intercultural opportunities. This will enable studentsand faculty to develop an entrepreneurial and international adventurous spirit to better succeed inthe new frontier of a globalized environment1.History and Evolution of Capstone CoursesIn the early 1990’s there was mounting pressure from industrial and educational leaders to makesignificant changes to the engineering curriculum to better prepare engineers for leadership whileproviding real-world experience1. This was a result of industry feeling that engineeringgraduates were inadequately prepared for the practice of engineering. Response from thesepioneers developed what has become known as capstone courses or programs. These programsbrought open ended design problems and often industrially

Page 13.535.5Design and Delivery Consideration IssuesThe following were identified/recommended for the design and delivery process.• Hybrid-based course(s) should be clearly designated and advertised as such to prevent student confusion at the time of enrollment.• Students should be informed regarding course delivery methodology and the requirements for student participation. This is particularly important from the point of view of student satisfaction, as student expectations must be molded to fit the constraints of the online-based course delivery.• Support for online delivery classes needs to be expanded
andmade 22 trips to Peru. All of these systems were designed and installed by undergraduate andgraduate students and local people, assisted by faculty and experienced volunteers.The original goals of the program were: • To advance international understanding and cooperation through collaborative development of innovative solutions that support mutual cultural and technical learning; • To explore the use of renewable energy in the Andes in ways that bring local Peruvian residents and UML students together to work in partnership; • To optimize educational experiences of students involved through the integration of service and learning, what is termed service-learning (S-L); • To promote local economic development within Peru.The program has
developing the Course Syllabus (Form 1). The course syllabus contains thecourse outcomes mapped to the program outcomes. The measure for assessment is the CourseAssessment Form (CAF) (Form 2-a) where the course objectives and outcomes are listed andmapped to the program outcomes, as shown in Figure 3. The form lists three performancemeasures: students (S), Faculty (F), and Quantitative (Q).A) Measuring Course OutcomesThe course outcomes are measured using three indices: Student Assessment, FacultyAssessment, and Quantitative Assessment.

by filling out Pre-Travel, Post-Travel, and Post-Post-Travel surveys and reflected daily project progress and events, as well ashealth and emotional wellbeing. [Note; To-date, only the Pre-Travel and Post-Travel surveyshave been administered.] The Pre- and Post-Travel surveys asked the students to rate certainabilities on a scale of 0 to 30. In additions, each student filled out a daily survey and reflected oneach day’s events. The students’ reflections represent “active response(s) to the challenges in(their) environment(s)” 24. The daily reflection allowed students to recognize and integrate theirlearning, while providing an outlet for them to release stress, discomfort and dissonance.Survey ResultsAs shown in Figure 1, comparisons of the

All participatingfaculty will be expected to complete projects based on the workshop/s attended and assess outcomes in the relevantcourses they teach during the following semester. Participants selected to be Trainers will be expected to offer at least oneworkshop in their own region (in the following Fall semester or Spring semester). All participants will be expected to conductone workshop in their region for attracting high quality students to enter the teaching profession. A report on the outcomes ofthese workshops will be expected by IUCEE, in
, they were socialized in the elitism of engineering.Participants experienced a shift in their student experiences and their relationships withprofessors because of their perseverance. Upper class students felt recognized by their professors,and the participants agreed that the professors perceived them as capable, good students, andresponsible. This change in perception gave confidence to students, as they explained: …as I entered directly to the major [upper class], that is to move from the Annex to the Principal [building], it was different, the professors recognized that we [women] were good students --it was a change in mentality (Georgina).

Although rudimentary, the first landfills were simple piles ofwaste with layers of earth piled on top to remove odor from the air.11 This stands in stark contrastto the high-tech waste facilities within the modern societies of the world. During the 1800’s, areport in England linked disease to environmentally unsanitary conditions. Meanwhile, in newlyurbanized

desirable. For example, students, who would otherwise become businessmajors due to an inherent need to manage and lead, can now visualize engineering ortechnology as alternative gateway to their career destinations. The number oftechnologists can also be enhanced by creating student-centered transfer opportunities ofA.A.S. degree holders and Certificate holders.References:1. N. L.

statement as compared to the competencies statement. Learning objectives will be in the same format and meet the same criteria as competencies, but should be at the same or, more likely, a lower level. Learning objectives reflect what learners must do in an educational setting to achieve a specific related competency. They tell learners what supporting skills, knowledge, and attitudes they will learn; begin with an action verb; and they are measurable and observable13.E. Key: In this field, the competencies are identified by a key. K is used for Knowledge, S is used of skills, G is used for Global and A is used for attitude and behavior

Early engineering programs range from start dates of the 1960’s in Saudi Arabia tothe mid 1980’s in Oman. The need for quality programs is especially relevant to the aviation andaerospace industries. To meet this need, a new locally owned and based new university hasbegun operations in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This new 4-year baccalaureate and master’sdegree institution emphasizes aviation and aerospace in its degree offerings. This institution waslicensed and accredited by the UAE Commission for Academic Accreditation, and beganoperations in 2007. Programs being
