that faculty and students are on equal footing when itcomes to some of the new high-tech options. Even though we are dealing with asophisticated student population of practicing engineers, it’s probably dangerous to trustthat they are familiar and comfortable with our technology choices. We have found thatstudents and faculty each need some level of instruction before the technology becomesinvisible and concentration on content can begin. Instructing the students became a focusduring course development, and instructing faculty in the technologies employed wasincorporated into their orientation to distance education.Policies vs. practice in a traditional system This factor is the most hidden, but probablyhas the greatest potential for derailing

contributing to this failure is the tremendous inertia of the educationalsystems of the Region. (2, 3)The paper sheds light on the seemingly complex issues that have curtailed proper “connectivity”between academia and industry in the Arab Gulf States, and argues for the urgent need to worktogether towards developing mutually beneficial and long-lasting relations, at the grass rootlevel, so that the interests of people on both sides (students, graduates, faculty members,industrial staff, industry managers, research proponents, etc) will be properly served. Perhaps thegreatest achievement in such an endeavor is to improve the “relevancy” of engineeringeducation, by bringing the college closer to the “realities” on the ground. There is a tremendousneed

? Three approaches for bringing forensics and failure case studies into the civil engineeringcurriculum are possible. These are • New stand-alone forensic engineering or failure case study courses, • New capstone design projects, and • Integration of failure case studies into the existing curriculum. The first two alternatives have been implemented at several institutions, including theUniversity of Texas, Mississippi State University and the University of Colorado at Denver,where practicing forensic engineers are members of the faculty. Clearly, this approach dependson the availability of qualified and interested faculty. Use of forensic projects in capstone(Senior) design courses requires the availability of appropriate projects

Guskin 3 observes, "to create learning environments focused directly on activities that enhance student learning, we must restructure the role of the faculty to maximize essential faculty-student interaction, integrate new technologies fully into the student learning process, and enhance student learning through peer interaction."

In contrast to the broadening of interests being witnessed in manyindustries, too few civil engineering-related programs are adopting a global, new economyfocus6. Is this a reflection of the industry direction, or a problem with the education system? Inshort, it does not matter. What is relevant is the fact that the situation exists and it needs to beaddressed and changed. The industry cannot decry the lack of leadership if a demand and focusis not placed on creating these leaders.

However, of the 528 students that enrolled inthe school of engineering technology, only 8.5% of them were females while only 6% of these528 students classify as underrepresented [11]. The U.S Department of Education [12] recentlyidentified that only 11% of students who identify as low-income (includes all ethnic groups) earnan undergraduate degree within six years.
