a lessresource-intensive manner. One benefit of the collaboration is the expansion to these non-travelexperiences. For example, activities in the summer program have extended to coursecollaborations during the academic year. Senior-level (i.e., “capstone”) design teams from thethree principal universities have collaborated on projects during the academic year. These joint-projects face all the challenges of typical capstone projects with the additional logistical andcultural issues of international collaboration. They are an excellent opportunity for our students.The institutions have also benefitted from first-hand experience with new programs. Forexample, the experiences at NUS with the development of their design-based curriculum

, political,ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainabilityIn keeping with the major design experience required in the capstone sequence EENG 489, 491,the final project report requires student teams to consider their designs within realistic constraintsand any ethical issues with regard to product safety, disposal, regulation, etc. and the outcome ofa global perspective. To foster cross-cultural interactions/global competency students are askedto consider the following questions in analyzing the societal and ethical implications of theirdesign projects: 1. What is the effect of the project on natural resources? 2. What are the raw materials this project would consume? their availability

When those studentsreturned to URI for their 5th year of studies, they often participated in a capstone design projectwhich was also sponsored by the same company for which they had interned both locally andglobally. Several of them were hired upon graduation by those companies if they did not decideto pursue a master’s degree elsewhere. Again, tying together experiential learning through ameaningful sequence of research and internships during study abroad gives the student acompetitive advantage on the job market.24Undergraduate Research Linked to a Greater CauseIt can also happen that a student’s international research project is part of a

Decision-making problem example (Adapted from Tiscareño12 for IQ407 and Doherty and Malone17 for IQ412).A final design problem was used to simultaneously assess student attainment of learningoutcomes for both courses, through the synthesis and analysis of the reaction and separationstages in a chemical plant. The final project was assigned for teamwork (groups of three to fourstudents) on the last week of the semester and students had a period of two weeks to developtheir proposal, which they presented as their final exam. The same chemical process, styreneproduction, taken from the
