graduatelevel class was developed in which students would be able to have a field experience where theywould be able to see a number of energy generation, distribution and use facilities as well asassociated pollution reduction and control facilities and various energy equipment manufacturingfacilities. The course objective was that at successful completion of the course the student shouldbe able to understand and describe: a) conventional and renewable electrical generation sources,b) electrical distribution systems, c) methods of controlling electrical power generation,distribution, and storage, and d) several methods commonly used to increase the efficiency ofelectrical energy use.The IAB was initially given a list of various categories of types of

This score of 1.5 was chosen by the departmentbecause in the EGMU scoring it falls midway between the Minimal and Goodindicators and therefore represents what a student would need in order to satisfythe requirements for graduation. (If each of the EGMU scores is adjusted tocorrespond to the grade points associated with A, B, C, D, a 1.5 is a C.) While many courses may satisfy a particular ABET outcome, the assessment committee has picked a subset of these courses that it finds most appropriate to

industry-academia collaboration on many fronts. It was inspired by a round tablediscussion, where engineering graduates of Region’s colleges have suggested ways to startdeveloping viable and enduring connections between local industries and the academicinstitutions of the Arab Gulf States. Strategies to help promote the collaboration effort areoutlined. In particular, activities (plans, and scenarios) perceived as effective in closing the gapbetween academia and industries are described. Training, capstone courses, consulting by facultyand joint research projects, aimed at serving the interest of both parties (academia & theindustrial partners) are also addressed. The paper sheds light on: the mission, the nature, andrelevant benchmarks of
