kind of deep learning experiences that mirror professional practice and problemsolving.”Development of Systems Thinking SkillsSince “systems thinking” skills are an integral part of Systems Engineering attributes, Davidzand Nightingale [21] provide research data concerning the levels of significance of experientiallearning.Integration of Systems Engineering Courses

, softskills are commonly associated with social or humanities courses, graduates from engineeringprograms requires to develop these skills. According to previous studies, soft skills could be thekey to increase the employability in higher education graduates. The apparent graduates’weaknesses are in communication skills, team work and the attitude on how to carry themselvesin the community (citizenship) among others23. Moreover, higher education programs areexpected to prepare students for future professional work experience. In contrast students areexpected to learn how to become exceptional professionals ready to handle any kind of challengeassociated with his or her job instantaneously after graduation. Many times these twoexpectations are not

instrument to help studentsto learn how to work collaboratively. ABET Criterion 3Ad or 3Be intends for students toexperience the nature of a future work environment. It enables the faculty member to assume therole of “coordinator,” who schedules meetings and insures that all team members know whatthey are supposed to do and the allowable time limitations.This outcome has not always been the case in our experience. Team members would oftencomplain about the assigned tasks of other members, incomplete material received, andineffective communication among team members. For this reason, we felt the need for increasedemphasis on teamwork and to assess team interactions so as to insure quality of the final productor report.Another concern was to establish
