assessment model that can quantify the student learning outcomes ofmultiple faculty and department service initiatives. Currently, learning outcomes are assessedqualitatively through reading journals, blogs, and reflective essays that students are required tosubmit. Measuring the outcomes for creating successful partnerships with academia,communities, and non-government organizations is simply a quantitative measurement based onthe number of project proposals and partnerships seriously evaluated compared to the number ofproposals that resulted in a successfully completed project by the program. The overall objectiveof this paper is to share the experiences of developing a student service program in the hope thatsuch information will assist schools

In addition, each student had the opportunity to expresstheir opinion about the work accomplished individually or in collaboration with others,describe their classroom experience and emotions during interaction within the team, etc. It should be noted that the reflection was carried out after the completion of each exerciseand at the end of a class.

Future managers arecharacterized by high assertiveness and business efficiency, and future educators are veryresponsive. Students who study professional translation have a more “smooth” profile, but arecharacterized by high conformism and the least conservatism. Future lawyers havecomparatively higher negativism and are the least conforming. Thus the personality profilesof FAE students reflect the professional specifics of the chosen minors. Professors who teach at the FAE were also given a questionnaire that consisted oftwo parts: assessment of the students’ cognitive skills (analytical, systemic

Not only have researchers shown that internshipsproduce learning but Fogg and Putnam (2004) provided data indicating thatinternships often lead to higher earnings once in a professional job.Despite this evidence base, there are important limits to what we knowabout internships in engineering and the role they play in student success.Scholars who have focused on

One student did note, though, that the unstructured natureof the project “was sometimes challenging, as five voices clashed and caused a lot of tension -especially in the last few weeks”.In general terms, these evaluations reflect the experience of Chieffo and Griffiths in a study ofover 2,300 students – 93% of students that studied abroad generated unique, qualitativecomments about their program experience, while only 57% of their on-campus did so. In general,the comments of the former group were more introspective and related to personal gains, whilethe latter group commented primarily on classroom learning and logistics [26].

behind these hours is the amount ofhard work that the students undertake, the extent of learning that they gain through travelbut not by other means, and the course design that helps the students to achieve thelearning outcomes in the course syllabus effectively. Typically, a 3 credit course isoffered in a 16-week semester, but some universities may offer it in 10-week quarters. Atravel course of 10 days or 2 weeks is another point on the spectrum to compress thelearning time, by intensifying the learning through direct experiences, with the same oreven more contact hours.

GulfIntroductionSeveral studies have been done on the kinds of qualifications, knowledge and skills that the 21stcentury engineer should have. To illustrate an example of such skills reflecting the needs ofindustry, Rajala [4] defines the areas of competence necessary for a global engineeringprofessional as global competence, technical competence and professional competence.However, she points out that the attributes which are associated with each of these competencespresent a challenge for engineering educators regarding both the context in which they should beintroduced, as well as “determining what can be accomplished within the constraints of auniversity education” [4]. From an educational stance, the Accreditation Board for Engineeringand Technology (ABET

IEET is sure that through a continuous support from the Myanmargovernment and the local engineering community, this goal will be achieved sooner thanit seems.REFLECTION As IEET reflects on the past years mentoring Myanmar, the following points andissues are of significance: 1. Development of any accreditation system must consider and remain sensitive of the local education systems and needs, it is not possible and prudent to copy one system into another country without any modification. 2.

note that the 11.1% of students thatsaid that they would “do nothing” in the pre-GSF survey dropped to 0% in the post-GSF results.There was also a 13.7% increase in students who would take the initiative themselves betweenthe pre- and post-GSF results (Fig 3B & 4B). In short, GSF seems to have boosted thewillingness of students to take action in their EE.ConclusionThe GSF has developed into a well-established model for uniting a diverse group of students forthe common cause of improving EE. With approximately one decade of GSF experience behindus it is a critical point in time for us to reflect on ways to further bolster our principal event.

One of the hypotheses of our broader research agenda isthat certain fields of engineering more easily lend themselves and give rise to reflection on andawareness regarding the ethical and professional responsibilities of engineers. In the cases ofcivil and mechanical engineering, for example, the negative consequences of acting unethicallyworking on bridge and engine projects, for instance, might be more obvious than in computerengineering working on cyber security.On this basis and in conjunction with other research, our goal is ultimately to makerecommendations about how to improve engineering ethics curricula, not only in China but alsocontexts where Chinese and other non-US and Western students comprise large percentages ofstudent
