Therefore the camp engaged students frommultiple institutions and
academia in the Arab world. With funding from aconsortium of major oil companies including The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, Shell, BP, and JODCO and led bya team from the Colorado School of Mines, the Petroleum Institute was established in 2001. The goals of the Instituteinclude educating UAE nationals in fields of engineering (Chemical, Electrical, Mechanical, Petroleum and PetroleumGeosciences) that will serve the on-going needs of the oil and gas industry in the Gulf region. The Abu Dhabi NationalOil Company signed a nine-year agreement with the Colorado School of Mines to provide leadership in programs andcurriculum design, with the goal of achieving ABET accreditation for the Petroleum Institute. As part of that effort,experienced faculty
: Creating Linkages between Business and EngineeringAn innovative program at this University has proven to be an excellent vehicle for permittingcollaboration between Engineering and Business faculty and students. Students are given theopportunity to develop exciting new products and to pitch their ideas and designs to seniorleaders of regional corporations. The Ideation Challenge provides this vehicle. In addition todriving students to perform their best in front of leaders of industry, it is an outlet for innovationand creativity, the first steps in the entrepreneurial mindset. This year, for the first time, theIdeation Challenge will have a second phase. The second phase will be to take one of thoseinnovative ideas to the point where it is a

This will entail breaking out of the traditional teaching modefor both students and faculty in quest of a “right” answer.The faculty will need to help students to sort through ideas in a structured process.

Research indicates that suchvirtual laboratories can be viable alternative forms for laboratory learning activities with specialadvantages in distance education applications. Various researchers also evaluated whetherstudents learned target knowledge via virtual laboratory exercises.

While comparing simulations to “play” may takeaway from their perceived educational value, it is important to remember that play is oneof the most primordial and basic mechanisms for learning28. This is a well-establishedpractice, as evident in military games historically run to train for actual combat. From thisperspective, the concept of a lecture appears an artifact of an industrial-era obsession withefficiency28. Games provide a context for participants to learn by action, allowing forfailure without consequence28. Ultimately, this gives participants an intuitive feel for thesystem they are operating in, giving them functional capacity far beyond somebody whohas not been exposed to the system in practice

Therefore, during thesummer of 2018, with the support of industry partners and internal grants, the School ofEngineering Technology was able to develop a new 1100 sq. ft. metrology lab. This lab willprovide the opportunity for students to hone skills in programming and operating variousmeasuring equipment including three CMM machines. In collaboration with HexagonMetrology, students will also have the opportunity to gain certification on the machines.

This paper –presents and discusses the related factors and their interaction withthe success of graduates in the AEC industry. Within the results analyzed, it was found that by focusing oninterdisciplinary learning, graduates are more likely to integrate theoretical knowledge in practice, wherethey are then more successful. Factors that contribute to the interdisciplinary "success" of AE graduatesinclude meta-knowledge or metacognition skills, team interaction and collaboration skills, breadth
