Find strategies for actingThis type of knowledge is called “strategic” and is the basis for creative thinking.LLL procedure is usually the combination of the different learning processes and leads toprofessional engineering qualifications, which could be described as Knowledge, Skills andCompetencies.

communication and teamwork skills.ABET therefore now proposes improvement for the knowledge, skills and professional values for thegraduating students. In addition, analysis of the industry studies, together with the review of theABET accreditation criteria and study of engineering education reveals that the industryemployers and the students are looking for significant changes to the current philosophy anddelivery of engineering education [5]. These issues can be summarized as follows: 1. Engineering curricula does not provide sufficient integration of engineering science and technical topics to industrial practices. 2. Programs at times do not provide sufficient design experiences to students. 3. Graduates lack communication skills as well

value of this collaboration experience is generally positive, butadditional enhancement opportunities exist. We hypothesize that we can improve team performance ifstudents learn to understand the ways in which the culture and worldviews of the team members affectthe team’s decision-making and performance. In fact, when cultural accommodation does not take placeone might expect worse team performance in a mixed culture team. This would produce a U shape or“bath tub” performance curve when both cases are included - lots of bad and lots of good results, and notmuch in the middle. This means students must first understand their own cultural orientation andworldview and how representative it is of their home country, then achieve a similar

For solving this problem it is necessary to project the integrativeeducational system (cluster) for training creatively thinking students.For this objective an innovative educational model, new methodology and technology, newthinking, and higher level of consciousness become necessary. Models of contemporaryengineering education and activity must be based on general models which take intoconsideration the unity of the world in its complex connections, and ecological, ethical,aesthetical principles. In the process of developing the model an attention was focused on thefundamentalization of education, which is based
