were several goals to achieve using this form of instruction. The first goal was todetermine if the same project could be adapted in each course, such that students complete thesame design with two different materials. The second goal was to expose students to differentstructural details within the same set of overall building plans (i.e., the details and requirementsfor concrete and steel vary) while bolstering their ability to read and interpret drawings used inthe industry. The final goal was to assess if students connected topics from previous classes (e.g.,structural analysis and statics) to the current design classes and if the project helped them retainknowledge. The project has been implemented in reinforced concrete and steel

Of primary importance throughout each program was providing the studentsone-on-one interactions with researchers in each country and allowing them to continue thoserelationships as they completed research projects back in the U.S.This paper reviews the process of establishing and developing an international research programand the key elements needed to make it successful. It then discusses the actual researchexperiences in our program, the work products developed, and the benefits realized by thestudents. The key topics discussed include program planning, logistics, program execution,assessment, and lessons

Additional goals for theproject were: to engage a broader demographic of students (specifically women andunderrepresented minorities), help students build connections between engineering and music,and encourage students to be creative.In addition to designing and building bridges, students analyzed the forces, stresses, anddeflections expected in their bridges for a given load and calculated

faculty recognizes the benefit in combining service learning activities intobeginning engineering courses, as well as capstone courses. This is done by planning a feasibleproject with a community-based organization, having both beginning and senior level engineeringstudents engage in it over a period of one to two semesters.The paper discusses an effective approach on how to integrate learning in a reverse hierarchicalmanner. It also presents measures to evaluate both successes and failures of this approach. Theprojected longevity of the approach, tackling various projects, is integrated into the study. The twoCECM faculty members also discuss the viability of transferring this approach to other universitiesand engineering colleges.INTRODUCTIONA

event was the recognition that itwas time to revisit and possibly revise the teaching model. Joyce & Weil1 suggests that “Ateaching model is a pattern or plan, which can be used to shape a curriculum or course, to selectinstruction materials, and to guide a teacher’s actions.” Within C&ME, the teaching modelserves as a “north star” by which a myriad of teaching-related decisions are made. Further, theC&ME teaching model acts as the structure upon which the Department’s annual six-week newinstructor summer workshop (ISW) is founded.The USMA utilizes a large number of officers that serve as rotating faculty members, typicallyfor three years. As a number of faculty members rotate out each year, a new group of instructorsarrive and are
