Program graduateshave taken up employment as chemical engineering technologists in process industries, includingpetroleum (ARAMCO, SAMREF, YASREF), petrochemical (SABIC Group, PETRORABIGH,NATPET), environmental protection (RCEPC), desalination units (MARAFIQ), and wastewatertreatment plants (MARAFIQ). The program educational objectives are that graduates will: possess the technical knowledge and skills needed for employment in jobs related to laboratory applications, analysis, design, control, technical support and supervision of chemical processes; have the understanding and commitment to protect the public interest, health, safety and the environment, and to maintain the
, California) used this design approach for itscurricula5. We are using a combination of instructional systems and “Backwards Approach(BA)” to re-design UV curricula.BA design6,7 is a method of designing curriculum by choosing learning outcomes beforeinstructional methods or assessments. This means one chooses the outcome of the learningexperience first, and let’s that guide the teaching/learning and the assessment/evaluation. Thismethod challenges "traditional" methods of curriculum planning in which a list of contentthat will be taught is created and/or selected first and teaching/assessment methodologyusually are lectures and laboratories, with written exams as assessment of learning. Inbackward design, the educator starts with goals, creates or

International project refers to a senior-year capstone design project with the involvement of another (host) country, often including sponsors and co-workers from the host country. 3. International work placement involves work at a foreign firm for a duration that ranges anywhere from 4 months to an entire year. 4.

Some of the projects led by the Juniors are: community clean-ups, raffle project for thecollege laboratories, American Red Cross blood drive, women’s center projects, science centerprojects, city park tree planting and many others. Also, Juniors are required to develop importanthabits for industry, such as arriving early for the meetings, knowing how to give a properhandshake, facilitating a social conversation, active participation in meetings and conferences,holding themselves accountable and demonstrating excellence in all
Application in Biomedical Engineering” in which students are taught skills in virtualinstrumentation for developing biomedical device prototypes4.Multidisciplinary studies require students to take more courses then other traditional courses.This has caused to reduce load of laboratory modules.

: metals, polymers,ceramics. The course also taught different types of material failure and how to select materials to avoidfailure. The types of failure topics addressed include yielding, creep, wear, fatigue and fracture. Thecourse text material was based around two popular materials textbooks.15, 16 Traditional teaching inChina tends to be rote learning, more passive than active. This course employed an inquiry-basedapproach with a combination of integrated class/seminars and laboratory-demonstration classes. TheDeakin-led classes consisted in two hours of lecture, followed by a two-hour practical class. Thepractical classes focussed on six aspects of materials science and engineering: Stress and strain in materials Material
present.First Phase (1924 - 1940) In the first phase, there was a Department or Faculty of Engineering under theUniversity of Rangoon, which gave civil engineering, mechanical engineering andelectrical engineering courses at College of Engineering which later became RIT.Second Phase (1946 – 1961) The system at that time was in such a way that the students had to take commoncourses in the first 2 years and branched out into different disciplines of choice, startingfrom the 3rd year. The total contact hours of learning for engineering students were about30 hours per week and 6 years of undergraduate course after matriculation. The mediumof teaching was mainly English. In addition to the lectures, laboratory work and drawing,all the students had
starting in the Spring semester of 2016 to discuss ideasfor the children’s book. Many important challenges and opportunities were discussed anddebated in these project meetings. The first decision to be made was the target audience and themain character of the book. Other decisions such as narrative style, illustrations, number ofpages, type of book paper, and other fundamental aspects of the project were raised. MohammadAlGammal, a technical laboratory coordinator, agreed to tackle the precise mechanical drawingsnecessary for the book. Two students volunteered to create and draw the main character andbackground. In addition to the students and advisors, two students were hired as part-timeworkers for the book project. These students communicated
to behave when they are practicing their respective crafts is often thought to be relative to each craft. The second challenge concerns variation within each practice, due to differences in mores that are manifest in laboratories, universities, journals, professional meetings, organizations, and academy-‐industry collaborations. Both challenges are made more difficult by what we might call the “anthropological” realities of global research, namely, the cultural, national, and linguistic diversity of researchers that complicates the matter of their collective ethics in many cases of collaboration. There is ample evidence that different normative

Page 19.22.2The importance of a transferrable innovative learning system model that is focused on aninclusive, integrative, experiential, and dynamic STEM undergraduate degree training is greatlywarranted. Studies have demonstrated that learning is a lifetime process that supports a student’sacquisition of knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviors towards success not just while employed(Gardner, 1994; Fink 2003). One way to address this learning process is through experientiallearning, which provides concrete experiences (i.e., laboratories, field works, problem sets),reflecting

degree in engineering,science or medicine, which is designed to take 10 semesters. Enrolled graduate students areexpected to first obtain a Certificate in BME through one or two semesters of full time study (12units), a Diploma is issued after two to four semesters (24 units total), and finally a Master’sdegree after four to six semesters (48 units total). Students may leave the program at any ofthese stages with what is anticipated to be a useful credential for work in the emergingbiomedical industry. Typical courses are 2 or 3 units, where 1 unit represents at least 15 hours ofcontact time, and up to 25 hours if the course includes a laboratory or design component. TheMaster’s degree does not require a thesis, but it does require a 6 unit
that online quiz scoresshowed higher correlation with final examination marks than laboratory or assignment marks.Grimstad and Grabe (2004)19 found that students who completed voluntary quizzessignificantly improved their exam performances. However, their conclusions were explainedby good students being both motivated to take voluntary quizzes and likely to do well onexams. Brothen and Wambach (2001)8 cautioned that mandatory quizzes only improve examperformance if students employ an efficient strategy of using the quizzes to test their ownknowledge of the material, rather than attempting to use the quiz to learn the material.Furthermore, a set of precautions were suggested by Angus and Watson (2009)20 forsuccessful administration of periodic
