partnership thatincorporates innovative use of technology, online techniques, efficient curricula and real,business challenges.The HP Institute objective is to inject business relevance and practical experience intoeducation, ensuring that graduates entering the workforce will be ready for the emerging ITenvironment. The key benefit of the HP Institute program, and accompanying HP ATA(Accredited Technical Associate) certifications, is employability. The objective is to providethe practical experience that will enable a graduate to set up a complete, end-to-end ITsolution in an SME (small to medium-sized enterprises) environment. These SMEenvironments are more and more likely to be multi-vendor inclusive which is why HPInstitute provides learning

Victor served for many years on the Executive Council of the North American Mixing Forum (NAMF), a division of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). While in that capacity, he was invited to be co-editor as well as contributing author of several chapters of the world-acclaimed ”Handbook of Industrial Mixing: Science and Practice” published in 2004 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. In support of Dow’s commitment to achieving a diverse work force, Victor co-created the award-winning Building Engineering and Science Talent (BEST) Symposium at Dow to introduce doctoral and post-doctoral

from the first round of three rounds.2.0 Literature ReviewMost contemporary research on how international experiences and education impact engineeringstudents is anecdotal; there is only emergent empirical research to guide educational practices 11.The factors cited for why engineering students’ international experiences include limitedspecifically designed engineering programs with foci on global competence, and the risk ofdelaying graduation when international experiences are included as a degree requirement. Yetthere are notable exceptions. Parkinson provides an overview of 24 exemplary programs, notingthat a few have ambitious goals to increase their number of graduates with an internationalexperience. These include Georgia Tech with a
