Itwas designed around 4-5 projects with lectures and laboratory demonstrations performed by theinstructors (from both sides) to provide necessary background materials for students to carry onsuccessfully with their chosen projects. The major difficulties were the differences in the startdate and duration of the respective courses at each university and prevented our attempt tosynchronize student progress and interaction. The "technical" issues turned out to be easilysolved by each side using similar hardware and software. The instructional materials were sharedvia classroom capture and webcasting

To promote a more widespread implementation across the departments inour program we sought to bring about changes at a broader curricular level and to introduce thesepedagogies into regular classroom practice. Research has shown that for young adults, such thedesired skills and dispositions are best learned through experiential approaches (Cohen, 1996;Kolb, 1984). 20, 21 We therefore have begun to implement them in a variety of ways as part of anoverarching comprehensive approach to developing in students the needed academic andprofessional skills, and technical know-how, through exposure to what it means to be anengineer.Implementing

Its mainaxis is concerned with the modeling of biological, physical or chemical phenomena.Recent research has shown the need to change the way to teach DE, from the “traditional” way,which emphasizes analytical methods, to an integrative mode, which uses graphical andnumerical methods. This integrative mode should enable students to identify and recognize a DEin its different representations; and thus, improve the learning of DEs as mathematical objects.The student should not only learn how to use techniques to solve DEs but also learn theapplication of the DE as a tool to model several problems. This is also strengthened through
