Our data indicates that participation in the programcontributes to: • Better understanding about the academic requirements that are unique to the College of Engineering. Participants indicate that before participation in the DPO-SP they were not aware of the academic requirements to be admitted to the College of Engineering. • Participants learning to work using structured schedules that allow for balance between studies and social life.

Hence, an education that is shaped withphilosophy based on global approaches and ethics, rather than a single worldview, isnecessary for a genuinely intercultural electronic global village, to produce self-capable,self-determined, competent learners.

Creatingvalue is the primary objective of most design projects or ventures; therefore it takes “centerstage” on the IC. The “value proposition” is a statement that describes how something of valueis provided to customers/stakeholders (i.e. describing the need that the proposed solution is goingto meet) and is often a primary measure of success. It should be noted that the concept of valuehas a very broad meaning and includes financial, societal, cultural, environmental, sustainability,and ethical valuations. The Value component of the IC is critical for design students as it putstheir work in perspective – they

learning through fixed amounts of lab time in social interaction with staff and lab partners. There was not the development budget nor the inclination to use autograding as a kind of “intelligent personal tutor15,16” whereby a student works many hours being guided through programmed instruction until mastery of a skill is detected. Nevertheless, it was easy to come up with questions that would require far more time than the students thought they had for the course. In conventional instruction limiting the assigned work is also a way to avoid overloading the amount of grading effort for the staff, but with autograding this is not the case. The “retry until success” work ethic also may require more time than
