Page 26.945.3IntroductionBentley and Kyvik, 2012 found in their studies that faculty members spend more than 50hours of their time every week on the job, out of which only 20 hours are spent doing theactual teaching. Depending on the faculty status, either Tenure-Track or Tenured, or even asa function of the nature of the institution in which one find himself/herself, research orientedor purely teaching institutions as the case may be, these hours can be much higher (Bentley,P.J., and S. Kyvik, S.).It would be needed to inculcate time-efficient teaching practices into these new courses fromhere-on in order to give the students the best and facilitate their learning in

project proposals and the specific subsystem(s) or tasks that need help fromDeVry Brazil team are prepared by DeVry US team and presented to our partner at DeVryBrazil. Then, a search is initiated to find qualified advisors and EE students who are interestedin joining the team to develop the project. This process may take one to two months. Typically,the teams consist of 3-4 students, including one project manager, at the DeVry US campus and 2-3 students at the DeVry Brazil campus; the number of students will vary depending on thecomplexity of the project. In addition, each site has a faculty advisor and a project coordinator.The student project manager responsibilities includes coordinating the project teams (includingthe remote team(s
