Student - Developed test system, designed and fabricated custom components. • 32 Course Graduate Students - Gave feedback on the course content and delivery over 2 semesters.Course ObjectivesWe wanted to establish a course that starts by teaching the fundamentals of structural modeling,but leads the students quickly and directly to the laboratory. At the graduate level this validationstep is often excluded, so students end up with the skills to build complex models, but never to setup realistic experimental conditions and accurate data acquisition systems to test these models.Our goal was to provide the educational structure to teach the integration of the two disciplines,but to also take it a step further and have the exemplar

classroomlearning experience combined with hands-on laboratory and group project activities. Theexperience of working in a close-knit team with direct access to your supervisor is difficult toemulate via distance learning. When combined with the UK education pedagogy and teachingexperience the whole joint-school experience is difficult to substitute. Consequently the threatof substitution is considered low.4. Buyer PowerBuyer power is probably the largest threat to the program and gives rise to the question “Whois the customer?” Identifying the first customer is straightforward; it is the new potentialstudent and their families who will invest in education products. The student has 3 options foreducation: the first is the domestic Chinese University sector

Laboratory at Georgia Tech. Farrokh’s current research focus is model-based realization of complex systems by managing uncertainty and complexity. The key question he is investigating is what are the principles underlying rapid and robust concept exploration when the analysis models are incomplete and possibly inaccurate? His quest for answers to the key question are anchored in three projects, namely, Integrated Realization of Robust, Resilient and Flexible Networks Integrated Realization of Engineered Materials and Products Managing Organized and Disorganized Complexity: Exploration of the Solution Space His current education focus is on creating and implementing, in partnership with industry, a curriculum for

professionalcompetencies in comparison to studying in a conventional engineering curriculum.Wei Xue7 introduced a hands-on, project-based experiential learning module into a course onmicro-and nanotechnologies for mechanical engineering students. This module was combinedwith the existing theoretical course structure and the laboratory activities were designed tointegrate textbook theoretical principles with real fabrication and characterization processes. Thishands-on experience enabled the students to obtain a better comprehension of the classroomprinciples. Based upon student feedback obtained via surveys, it was learned that theintroduction of this experiential, design-oriented module was very effective in helping studentsunderstand concepts related to micro
