problems, in analready full academic curriculum. This paper describes an approach to helping students developstructural engineering design skills in an introductory level mechanics of solids class. Thisapproach includes three components: (i) a process book, (ii) a design workshop, and (iii) a post-design workshop critique. The specific design skills that students learn and practice includeproblem scoping, brainstorming, sketching, generating and evaluating alternative schemes, andcritique. Additionally, through this project, students contextualize their understanding of thefundamental principles of solid mechanics. The merit of this project is that students cansuccessfully learn design skills in an existing introductory engineering

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
Science CoursesAbstractOnline teaching and learning has become a popular pedagogy for educators and students due tothe flexibility and accessibility of course materials.
