, prosperous, and experiencing tremendous economic growth. Akili2 discusses the earlyentrants into engineering education in the region and the need to rejuvenate these olderprograms. Early engineering programs range from start dates of the 1960’s in Saudi Arabia tothe mid 1980’s in Oman. The need for quality programs is especially relevant to the aviation andaerospace industries. To meet this need, a new locally owned and based new university hasbegun operations in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This new 4-year baccalaureate and master’sdegree institution emphasizes aviation and aerospace in its degree offerings. This institution waslicensed and accredited by the UAE Commission for Academic Accreditation, and beganoperations in 2007. Programs being

The final examis comprehensive and covered all the year’s material. It accounted for 100 % of the students ‘overall course grade.A new curriculum introduced in the late 1970’s was patterned after US universities. It was basedon a semester academic year system. Courses are offered every semester. Grades are based oncontinuous cumulative evaluation using homework, quizzes, midterm exams and a final exam.The first set of students were admitted in 1975 to use the second BSEEE curriculum which had

whereby an academic member of staff from another HEI is appointed toprovide oversight of the operation of courses, normally from a subject point of view. This processoperates universally in the UK and with the SHU/KBU scheme the external examiner appointed tothe SHU course(s) will also support the KBU course(s).DiscussionTwo examples of international inter-institutional partnerships have been described here and anumber of observations can be made about them. Firstly, in both cases the fundamental drivingforce behind the developments has been student demand, whilst the institutional pull has beenmore complex. In the case of the SHU-TARC partnership the decade long gestation of theprogramme is evidence of both groups of engineering academics
highlyrecommended that Afghanistan gains an insight from examples of good practice in STEMeducation adopted by adjacent countries which have experienced somewhat similar issues.It is a huge task for the people of Afghanistan to overcome the catastrophic destruction oftheir institutions and educational infrastructure and to address the above issues. This taskcannot be accomplished without significant contribution from the international community. Inorder for the Afghan population to take a role in their country’s present reconstructionprojects, the Afghan government needs to be proactive in attracting international assistance inbuilding its human capacity.References[1].

Finally, the students gave qualitative feedback on the way in which the EWB Challenge was taughtat Colorado State University, picking up on some of the same failings in implementation due to the pilotnature of the program but also providing ideas for improvement for future course offerings. A graphicrepresentation of their feedback shown in Figure 8 below, illustrates the feedback in collated form, withthe most repeated words being the largest. It is interesting to see that design, culture, ideas, group,problem(s), learning and working were common themes rather than the technical aspects of the designproblems themselves, reflecting on the engagement with professional skills (ASEE, 2013) the instructorshoped would be focused on

In fields as diverseas education, infrastructure, and information technology, development funds are flowing toengineering expertise that can work with players in developing countries not only to supportconcrete projects, but ultimately to build the local capacity of policy-makers, educators, and theprivate sector, without which the sustainability of any progress is compromised. It is this lattereffort – the process of capacity building and the role of the engineering education sector – that isparticularly exciting for the American engineering education community.This paper will outline the confluence of economic drivers and development challenges thattoday foster

and suitable vehicles for developing countries.The goal is to assemble these vehicles in small factories in developing countries. IAT hasdonated several vehicles to Honduras and in Africa.2005-2006 BUV challenge given by IAT was to design a 3-wheel vehicle based on the rear-end(i.e. the bed, axle, suspension, wheels, frame, etc) of a small pick-up truck (Chevy S-10, FordRanger, etc) cut near the cab/bed interface. It was also required to design a rear ambulance unitto be attached to the rolling chassis. In addition to cost, design emphasis was on drive train, easeof assembly, durability, serviceability, and the ambulance unit itself.
