The failure of the engineering curricula to satisfy the national and the global market's demands has dominated the thinking of different levels of authorities in Egypt. The education system has been designed to produce 'good employees' rather than 'good entrepreneurs'. The educators at Shoubra Faculty of Engineering, SFE, realized the drop in the capabilities of the students regarding business aspects and cross platforms. SFE arranged two 3- full day programs addressed to last year students (year 4) in all engineering departments. The objective of the program was to prepare students to possess entrepreneurial skills in order to plan, run a small business and serve the community, thus complementing the academic education. This paper presents the program and its evaluation. It also proposes an alternative in implementing cross-disciplinary courses for engineering education based on restructuring the curricula

This paper describes the results of an educational project aiming to promote improved learning and entrepreneurial spirit among engineering students by resorting to the simulation of real world business cases in a collaborative digital environment. The approach is based on the combination of the following ingredients: - Creation of student awareness about real world engineering activities, involving engineering professionals and enterprises in selected classroom activities; - Simulation of a business environment in capstone project classes; - Market gaming around a set of business cases where students are organized in teams playing different professional roles (role playing); - Linking the outcome of market gaming and associated business cases with syllabus topics and with practical technological and market issues. The results obtained so far are encouraging and have attracted a major international prize: HP Innovations on Education.

Engineers design new products, increase productivity, and thereby increase the standard of living worldwide. Although the common wisdom is that large corporations invest the most money in new product R&D, the surprising fact is that most discontinuous innovations come from small firms, and most engineers in the US are employed by entrepreneurial firms as well. In spite of the centrality of entrepreneurial skills to engineering practice, most engineering curricula focus on teaching techniques that will enable students to "build a better mousetrap," rather than to design for economic value. One way to rectify this situation is to push engineering curricula to be more entrepreneurial. The engineering curriculum of the future should include a series of courses designed to help engineers maximize both the entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial value of engineers. In partnership with business schools, engineering programs should design curricula that present a quantitatively rigorous and theoretically grounded approach to innovation. Central to this approach is the development of a market mentality that takes into account all of the relevant economic aspects of design, not simply relative advantage.

The explosion of technological complexity has intensified the struggle between depth and breadth in engineering programs. It is difficult for graduating students to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams. Although multidisciplinary projects and courses can address this, a strong foundation of communication and non-technical skills is also required. Case studies are proposed to help develop these skills within disciplinary courses. A novel approach to the development of diverse case studies based primarily on student work term experience is presented. These cases are very motivating and have proven to be an effective and engaging application of course material.

The emergence of powerful numeric and symbolic scientific software applications, including MATLAB, Maple, and Mathematica, has revolutionized engineering design. These applications have allowed users to perform computations and calculations at levels of sophistication and depth that were not available to practitioners even one generation ago. They have also given educators the ability to convey advanced mathematical and engineering concepts in new ways and spend more time on analysis of engineering systems and less time on remedial mathematics. This new capability, which has become a fundamental tool for sophisticated designers in industry, is still not fully embraced in many engineering curricula. To exemplify the potential of scientific software in the engineering classroom, we describe a laboratory exercise conducted by second-year engineering students at Drexel University. It introduces a geosynchronous satellite orbital entry problem, and demonstrates how scientific software can help students understand the behavior of an interesting physical system in a way that would have required much more effort using traditional methods. We believe that early introduction to symbolic computation tools and scientific software would be very valuable to engineering students. Such tools should become standard instruments in the arsenal of present-day engineers. Moreover, their use should be adopted across the curriculum (not only in introductory mathematics classes) and become part of the design experience in all engineering disciplines.

Abstract - The masters graduate degree program in engineering must change to respond to the needs of the modern practicing engineer. What is needed is a balance between theory and practice, between academic rigor and the best practices of industry, presented in an integrated way that feeds the needs of modern practicing engineers and the companies they work for. The new Master of Engineering in Mechatronics program attempts to remedy these deficiencies. The key element is the one-credit module which: balances theory and practice where concepts are application-driven, not theory-driven; identifies and understands industrial best practices by dissecting them into engineering and mathematical fundamental models; achieves innovation by assembling these fundamental models into new products and processes; analyzes both existing and new products and processes using computer simulations within a topic area; demonstrates hardware to show system realization and validity of modeling and analysis results; shows videos of industry systems and interviews with industry experts; discusses best practices to achieve sustainability of products; and maintains flexibility through 15 one-hour blocks of instruction - a 5-week mini-course or longer if preferred.

The Global and South African economy in particular has moved from a manufacturing (product) to a services dominant orientation. As a consequence many South African engineering enterprises are implementing a “servitization” strategy in order to increase the institution’s revenue stream. The global services economy is also extremely competitive and very volatile in nature and gaining a competitive advantage within this marketplace has very definite skills and cultural implications. This paper focuses on the skills and organisational culture implications in managing the transition from a manufacturing to a services dominant operational setting. The methodology used in conducting the research study, in the first instance, entailed the undertaking of a literature research to gain an understanding of the skills and cultural aspects involved in managing such a transition. In the second instance use was made of a case study undertaken at a South African enterprise that had undergone a servitization process. A correlation between theory and practice was undertaken and the skills implications involved were then also analysed with reference to the prevailing South African business environment to evaluate the consequences of the research findings from a national skills development perspective. The methodology use is consequently analyticaldescriptive and thus qualitative in nature. Important findings emanating from the research is that the servitization process has a very definite organizational culture implication and the skills set required by managers and staff needs to be extended in scope to capture the multi-disciplinary nature of the services economy. KeywordsServitization; South African dual manufacturing and services economy; organizational culture; and T-shaped people skills.
