new technology in junior and senior projects should be shifted to developing practical knowledge and skills.4. Certain successful methods in the existing curriculum should remain.Obviously, the main goal of any engineering program is to prepare engineering students for theirprofessional career in the global economy. By the time of the graduation these students shouldnot only know how to solve technical problems, but also be able to deal with problems beyondthe scope of technology.1A recent research discovered that students benefit from so-called practical knowledge in theirprofessional career.6 The research also found that obtaining practical knowledge from collegestudy is more beneficial to the professional career of students than
