. Jones and B. S. Obersthave identified the need for reform in engineering education in the Arab world and all parts ofthe world, “as universities prepare graduates to enter the profession of engineering which hasbeen transformed by massive technological developments and by globalization of all aspects ofconcern to engineers. Engineering educators in the Arab states region face particular challengesin addition to those facing similar educators in other parts of the world (including) tailoringprograms to fill the needs of countries that are undergoing rapid modernization.” 7The objective of this discussion is to get the students to recognize that globalization is a term thatrecognizes the increasing interdependency of world industry and business
