exchange where students enrol and study for either one semester or an academic year at an institution located in another country. 2. International project refers to a senior-year capstone design project with the involvement of another (host) country, often including sponsors and co-workers from the host country. 3. International work placement involves work at a foreign firm for a duration that ranges anywhere from 4 months to an entire year. 4. International field trip is usually a short-duration visit (one to two weeks) to one or more foreign countries, often including visits to other universities, research laboratories, and industrial establishments (factories, plants, etc.). 5

Juniors development consist of adopting thevalues of the program, developing the ability to lead themselves and leading short durationprojects. Some of the projects led by the Juniors are: community clean-ups, raffle project for thecollege laboratories, American Red Cross blood drive, women’s center projects, science centerprojects, city park tree planting and many others. Also, Juniors are required to develop importanthabits for industry, such as arriving early for the meetings, knowing how to give a properhandshake, facilitating a social conversation, active participation in meetings and conferences,holding themselves accountable and demonstrating excellence in all

Page 19.22.2The importance of a transferrable innovative learning system model that is focused on aninclusive, integrative, experiential, and dynamic STEM undergraduate degree training is greatlywarranted. Studies have demonstrated that learning is a lifetime process that supports a student’sacquisition of knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviors towards success not just while employed(Gardner, 1994; Fink 2003). One way to address this learning process is through experientiallearning, which provides concrete experiences (i.e., laboratories, field works, problem sets),reflecting
