Tsinghua University is one ofthe top ranked universities in China and widely regarded as the best in the field of engineering.The two-way program started in 2010 with receipt of a seed grant from Purdue’s InternationalPrograms. Students from the two partner institutions form cross-cultural teams that undertakeinterdisciplinary research projects for a period of ten weeks. This paper describes the twoprojects offered during the summer of 2014, which were focused on big data and analytics inbiomedicine. The projects’ interdisciplinary spirit is justified and strengthened by theparticipation of faculty advisors from Purdue’s Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering andTsinghua’s Department of Automation.The dual exchange program is structured

The team-based structure also best allows the transfer of ideas andperspectives among the students. To accomplish this, the summer design experience wasconstructed as a program made up of multidisciplinary teams not only based on educationaldiversity but also including cultural and gender diversity. The instructional staff for the summerprojects selected a broad program theme, but individual teams were given the freedom to pursuea project topic of interest within that theme. For the 2014 program, the theme was visible light(wavelength) communication systems (VLC). Within this theme, the

Findings suggest that students develop agreater appreciation for language differences, see a connectedness between their engineeringwork and societal impacts, and draw connections more readily between theories presented inclass and practical applications on site. Not surprisingly, our findings also suggest that studentsare more likely to participate in a study abroad program when their class schedules are notadversely affected and when the topic relates to their major discipline.IntroductionStudying abroad at the post-secondary level is frequently advocated for because of the manypotential benefits to student learning1,2,3,4.

This paper describes progress in a cross-sectional, longitudinal study to examine the impact that a College of Engineering at a large, mid-Atlantic public institution has on students’ global readiness and related constructs. Data werecollected from first-year and senior undergraduate engineering students for two years (2012-2013and 2013-2014). Research questions examined: 1) previous international experiences of incomingstudents, 2) international experiences that undergraduates have during their academic careers, 3)students’ perceived value of global readiness, 4) activities students perceive to be

The Chineseeducators are actively aligning their teaching styles, course materials and utilization of availableresources with the popular practices in the western countries (such as the US). The authors of thepaper piloted a graduate course, Advanced Manufacturing Systems, in spring 2014 at YangzhouUniversity in China. An American classroom environment was simulated in this course. It wastaught in English and covered a wide range of up-to-date manufacturing topics. It was alsoproject-based and involved large amounts of in-class discussions. The student feedback wasexciting.
