United Arab Emirates continues to pursue a strategy of diversifying its economy from non-oil sectors to high technology and high growth sectors and the demand for qualified mechanicalengineering graduates are in rise [1]. However, today industries demand more than technicalexperts, competent professionals. Also one of the measures necessary for achievingemployability is developing transversal skills and competencies, such as communication andlanguages, the ability to handle information, to solve problems, to work in teams and to leadsocial processes. The accreditation bodies’ recent trends in engineering education have led toincreased integration of design and other important engineering practice skills i.e., teamwork,project management

Education, 2020 Brazilian Grassroots Engineers’ Education: Achievements, Flaws, and ChallengesIn the early 2000s, a particular form of engineering practice emerged in Brazil. It is calledgrassroots engineering (GE) and articulates the social technology and solidarity economymovements.GE is one of the latest university offspring of Paulo Freire’s pedagogy of the oppressed. It isprecisely from Freire’s ideas that GE gets not only part of its own name (grassroots or popular)but also the fundamentals of its very working. Based on that, back in 2008, three engineerscoined a concept that became the identification of a professional profile capable of GE: educatorengineer. A profile that, besides the regular technical

We are far from achieving this level with kilowatt-sized devices, but areasonable mass market may develop at about 2 to 3 times that price level among customers whovalue the grid independence and emergency usage potential of the devices. Increasing theefficiency of small devices requires leading-edge technologies that are extremely expensivetoday, because they come from national defence or space programs, and suffer from very smallproduction size. A huge price drop can come from mass market efficiencies and integration ofmultiple devices, storage and uses if there is a large market. But getting the retail customer tobuy enough such devices
