This is reflected in the creationand adoption of ABET Engineering Criteria 2000 which included six professional skillsto prepare engineers who were more aware of how their profession, products and servicesare embedded in the larger global, socio-economic and political context. The question ofhow to measure and evaluate preparedness of engineering students to meet theserequirements remains an open question.This

Program expects students to study a year at a foreign institute9. TheUniversity of Rhode Island along with Technische Universitat Braunschweig has a dual degreeprogram where engineering students receive an engineering degree as well as a foreign languagedegree10. The program typically takes five years to complete. Virginia Tech engineeringstudents can receive a dual degree from either Technische Universitat Darmstadt or the RoyalInstitute of Technology (Stockholm, Sweden)1. Students spend their senior year at the foreignfacility, then earning them a degree from this site as well as Virginia Tech.Still another consideration is that international experience does not have to be limited toacademics. Students can obtain work experience through foreign
text books, manuals and the like.Addressing the above issues are discussed in more detail in later sections of this paper.3. The existing curriculum and the rationale for changeOne of the major issues to be addressed is to update the curriculum at the department of Page 14.885.3EE, which has not been updated for decades. Many new technologies and modernteaching methods and paradigms have been developed during the last three decadesacross the world. Therefore, there is an urgent need to update the curricula of all subjects,especially science and engineering at KPU.The list of the subjects in the existing curriculum (without any modification) is

Students also studyhistoric innovations and modern technology and how different cultures shape how engineering ispracticed. By giving students a taste of an international experience and increasing their comfortlevel with global travel, the program intends to promote additional, more extended internationalacademic experiences such as international internships, study abroad programs, or other faculty-led programs.

engineering. Unlike the other disciplines, it is both an art and science that could betraced back to the early civilization (4000 to 2000 BC) in Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.And it is a science that makes man and nature live in harmony. It has moved through anumber of technological interfaces to reach its current stage. To maintain its integrity, it isimperative that the curricula be regularly revised to meet the ever-demanding economical,social and environmental needs of the society.In most universities, civil engineering under graduate program is four years.

benefits to the participating scholarship recipientsand to the community served.Introduction As a result of the overall decrease in enrollment in engineering and the economicexpansion that has resulted from technological advancements, the U.S. is experiencing a shortageof trained mathematicians, computer scientists and engineers, a problem that has persisted formore than a decade. In 1998, the U.S. government responded by increasing the annual number oftemporary, professional-worker visas from 65,000 to 115,000 for a three year period in theAmerican Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act of 19981. The rational behind thisAct was to recruit foreign talent in areas of national need. The number of professional-workervisas was increased
and of immediate value to the industry. Engineering education is the process of training engineers for the purposes of initiating, facilitating, and implementing technological development in society. Preparing students who are very knowledgeable of the technical fundamentals as well as the professional skills of engineering is considered the main objective of engineering education (p. 2).”2.3 Other Post-Conflict and Developing Countries ExperienceUNESCO (1998) describes that without a sufficient number of higher education and researchinstitutions that can provide “a critical mass of skilled and educated people, no country canensure genuine endogenous and sustainable development and, in particular, developing
