workwith students at the Universidad Nacional de Ingenieria (UNI), the national engineering universityof Nicaragua. Projects have included the design of biomedical devices, an Internet link to a remoteschool, and a solar charge controller. Teams of students comprising students from each universityhave been working on their project designs and developing prototypes of their technologies. Inrunning these joint projects, a number of issues have arisen. These include different calendars at thetwo universities, some language barriers, communication difficulties because of unreliable internetaccess in Nicaragua, and the differing expectations from the two sets of students. In this paper wewill describe some of the challenges that we have faced and how
