Mohammed from the Universityof Science and Technology indicated that disabled students are not aware of the availableengineering programs. According to him, disabled students believe that engineering programsare not available to disabled students and are reserved exclusively for normal students.Mohannad seems to agree with what the study shows. He indicated that almost all engineeringprograms require all types of physical activities (hands and legs) and this is the main reasonbehind the fact that a very limited number of disabled students join engineering programs.

A similar assignment with less supervision continues in the third year.The department to which GTFs are assigned in their first year teaches three first-year engineeringcourses for all engineering and computer science majors in the university. The first semestercourse is common for all majors, while two different second semester courses focus on designand digital technologies for a subset of majors. Topics listed in the catalog description for thefirst semester course include: problem definition, solution and presentation; design, includinghands-on realization working in teams; modeling and visual representation of abstract

IntroductionWith some exceptions, engineering design as we know it today is a relatively recentmanifestation of the evolutionary development of the current highly science-basedengineering curriculum. In many ways today’s engineering technology programs mirrorthe pre-1950’s engineering programs and today’s engineering programs appear, in somerespects, to be programs in applied physics. So how did we get to this point?The myth is that the Manhatten Project, one of the most
