The engineering educators usually prepare engineersand technicians to become productive professionals in the engineering market, but,unfortunately, the engineering market is moving at faster rate than the engineeringeducation. This ultimately puts pressure on the engineering educators to improvecourses and curriculums at a faster rate.Another approach to address this issue is to understand the problems and thechallenges the students are facing with the new emerging technologies [1].
