Particularly, professional skills such as communication and cultural andglobal adaptability enable future professionals to work on transnational teams.Working effectively with multicultural teams is becoming more relevant. While it is clear thatengineering and construction education has made some change to preparing future professionalsfor working in these complex teams, much more progress toward preparing students as holisticprofessionals is needed [4] to work in an increasingly globalized economies. Students must betaught in such a way that develops not just technical skills, such as math, but also professionalskills, such as creativity and reflection.

One of the founding faculty at Olin College, Dr. Zastavker has been engaged in development and implementation of project-based experiences in fields ranging from sci- ence to engineering and design to social sciences (e.g., Critical Reflective Writing; Teaching and Learning in Undergraduate Science and Engineering, etc.) All of these activities share a common goal of creating curricular and pedagogical structures as well as academic cultures that facilitate students’ interests, moti- vation, and desire to persist in engineering.

proposed tobe widely adopted in engineering education because prior research have suggested its effectivenessin improving students’ problem-solving skills, collaboration skills, and academic achievement [1].By converting lecture-based courses into a project-based learning environment, students learn tocollaboratively solve multidisciplinary, complex problems.Moreover, it has been reported that students’ participation in PBL activities could be beneficial fortheir epistemological development [2]. Personal epistemology refers to students’ reflections on “thelimits of knowledge”, “the certainty of knowledge”, and the “criteria for knowing” [3].

Here we describe the adaptation ofan inexpensive (∼$100) desktop laser engraver and a low-cost CCD camera for 2-D profiling ofsolar cells based on light-beam induced current, spectral response, surface roughness topography,grain structure and texture, and reflectivity.

This model depicts an idealized, cyclical relationship between research andpractice: a scenario in which practical issues drive research questions and research insightsinfluence what happens in practice. Unfortunately, this is rarely what happens in reality—mostof what happens in practice is not informed by research, nor is it properly assessed for accuracyof meeting objectives [3].
