Engineering majors, and followed by the organic chemistry/biochemistrycourse(s), and by the fact that no modern (20th century-themed) science class existed inKUSTAR’s College of Engineering curriculum at the time of building up this lab and the course. Further, this lab program has been motivated by the need to increase the focus ondeveloping students’ competencies and professional skills/soft skills. In recent years, globalcompetency has been introduced as an important “soft” skill2,3 that engineering graduates shouldacquire along the training through a standard engineering curriculum. This trend and suggestionsfor attempting to standardize the “criteria for global competence” of engineering graduates are
