The expected outcome is anassembly of the structure that can be viewed from both the inside and outside. The “top-down” approach,which divides a completed monument into multiple stages, is useful for defining the overall plan of thestructure, but presents a risk of large amounts of data slowing down the simulation process. In contrast, the“bottom-up” approach, which creates the structure in a piecewise fashion, may

Internationaleducators may be well aware of the need for the programs, but if they do not fit institutionalcommon sense, they may never be embraced. The second difficulty stems from the practicalsituation of returnees: they move on to other activities, like summer jobs or new classes, andtheir concern shifts to what is newly facing them. Engineers especially have tight schedules, andsomething like reflection on a trip that is already completed (and for which they have alreadyearned credit) can seem unimportant. Third, just as education abroad is often a self-containedexperience for the students, so it is for the institution. Once
