Egypt facesmany water challenges as one of the most arid countries in the world. Most of its land isdesert, and the Nile River represents 95% of the nation's currently accessible water supply[10]. Today, the current water program curriculum at Egyptian universities does not providethe essential requirements to equip graduates with the skills to solve Egypt's current andfuture water needs. Consequently, many water program graduates in Egypt areunderemployed [11, 12]. The engineering workforce necessitates investment to adjust and advance

with industry, colleges of engineering arestriving to be "one-stop-shops". As part of these partnerships, the role of research and graduateeducation is often a central focus. Indeed, in addition to tangible research results, companies areoften very interested in hiring advanced degree candidates as well as traditional undergraduateengineering students. One of the key ingredients in working out such partnerships is findingways to entice outstanding students into completion of an advanced degree.Despite the increasing prevalence of such opportunities, graduate school is not often thought ofby students as a career path, especially early in their undergraduate curriculum.

engineering approach is employed ie. a top down, hierarchical, modularanalysis. According to Scragg: “most (perhaps all) first courses in computer hardware are created ‘upside down’ - both pedagogically and pragmatically” 6. This has the consequence that: “Pedagogically, this approach provides no ‘cognitive hooks’, which might enable students to relate new material to that of previous courses - until the semester is almost complete.” 6.Accordingly Scragg recommends a top down approach starting with material already familiar tostudents and then working towards less familiar models.

The same as when apracticing engineer completes problem scoping, an instructional team can take input from thediverse group of stakeholders, to define learning objectives. The backwards design process canthen inform the rest of the course design for assessment and pedagogy. As time passes, changes to curriculum always arise; areas for improvement will bespotted, materials will be modernized, new contributors will bring in fresh perspectives andenergy, information or teaching methods will become obsolete.

Approximately 320 students were advised in this manner, during seven summerorientation sessions. This was a significant change from previous years, which used a college-specific approach to advising, thereby limiting various retention programs and opportunitiesdesigned and promoted by the College of Engineering to engineering majors. The motivation forthese changes was a Science Talent Expansion Program award from the National ScienceFoundation, and the fact that the retention rates for freshmen engineering majors isapproximately 10
