offered during the summer 2015 OIP. Thedeadline for new course approvals was the middle of Semester 2 and there were concerns thatit would be difficult to justify awarding 10 credits (100 hours of learning of which about aquarter are contact hours for lectures, laboratory exercises, other structured learningactivities, and assessment of student learning) for a course that was only two-weeks in length.Thus, the group came to a rapid agreement that most, if not all, of the cultural and industrialvisits had to contribute to the course aims in order to achieve the expected amount of studentlearning in a 10 credit course. Thus, the course objectives had to be outlined before the sitesfor the trips could be identified.Aims of the OIPThe academic

designed to continue the development of general research skills such as, 1)connecting coursework material to laboratory results, 2) literature review, 3) research reportwriting, and 4) data analysis. The three areas of ISR program focus are, 1) research, 2) culture,and 3) language. The model starts by creating relationships at an international university. Fromthe initial relationships started we started to develop three components of the program. Theresearch projects consisted of environmental monitoring to the current university led socialprograms in the community. The Cartagena, Colombia ISR program used a cross-culturalapproach to accomplish language exchange. This consisted of pairing a Colombian Spanishspeaking student to an English speaking

teaching and learning for engineering faculty. In his research Dominik May focuses, inter alia, on future requirements for science and engineering graduates, such as interna- tional competence, in order to become successful engineers in a globalized professional world. Therefore he designs and investigates respective educational strategies with a special focus on online solutions and the integration of remote laboratories. For his research and the development of several transnational on- line courses he benefits from his working experience in international companies and a broad international professional network. Furthermore Dominik May is founding member of both the Engineering Education Research Group at the Center

Nakatani RIES: Research and InternationalExperiences for Students Program [19].NanoJapan recruited high-potential freshman and sophomore physics and engineeringundergraduates. Before beginning their research internships, students completed a three-week orientation program in Tokyo that combined 45 hours of Japanese languageinstruction, an orientation to Japanese life and culture, and a series of introductoryseminars on solid state physics, quantum mechanics, and nanoscience. During the eight-week research internship period, each NanoJapan student was integrated into an existingPIRE international research project in a Japanese partner’s laboratory. Students were co-advised by their Japanese host professor and a U.S.-based PIRE professor and

Learning resources such as libraries, laboratories and IT facilities with of course fast Internet connections will have huge impact on improving the quality of engineering education. d. The expansion of the education system should carefully planned in such a way as not to compromise the quality of education. 5.1.

education systems, other ASEAN countries struggle to adequately fundhigher education. Any accreditation process will incur both fixed (those costs not controlled bythe institution, e.g., accreditation fees paid to the accrediting body) and variable costs (thosecosts controlled by the institution, e.g., consultants or internal costs of the accreditation team’sefforts or laboratory improvements). ASEAN institutions often face significant costs in bothareas as a culture of accreditation often is not present. There are relatively few programsaccredited by either ABET or AUN within the ASEAN system, so many do not have experiencewith the costs of either system. However, the less common ABET accreditation is widelyperceived as much more expensive. This

an A-Level is achieved in different parts of the UK. The Fulbright Commission points this out, sayingof admissions considerations, “The most competitive universities will expect to see three A-Levels or their equivalent. This could include a minimum of three Scottish Highers, A-Levelsalongside the Welsh Baccalaureate, the IB.”2In order for this mechanism to be meaningful, there must be consistency in the teaching of, andawarding of, A-Levels across the schools of the UK. Consistency is supposed to be controlledby the OFfice of STandards in EDucation (OFSTED).3 OFSTED inspects and assesses publicschools. They generally give a school a 24 hour notice before descending on the facility andinvading its classrooms, laboratories, and offices. Such

the results are those of the group (and for the group). Keeping track of the contribution and knowledge gained by each member could be monitored, as well, by either testing each and every student in the group, or by randomly selecting a group member (or members) to be tested and thus proxy for the group.  Sharing known skills- Students who possess certain knowledge or skills (examples: computer skills, laboratory skills, data reduction skills, presentation skills) should be willing to pass it on, and/or share it with their group members.  Collaborative Skills- Groups cannot function effectively if members do not have (be willing to learn) or use some
