environment.Cooperative learning researchers and practitioners have shown that positive peer relationsare essential to success in college. The positive interpersonal relationships promoted throughcooperative learning are regarded by most as crucial to today’s learning communities. Theyincrease the quality of social adjustment to college life, reduce uncertainties about attendingcollege, and increase integration into college life. Isolation and alienation, on the other hand,often lead to failure. Two major reasons for dropping out of college are: failure to establish asocial network of classmates and failure to become academically involved in classes. (29, 30)Cooperation is more than being physically near other students. It is actually a state of mind.A

graduate students. If we areto preach teamwork to our students, we had better train young faculty in teamwork,and leadership skills necessary for success. Although we would continue to witnessfaculty who can research and publish on their own; but, at the very least the lonewolves will have to learn to travel in more collaborative packs. Having more trainedfaculty in team-based, collaborative research will bolster the pool of potential groupleaders, department heads, and future administrators, when the need arises.Institutional RoleColleges of engineering would excel at teaching and learning when the majority oftheir faculty develop and achieve a reasonable level of pedagogical knowledge, and atthe same time, are able to enrich the learning process

This study contributesto the body of knowledge on how to and what prepares engineering students to be ready for theglobal job market and society they will face once they graduate by understanding how studentscome to appreciate cultural differences to interact effectively with different others in the contextof a global engineering course. This research supports the lifelong learning concept and ways todevelop the five competencies rated most important by the industry, which includes appreciatingand respecting cultural differences, collaborating and working on a multicultural team, using

collaborative or team work. Students rarely challenge the integrity ofinstruction by the instructors leading to the lack of interactive relations vital to creativity andinnovation. The curriculum is highly structured and there is little room to take liberal arts orinterdisciplinary courses to broaden their education. Not enough emphasis is placed onprofessional competencies which are important for today’s engineers competing in a globalmarket. Accreditation as a relatively new phenomenon in the developing countries face thechallenge of ensuring quality based on standards while also facilitating innovations in education.There is a lack of resources for upgrading laboratories, shortage of trained teachers to teacheffectively and make the course

Thisdevelopment takes place through involvement in a wide range of economic development projectsby utilizing intellectual property development and creating partnerships with industry, which alsocreates opportunities for research and students training.

Thissuggests that by participating in the bootcamp and working together with cross-cultural teammembers in assigned projects, some students recognized that success of the projects depends notonly on the technical skills but also on how well they communicate their ideas to othercolleagues and how cooperative they are in accepting other opinions as well.Learning and ExpectationsFigure 6 shows that among the expectations that were ‘extremely important’ for

Type of Universities and Degree ProgramsThe authors work in universities of varying sizes ranging from small universities with 1500students and 100 faculty members to very large universities with 100,000 students and over5000 faculty members. There is also diversity in the focus of the authors’ universities, with mostuniversities being hybrid (focus on both research and teaching) while some universities focuson only research or teaching.The programs managed by the authors range from those expecting OBE accreditation to thosethat have been accredited for more than 20 years.
