AB  - Recent studies emphasize the needs of a wider set of skills engineers require than ever thought. These studies continue to emphasize that technical content knowledge and competencies are essential for any engineer; however, in addition to being well-grounded in mathematics and science, 21st century engineers should be well-shaped in broader knowledge-base and diverse personal/ interpersonal key-skills.  
Qatar is increasingly investing in knowledge development within its boundary, either through home grown manpower or through collaborative efforts from research centres from around the world.  
The investigation aimed to get overview of three main folds: 1- needed skills and content knowledge currently and in the future, 2- perception of potential transformations in light of Qatar National Vision 2030, and 3- perceptions in regards with academia-industry collaboration.  Interviews with students, faculty, and representatives from the major industrial sectors in Qatar have been conducted. In this paper, findings from quantitative and qualitative investigation are reported. Quantitative analysis relied on comprehensive survey with multiple stakeholders from industry and academia, while qualitative analysis is constructed based on content analysis and grounded theory approaches.
Consensus has emerged among different stakeholders on a set of skills needed for engineers, such as: communication, teamwork, problem solving, life-long learning, etc.  
In this paper, authors report on the empirical study investigating the needs of skills in engineering in Qatar, currently and in the future. Gaps have been identified, conceptualization is developed, and recommendations have been drawn upon.
