mainlycommon for the fiber composite materials. Generally, continuous fiber composite materials con-sist of a heterogeneous interphase regions, and the mechanical property may change from regionto region sometimes based on the fiber and matrix locations and contents. Local damages andfiber waviness may also affect the inconsistences [1,11,17]. Overall, this study indicated that se-lected surface treatment method has a great impact on the mechanical strength improvements ofthe composite materials that have the extensive surface damages and free edge effects happenedduring the machining and assembly.3.2 Training Engineering Students Composite science and technology has been gaining much attention worldwide becauseof the requirements and new
technology. According to areport by Lund [4], there is a 64% potential of automation in manufacturing industries due to theimpact of 4IR. Hence there will be a decrease in physical, manual and basic cognitive skills andincreased demand in technological and social skills in Industry.With the increase in demand for social skills, the requirement of complex collaboration andeffective teamwork will further increase with the expansion of technological advancement inengineering workplaces shifting to 4IR. However, industry and academia have not agreed onwhat important teamwork aspects are necessary to comprehend the changes in Industry 4.0.There are several initiatives taken by engineering researchers to identify the important teamworkattributes required

This raises interesting issuesaround students’ feelings about the importance of these topics, and indicates that these questionsmay reflect on the affective domain (e.g. value) to an equal or greater extent than the cognitivedomain (e.g. knowledge, reflected in the response to Q2).IntroductionEngineering has significant and important impacts on society, being critical to providing basicnecessities (e.g. access to clean water) as well as contemporary conveniences and entertainment.While largely positive changes have resulted from the use of technology, engineers should alsocarefully weigh the potential for negative outcomes.

technologies currently being developed hasprofound implications for engineering education. Our students have to face increasinglycomplex adaptive systems organized in recursive, nonlinear feedback loops. A morepronounced attention to nonlinear systems could thus enable our students to understand notonly the usefulness but also the limits of linearity, and facilitate the comprehension of morecomplex systems. This is especially true for mathematics, as differential equations play afundamental role in the modeling and analysis of complex systems.Courses in ordinary differential equations are part of the majority of undergraduateengineering curricula, and typically cover analytical solution methods for first-order andlinear higher-order differential

These skills play a very important rolein their success to meet the technological challenges in their engineering careers to solvecomplex engineering challenges and undertake engineering design related activities.Many of the activities undertaken by engineers in their professional work are related to projectsthat involve working for a client within the constraints of strict specifications, varyingcomplexity, and controlled time lines. The projects can be multidisciplinary involving teams ofspecialists from diverse backgrounds. To successfully achieve the goals of a project, engineersneed to integrate knowledge and skills gained from the engineering curriculum. The projectexperience during undergraduate

development of leadership skills is key to a successfullong-term career and has been highlighted by both the profession, academia and governmentfunding agencies as a critical need. Increasing diversity and inclusion in leadership is also criticalfor technology companies as they become global enterprises. Yet, there is a gap in knowledge ofleadership views, experiences, and skills for a diverse population of engineering students that areconsidered to be millennial students to frame how to construct a logic model that identifies thefactors that influence a student’s perseverance in pursuing leadership experience [1].
