In the ever-advancing engineeringindustry, how would our Materials Engineering education system adequately prepare ourstudents with the essential knowledge and skills necessary to adapt and excel in their career?What are the learning outcomes that are required to support such excellence?To design these learning outcomes in our curriculum, gathering and analysing relevantstakeholders’ input is crucial. This paper presents our endeavour in partnering thestakeholders (students, educators/faculty, alumni and employers) to understand the gaps andneeds of Materials Engineering education. Consultations with the stakeholders were designedto rally around three main focus areas namely (i) to evaluate the existing

, professional engineers require not only technological know-how, but also a set of key professional skills and broad understanding of contemporary issues. Critical to efforts to prepare local engineering undergraduates for careers in today’s economy, it is argued, is a rethinking of how engineers are educated. In this paper, the major aspects of calls for reform are highlighted, with a discussion of suggested pedagogical approaches and changes in learning environment that can better prepare engineers for the roles they will play in the 21st century. One set of innovations which appears to be having positive impacts in this direction are the efforts of the Arts and Science Program at a small Middle Eastern

As such,K-12 STEM teachers need adaptable conceptual and epistemic understandings of engineering asdiscrete disciplinary knowledge, skills, and career paths (Bryan & Guzey, 2020). Understandingengineering in this way means being able to recognize and articulate it as more than merely a sub-construct of science (Van den Bogaard et al., 2021), but rather a related yet distinct disciplinewith its own highly contextual and culturally bound practices, processes, and outcomes (Lewis,2006; Pleasants, 2020).
