This paper explores ways to effective professionaldevelopment of Region’s engineering educators to enable them to assume the roles they areentrusted with. The purpose here is to offer a new way to think about the development of theprofessional engineering educator. In this respect, the paper focuses on:(i) the cognitiveprocesses that faculty would most likely tend to follow as they grow and learn more aboutteaching and learning,(ii) the discipline-based industrial/practical experience they need to acquirein their locale to add to their repertoire as “practitioners” of engineering, and (iii) the institutionalinitiatives, including: administrative support

emerged “[a]fter Henry Ford agreed to mass produce B-24 bombers at the rate ofone every hour” (p. 236). However, when Ford received the engineering drawings from theoriginal designer, Consolidated Aircraft Company, the firms found they spoke different languages. Where Consolidated used fractional dimensions— the survival of a cruder age of aircraft construction—Ford used decimal notations entirely. Moreover the Consolidated draftsmen all presumed that their drawings would be interpreted by experienced foremen. They made use of all sorts of signs and symbols without amplification (Holley, 1964, p. 522; quoted in Brown, 2000, p. 236).As later described by two war-time commissioners, British marine engine builders

Lewin, who has put forward group dynamics based on histheory of psychodynamics in the 1940s, perceives that group is not formed based on physicalapproximation or simple similarity of the members, but on the fact that a group ofinterdependent people gather together [1]. According to the theory, a person's behavior (B) isthe result of internal demand (P) and external environment (E), which can be expressed byB=f (P, E).

Moving forward, the outcomes of the various tactics listed abovewill be measured by the number of interested students and faculty members and the ability tofind them appropriate and meaningful international engineering educational programs.Universities need to continue to focus on finding creative ways to engage the students andprovide them with opportunities to have an international experience that will last a lifetime.i Bhandari, P.

However,aside from anecdotal evidence, little data have been published in support of this assumption.Senior exit survey data were analyzed to determine if there were any differences in educationalexperiences, co-curricular experiences, satisfaction, and preparedness between those who have orhave not studied abroad. Differences between international and domestic students were alsoexamined.Higher levels of perceived preparedness to work in a global context were found for students whohave studied
