Thetask force recommended that this ecosystem be developed through universities which placeimportance on entrepreneurship and the establishment of “long term relationships” with theuniversities. In addition, the report stressed the importance of “access to capital”[1].Texas A&M University at Qatar has an excess of $120M dedicated to research work, much ofwhich involves the participation of undergraduate students; concurrently, both industry andacademia are investing heavily on training and development of those soon to be engineers. Theseefforts culminate in providing

China and India are projected to have the first and third largest economies,respectively, by 20502, and combined with Brazil and Russia are forecasted to grow from 18% ofglobal market capital now to 41% in 20303. This new industrial revolution in emerging marketsmust support one billion+ new middle class consumers who demand products to meet theirspecific needs, and another billion+ people who make less than two dollars per day but requireinnovative technologies and solutions to rise out of poverty4.

called RISE. RISE stands forResearch, International, Service, and Experiential learning. Our course proposal is unique in thatit incorporates three of these options: International, Service, and Experiential learning. • I: study abroad curricular experiences to enhance their learning and understanding of the world • S: service learning courses to enhance their commitment to civic engagement • E: credit-bearing experiential opportunities, such as internships, practical, clinical or fieldwork experiencesThe students are given the opportunity to see what service looks like on a global scale, by firstresearching the content, working in groups in class to explore solutions, then finally
