project proposals and the specific subsystem(s) or tasks that need help fromDeVry Brazil team are prepared by DeVry US team and presented to our partner at DeVryBrazil. Then, a search is initiated to find qualified advisors and EE students who are interestedin joining the team to develop the project. This process may take one to two months. Typically,the teams consist of 3-4 students, including one project manager, at the DeVry US campus and 2-3 students at the DeVry Brazil campus; the number of students will vary depending on thecomplexity of the project. In addition, each site has a faculty advisor and a project coordinator.The student project manager responsibilities includes coordinating the project teams (includingthe remote team(s

In general, an advanced course inphysics or chemistry (i.e., a physics or chemistry course that is part of a physics or chemistrysequence for which a basic-level physics or chemistry course serves as a prerequisite) would notfulfill this requirement because such a course would provide additional depth rather thanadditional breadth.

much explicit, named attention has reflection received inengineering education scholarship and how do we interpret these results? To answer thisquestion, we conducted a systematic literature review of all conference publications from theAmerican Society of Engineering Education (ASEE). Our exploration sought to answer thisquestion by assessing the number of papers that explicitly mention reflection.BackgroundReflection can be described as, “...an intentional and dialectical thinking process where anindividual revisits features of an experience with which he/she is aware and uses one or morelenses in order to assign meaning(s) to the experience that can guide future action (and thusfuture experience).”4 This intentional process can be used as

The undergraduate students indicated in QuestionU2 that this topic is vital to their careers; therefore additional lectures on this topic will notadversely affect their education. If additional student led lectures on one PMS package isrequired, corresponding additional, professor led, PMS package lectures will also be added.Lastly, the authors feel that a pre lecture questionnaire could be added to this study so that acomparison can be made of the student response before and after the intervention.References 1.
