efforts have an impact on the engineering curriculumand deserve the attention of engineering educators. Even while working for internationalstandards, teaching with English texts and collaborating with western engineeringcolleges, engineering educators in the Arab world should keep in mind that the majorityof their students will practice at home, in the region, in Amman, in Muscat, in Liwa, andnot in Toronto, Los Angeles, or Bonn. The admonition to think globally and act locallyhas never been more appropriate. For an Arab engineering educator acting locally mightinclude the integration of entrepreneurship skills into the engineering curriculum,collaboration with local agencies and private businesses for practical experience,requiring students to

Research on engineering in a global context is urgently needed.These recommendations suggest that educational institutions, government agencies, and theprivate industry around the world should collaborate among them to provide mobility,transnational internships, projects, and research initiatives to the faculty and students in a globalcontext.

Collaboration platforms: Explore the potential of collaborative VR platforms where students can work together on projects in a virtual environment. AI integration: Further explore the role of AI in personalized learning experiences and real-time feedback mechanisms within VT platforms.Future research is also needed to see how students and the industry respond to the product of theirprojects. A questionnaire will be sent out to students and the industry regarding their performance,how they utilized the VT in their project, and lessons learned after their capstone project.By

instruction. Finally, faculty members’ reflect on theirexperience working as part of a multidisciplinary team and offer recommendations forimplementation.BackgroundThe field of engineering demands collaboration to solve today’s complex problems. Gone are thedays of working alone in a lab. Today’s engineer needs to be able to function as a productiveteam member, and to accomplish this objective, the engineer needs to be a competentcommunicator. As a result, much of the focus of communication instruction within theengineering disciplines emphasizes effective informal communication within teams. In fact, agreater focus has been placed on “teaming” in the engineering education literature.Engineering teaming research, in general, encompasses the following
-level “program” (somewhat similar to our local Science & Technology StudiesProgram or our new School of Biomedical Engineering & Science), governed by faculty from allparticipating units, that will oversee the degrees. As a part of the creation of the Program, whichis currently being referred to as the “Education-Engineering Collaborative” (EEC), we plan toredefine and include our existing Technology Education graduate program, which has beenranked as one of the top such programs in the nation. This is not a radical combination, since asengineers, we feel an instant kinship when we visit the Technology Education laboratories andsee wind tunnels and polymer fabrication equipment in use.

engineering jobs, however, there is a general acceptanceamong most engineers that graduates will “really” learn how to be an engineer during thefirst year or two on the job. Rarely did practicing engineers recommend more engineering inengineering curricula. Rather, most of the engineers emphasized more instruction on clientinteraction, collaboration, making oral presentations, and writing, as well as the ability todeal with ambiguity and complexity. As two engineers opined: …it is kind of a sore spot with me that educational institutions teach when you do your work there is a right answer and a wrong answer. And in the real world it is never that way, there are many ways to do things and it is not a matter of getting a right
