It should be both cross-curricular and interdisciplinaryand project based in nature. Already, engineering programs in the Gulf region such as those inKing Faisal University of Petroleum and Minerals in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait Universityinclude ASE issues and components in their curriculum, albeit at differing stages ofdevelopment.It is further significant in our context in that we are committed to developing behavioralcompetencies outlined by our sponsor, the national oil company- teamwork, organization,planning; time

State University. QMRA III is a one-and-a-half-week training program designed for advanced graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and earlycareer professionals to assimilate scientific data and implement computer programs towardsbuilding a risk assessment for assuring safety and health goals. Each cohort of QMRA IIIconsists of engineering, biological and social scientists with the goal of cross training. As part ofthe evaluation plan of the program, students were asked to construct a box-and-arrow diagramconveying a risk management plan involving the full range of biologic, economic, social,political, and cultural factors that impact risk during a pathogen exposure. Additionally, experts,professors and career professionals who were also the

The lecture consisted of guest speakers providing information aboutengineering departments, specific opportunities and the field more broadly. Despite beingpresented with information about the available learning experiences, enrolled students indicateda lack of confidence in making educational decisions [14]. In addition to the lecture, upper-levelstudents mentors led weekly discussions (15-25 students per discussion) on topics such asstrengths, identity and values, which are necessary to support the development of future plans[15] and thereby an integral component of experiential learning.In early 2020, we piloted a new model for the course

As a result, students lack opportunities to work on multi-yearprojects and develop the skills essential for long-term planning. To remedy this situation, ourdepartment has created elective courses that allow students from all years (first-year students tograduate students) to work on research projects under the supervision of faculty members and thementorship of senior graduate students. These projects provide the opportunities for students tolearn many skills essential in workplace, such as (1) understanding how projects are designed andmanaged; (2

As canbe seen in the figure, the monuments were difficult to initially locate due to theresemblance to grave markers. Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the plan view of themonuments.
