adjustments toan already over-burdened curriculum, in an attempt to meet a broad set of demands,have not been effective in meeting objectives, and have convinced manystakeholders that the time has come for a radical departure from the traditionallayered and sequential structure that has prevailed for decades. There are clearlysignificant challenges ahead. Decision makers should not lose site of the fact thatstudents and their learning should be the focus of the educational process. i.e., toreframe the roles of faculty and rethink the current “mental model” of teaching andlearning.Relevant Cognitive Processes for Faculty DevelopmentThe primary focus in this article is on the development of young engineering facultymembers in the Arab Gulf Region and

However ethicseducation for most construction management students currently lacks global and sustainabilitycomponents, and, further, curricula only require “micro-inserts” of ethics teaching without anysystematic or standalone course for professional education. This is contrast to engineeringprograms, such as civil, environmental, and computer engineering.

).1 In addition, for the purpose of shortening the route to real engineering world in front ofgraduates, it is clearly beneficial to further facilitate students making flexible use of engineeringknowledge they have assimilated in the classes and to strengthen the link between academictheorems and practical hands-on applications. Following this trend, a curricular and pedagogicalmodel for teaching multidisciplinary design to senior undergraduate students was presented.2 Asa result, a project-oriented capstone course at junior or senior year of undergraduate programshas been strongly required to balance the theory and practice in engineering education.3 Besides,an approach for engineering curriculum integration in capstone design courses to
