Outcomes by their very nature describes what students should know or can do by thetime of graduation. The implication is therefore, that lifelong learning and a global perspectivemust originate within the 4-year engineering curriculum/program. The

It is worth mentioning that such collaborationmay not lead to any financial gains however, it may result in enhanced research exposure andcapabilities as well competitive advantage14.Another form of collaboration is based on teaching method, called Blended Online Learning(BOL) 15

The approach showed useful to help students’ understanding andinsight of deterministic engineering algorithms.IntroductionTeaching students how to solve problems is a growing concern of Engineering and Technologyeducation. Problem solving in the Engineering/Technology practice is usually directed to thedesign of products or processes, and this connection makes the teaching of engineering problemsolving a natural part of design classes. In recent years new undergraduate courses have beenimplemented that expand creative thinking in engineering design by including solving problemand project based-learning [1]. A number of innovative teaching techniques can be employed forsuch purpose, being the “studio” methods particularly successful to

This practice isconsistent with systematic instructional design principles in the literature, where goal analysis ison of the first steps in the process3. The following outcomes are primary to the course: 1. Awareness of differences in the engineering profession and what type of work is involved in each major field. 2. Ability to work effectively in teams 3. Successful experiences with 2 or more design projects of moderate difficulty and 3 or more simple design projects. 4.

Simulations and virtual tours let your students see and try things thatare too small, too far away, too expensive, or too dangerous to experience physically. However,undergraduates will rarely think deeply about a simulation or virtual tour if they are just sent to“try it”. It is important to decide what you want students to learn from the tour or simulation, Page 10.910.5then guide them to and assess that learning objective by
