Paper ID #27514The Impact of Participation in Multiple International Learning Experiencesfor Engineering StudentsJiabin Zhu, Shanghai Jiao Tong University Jiabin Zhu is an Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Education at Shanghai Jiao Tong Uni- versity. Her primary research interests relate to the assessment of teaching and learning in engineering, cognitive development of graduate and undergraduate students, and global engineering. She received her Ph.D. from the School of Engineering Education, Purdue University in 2013.Miss Yaxin Huang, Shanghai Jiao Tong University Yaxin Huang received a Bachelor’s degree in
facilities design to research that applied engineering and molecular biology approaches to the study of the skeletal response to mechanical loading. As a Mechanical Engineer, she worked on facility design projects involving mechanical systems that included heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and energy conservation systems, as well as R&D of air conditioning equipment for Navy ships. Additional research interests have included the investigation of relationships among components of the indoor environment, occupants, and energy usage. Specifically, the effects of the indoor environment on occupant health and well-being and in parallel, how socially-mediated energy-saving strategies can increase awareness of energy use
, graduate students, post-docs, and young researchers [13]. The focus of these schools is typically on education on thelatest technology rather than projects.The project described in this paper is a university-industry-government collaboration in China.The partners worked together to offer a summer school as an alternative to an internship forundergraduate and graduate engineering students throughout China. The summer schoolincludes education as well as practical experience with current FPGA technology. Thisinnovative partnership can serve as a model for other programs with similar aims.Context of ChinaTo better prepare students for the fourth industrial revolution including big data, cloudcomputing, and intelligent manufacturing, the Chinese

He teaches advanced aircraft materials and processes and advanced manufacturing and design process courses. His research focus is in immersive learning, problem- and project-based learning, international engineering education, globalization, lean Six Sigma. He worked previously in industry as a Design, Product, and Project Engineer. He has undergraduate and graduate degrees in Me- chanical Engineering from South Ural State University (formerly Chelyabinsk Polytechnic Institute) in Russia and a PhD in Engineering Education from
30 years. He has been the six-time elected as the Program Chair of the ASEE International Division for approximately the past 15 years. Three times as the Program Chair for the Graduate Studies Division of ASEE. Nick has had a major role in development and expansion of the ID division. Under his term as the International Division Program Chair the international division expanded, broadened in topics, and the number of sessions increased from a few technical sessions to over eighteen sessions in the recent years. The ASEE International Division by votes, has recognized Nick’s years of service through several awards over the past years. Nick has been the recipient of multiple Service awards (examples: 2013, 2010
: Do language attitudes represent a factor in the low enrollments in Spanish and other FL courses at UNV? In addition to that question, this pilot research has two objectives: (1) to obtain preliminary insights from the data, and (2) use these insights to improve the initial questionnaire created for this study. Methodology Instrument To design the questionnaire, four dimensions (or constructs) were chosen as basic building blocks: (1) attitudes toward learning Spanish and other L2; (2) instrumental orientation toward Spanish and other L2; (3) integrative orientation toward U.S. Hispanics and Latin American countries; (4) attitudes toward global experiences, at the international level –like studying
].For the first time the academic credits are the unit of measurement of academic work to expressall the activities that are part of the curriculum that must be met by students. An academic creditis defined as a 48-hour academic work that includes the hours with direct accompaniment of theprofessor and the hours of independent work that the student must dedicate to the realization ofstudy activities, practices or other tasks that are necessary to achieve the learning goals.Although this law was designed for facilitating the national and international mobility of studentsand graduates, and curricular flexibility, among other aspects, also the academic activitiesassociated with research training that may be developed in contents or options of

considering many target groups to collect different pointsof views and is innovative in as much as results will speed up and improve the way we conceiveinternationalization of engineering education, improve student training, enhance employabilityand, ultimately, help build a better world. The impact will be considered at different levels:At the local level: ● Promotes student mobility ● Promotes active learning and practices of global competence ● Prepares students better for international experience ● Facilitates the design of embedded mobility curricula ● Facilitates and accelerate HEIs work towards comprehensive internationalization ● Assesses the quality of international experience and training
