petroleumengineering education to keep pace with these changes to keep attracting the brightest students.This is important because petroleum engineering schools need to prepare the future engineeringleaders of the industry. The aim is to equip them with the essential skills and to make them agileand adaptive so they can use their technical background and experiences to attain new skills andtackle challenges whenever needed. Thus, the petroleum engineering (PETE) program at TexasA&M at Qatar (TAMUQ) has implemented different educational tools (integrative andcooperative capstone project, fourth-year comprehensive exam (CE), augmented reality and 3Dvisualization, field trips and laboratory simulators, engineering video games, programming anddata analytics

engineers are not inherently creative. By drawing parallels between the engineeringdesign process and creative thought, it is argued that creativity is fundamental to solving complex modernproblems. The paper highlights the work of E. Paul Torrance, a pioneer in creativity research, whosetheories underscore that creativity can be taught and cultivated in students. Compatible educationalframeworks are then reviewed briefly. Drawing upon their experience of teaching courses such as CreativeDesign and Capstone Design, the authors present strategies to foster creativity within engineering curricula.These include collaborative reasoning, project-based learning, and the use of creative thinking tools likebrainstorming and ideation notebooks. Many

in Mechanical Engineering ProgramThe Mechanical Engineering program at our university is divided into four focus groups: Materialsand manufacturing (MM), Applied mechanics and design (AMD), Dynamics and control (DC),and Thermofluids engineering (TFE). Students are also required to take some General engineering(GE) and University elective (UE) courses. Courses in the MM stream are Workshop Practice,Materials Science, Engineering Materials, and Manufacturing Processes. Courses in the MMstream are Product Design, Machine Design I, Capstone Design, and Final Year Project. Examplesof sustainable engineering concepts and exercises given below are from one course each from theMM and AMD streams.Roadmap for Sustainability CurriculumChanges in

undergraduates? Engineering What design patterns for “trust-by-construction” (e.g., Verifiable Trust translation & Signals, adaptive reciprocity engines) emerge from the PD–trust evidence gaps mapping, and which of these patterns still require empirical validation or formal-verification proofs before industrial adoption?5 Analytical Mapping of PD Variants to Trust MechanismsTo avoid “table overload” and foreground pedagogical logic, we separate the seven PDvariants into foundational dynamics that any introductory course can model and advanceddynamics suited to capstone or graduate projects. Each sub-section begins with a concisetable and closes with a narrative that interprets how the mapped mechanism

programs have not given muchrecent consideration to the appropriateness of this requirement. While there has been muchdiscussion of other aspects of engineering education, including the incorporation into thecurriculum of more “soft-skills”, class delivery modes, and capstone design project requirements,there has not been much discussion of the appropriate role for technical electives. This issomewhat surprising considering the desire of many programs and universities to reduce thenumber of credits required for an engineering degree in an effort to increase graduation rates,reduce time-to-graduation, and decrease student debt loads. With this in mind, the primarypurpose of this paper is to prompt discussion of the purpose of technical electives
