In this article, the author aims to discuss the recent decision by the Caledonian College of Engineering (CCE), Muscat, Oman, to introduce compulsory modules in personal development planning (PDP) at each level of study. The primary objective of PDP is to improve the capacity of individuals to understand what and how they are learning, and to review, plan and take responsibility for their own learning. It is clear that the CCE is able to educate engineers, providing them with subject-related skills necessary for the workplace. By introducing PDP, students are encouraged to become more aware of themselves as learners, colleagues and future managers, and to develop life-long learning skills. In the article, the author describes the Omani context, the main topic areas covered in PDP and the learning methodology, how these are assessed and evaluated, how these areas relate to the needs of current and future employers, and the challenges that have been faced during the implementation of these modules.
