A vast majority, (87%) in both groups, reported thatthey had support of their dean, chair or supervisor, shown in in Table 1 - Question 1.

The data gathered from thestudent population was evaluated using descriptive statistics as well as content analysis. Theinstrument provides an indication of how the student perception changes for both individuals andthe aggregate population experiencing the material provided during the trip.Overall the engineering technology students learned more about other ways of life and wereencouraged by their peers to become more open minded. Their observations proved that theapproach to renewable energy in Germany and Europe as a whole is very different from the UnitedStates or other countries, such as India. The

Page 15.186.2process.At Western Michigan University (WMU) there is the requirement that all CEAS’s undergraduategraduating students must complete a Senior Design Project in a two-semester sequence. Projectsare presented by faculty members in the College, and students indicate their preferences.Subsequently, teams are formed, with the number of students in each team being decided by thetechnical advisor(s), the course coordinator, and any sponsor(s) in function of the expectationsfor the project. Most of the teams have three students, and students’ preferences have shifted inthe past years from having more interest on internal projects (i.e., no industry involvement) tohaving projects where an industry sponsor is involved. Among the many
