. present an approach of string comparison with the meaning of the words– semanticsimilarity. The approach uses WordNet R -based Semantic Similarity Measurement (WSSM) asthe database for synonyms. WordNet R is a database of English and an open source project basedat Princeton University. The authors use five steps to compute a semantic similarity for twosentences. The steps are (a) separating sentence into a list of tokens, (b) disambiguatingparts-of-speech, (c) stemming words, (d) finding the most appropriate sense, and (e) computingthe similarity. Although there might be many limitations, the method worked fine for this researchbecause the target learners are supposed to be trained to use terms in their process maps.Our method of comparing

thecurriculum. We wanted to ascertain whether they would like to have “mini-capstone” projectsincorporated into the curriculum in order to give them experience with solving practicalproblems earlier in their degree program. Finally, we wanted to know whether they would beinterested in having a series of project presentations by industry professionals integrated into themain-capstone course. The survey that we distributed to the students is found in Appendix A.Presenter Survey: We also conducted another survey in which we distributed a questionnaire tothe project presenters (see Appendix B). This survey was designed to gain an industryprofessional’s perspective on the following issues:1. The level of preparedness that fresh engineering graduates have

for increased “relevancy” of engineering educationwith greater industry-academia collaboration on many fronts. It was inspired by a round tablediscussion, where engineering graduates of Region’s colleges have suggested ways to startdeveloping viable and enduring connections between local industries and the academicinstitutions of the Arab Gulf States. Strategies to help promote the collaboration effort areoutlined. In particular, activities (plans, and scenarios) perceived as effective in closing the gapbetween academia and industries are described. Training, capstone courses, consulting by facultymembers, and joint research projects, aimed at serving the interest of both parties (academia &the industrial partners) are also addressed. The
