Abstract

The present paper highlights a co-teaching model between Egyptian scholars and expats for a third-year design courses in the Sustainable Design Engineering program at the University of Prince Edward Island in Canada and its Cairo branch campus in Egypt. A team-based industry partner project was initiated, students were involved in a project was conducted. The students worked on the design project under the supervision of both the Egyptian and the Canadian faculty and they succeeded to propose a design solution aided by the manufacturing of a machine prototype. The co-teaching model was assessed with reference to the ability to tackle the twelve graduate attributes needed by an engineering graduate. The assessment was conducted via a survey sent to the industry partner. This model showed an overall very good ability to tackle most of the graduate attributes with room for improvement in two graduate attributes in the next design clinic.
