I am collaborating with non educational institution (local Qatari company) in a solar project. Can I include one of their engineers as collaborator?
Yes, an experienced engineer is qualified to be a collaborator. We require that at least one of the mentors has a PhD or equivalent. In this case, it would be you. As for the second part, UREP allows a maximum of 3 students per one Faculty Member, which excludes Mentors from non educational institutions.

Which of the following would be counted as a faculty member?
Since UREP is mainly a grant specific to introducing the undergraduates to the research culture, a large educational component is involved in the mentoring and supervision of the student. Three of the evaluation criteria of the proposal revolve around this point.Hence, it is essential that the faculty member be in close proximity to the students.UREP allows for mentors at other research institutions in Qatar, such as Hamad Medical Corp, government research centers, private sector research lab, etc.. to be supported mentors for UREP proposals, mainly because of their proximity as indicated above
