enhancing the understanding ofbiomass conversion technology and meeting the challenges of implementation in a developingnation. This project focuses on a global problem, energy demand, and utilizes an existingcollaboration to develop a miniaturized hands-on learning module for implementation in theclassroom and train future engineers from both sites while exposing them to internationalcollaborations to develop their problem-solving skills. The module is being designed toovercome process implementation barriers in resource limited environments like Nigeria.Discussions for writing and submitting the USAID-PEER proposal that supports this work wereinitiated by Washington State University (WSU) with Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) in Zaria,Nigeria, and

planned. During the year the students also perform different fundraisingactivities and assist their faculty advisor with grant writing to support the trip expenses includingsupplies and maintenance of equipment. Since their formation the faculty-ESW-students haveraised more than $80K from federal and private foundations as well as support from individuals.Selection criteria for the team that will be going to Guatemala, are based on contributions to thestudents’ organizations, participation, as well as professional and personal skills. Spanish IEPstudents are highly valued amongst their ESW peers, because their language skills are essentialfor the educational activities that are simultaneously performed alongside the engineering work,and because

fields 3. Weexamine “active learning” in this study by applying Chi’s ICAP framework4,5. This frameworkmakes a hierarchical distinction between levels of “active learning”: 1) Passive consumption ofinformation as a baseline, 2) Active learning, which involves manipulating instructionalmaterials or content (e.g., pausing and playing a video) and therefore demands focused attention(e.g., recording pause/play click behavior or recording eye-tracking in videos), 3) Constructive Page 19.23.2learning activities, which require users to generate content (e.g., writing on a blog, responding toan appropriately-vague hint), thereby requiring knowledge

3 4 In order to develop leadership skills, technical skills and other essential soft skills requestedby industry, the program requires that the students attend a team building week during the summer,go to weekly workouts, develop and join leadership workshops, read leadership books, write bookreports, practice giving presentations, participate in a summer internship, take extra classesimportant to an engineering curriculum and maintain a 3.0 GPA. The results of all those activitiesare recorded and analyzed using a powerful tool called the Hoshin Kanri X-Matrix for strategicplanning to evaluate the success of the program and to teach
