. Those who are dedicated toimproving the situation in their native countries often return home after graduate studyabroad, and take teaching position at local universities. They are then often beset by amultitude of problems – inadequate salaries, forcing them to have an additional job whichdetracts from their university effectiveness; lack of financial resources for teaching andresearch laboratory equipment, and for publications that could keep them abreast ofdevelopments in their technical and professional fields; and lack of funds for travel toconferences that could keep them technically and professionally up to date.

A more limited ILAPsdevelopment – for example, between champions in just two departments – could perhapsovercome many of these logistical problems and provide a better "sense of ownership" to theprojects.In this project, miscommunications and different interpretations of what was acceptable werecommon. One major issue was related to "how applied" an ILAP should be. ILAPs that weredesigned to include hands-on applications could not be implemented efficiently into the largercalculus classes, and availability of "unique" instrumentation and laboratory space was always anissue for the other STEM courses.
