Thesecond offering is a PhD degree that delivers the research workforce that can develop andinnovate new technologies and products.3-‐1 Curricula Development and Design Recognizing the fact that engineering curricula have been traditionally slow when responding toindustrial demands, and typically lack the “real-world” preparations demanded by industry ashighlighted by Miller7. So there is a need to develop a curricula design-structure that utilizes anobjective methodology and uses the industry input to yield a set of educational offerings thatcater to the professional and awareness skills
place.Industries are demanding that engineering graduates must have certain skills. In order to ensurequality assurance worldwide, an International Engineering Alliance [1] has been formed with thefollowing mission: Mission - working together to advance and benchmarking and mobility in the engineering profession.There are three agreements known as Washington, Dublin and Sidney Accords covering mutualrecognition in respect of tertiary-level qualifications in engineering.8.1 Washington, Dublin and Sidney AccordsThe Washington Accord signed in 1989 was the first – it recognizes substantial equivalence inthe accreditation of qualifications in professional engineering, normally of four years.The Sydney Accord which commenced in 2001

The two groups did not differ in time writing papers and working on projects. (SeeTable 1.) Given that U.S. students spend about 15 hours per week in lecture and Indian studentsspend about 23 hours in lecture, U.S. students were closer to following the Golden Rule thanIndian students, but neither group appeared to be following the rule.Table 1.

The learning journey should also be reinforced by peer-supportnetworking in a virtual social network which students and alumni can access acrossinstitutions. This learning journey is illustrated in Figure 1.Under the educational development stream, it is proposed to embed principles such asInnovation, Leadership, Globalization and Sustainability, as part of the 21st Century SkillsSet14, into relevant technical and engineering curriculum infused within the personal,professional and educational development framework. It is envisaged that the learningjourney may involve short-term placements in another industry such as banking or the arts.Under

Students who have recently returned from aninternational service experience in Andean Peru report their perception of the value of the trip byresponding to the following prompts: 1) what was the significance of service learning to yourprofessional development?, 2) compare the value of international experiences with the value ofsimilar domestic experiences, 3) was service learning effective at developing technical skills?and, 4) what motivated you to incorporate international service learning into the crampedengineering curriculum? For comparison, the two faculty organizers also responded to the sameprompts. While not all student responses

In [1],loads flow and fault analysis of a small-size power system using the PowerWorld simulatorsoftware version 10.0 was presented so that students could gain an understanding of thecapabilities of this tool and obtain and “animated picture” of a typical power system. In [2], anew power system analysis software program using the C# software and MATLAB software wasdesigned and developed to allow students to enhance their understanding of the power systemanalysis concepts. Reference [3] discusses the course contents and pedagogical approachemployed to deliver the new power system course using the Power System Simulator forEngineering (ESS/E) that aids power system studies.
