Facultymembers have been very supportive of accepting the international courses as electives and onedepartment is looking to revise the curriculum to create an ideal semester for the students to goabroad, should they choose to use the semester long exchange as their method of accomplishingthe international requirement. The WCOE will be working with the other engineeringdepartments and degree programs to rework their 4-year curriculum plan to identify the idealsemester(s) students should participate in a semester-long study abroad experience.6.

about pursuing studies and careers in these fields. Forthese students, “engineering” is much more than a field of study. Most (69%) view it as a sciencededicated to solving problems, creating, and building things to satisfy needs. Only 19%considered engineering specifically as a career or field of study. While we cannot infer that theirviews are driving their interest, it is interesting to notice that 81% of these students indicated thatthey like engineering and will consider studying it. Overwhelmingly, these students associatedthings or jobs done by engineers with creativity, design, planning, and problem solving toimprove human life—An engineer designs, created, plans, and improves; s/he solved problemswith computers, robots, machines; an

cultural knowledge. • A necessary key to success is selecting a proper class variety to maximize students’ eligibility to apply. Classes offered abroad should be as many as possible to maximize the supply, but of course, each class has a cost and is bound by the availability of the instructor(s). An ideal compromise is 4-5 classes, to allow willing and fully eligible students to complete a full Spring semester of face-to-face learning abroad. At the same time, some of the interested students might not be attracted to all classes, so it is imperative to broaden the supply with available online courses. This would greatly increase the eligibility, interest, and applications to the program from multiple

HIV/AIDS has almost halved the lifeexpectancy in many African countries.Classical biology, prior to the 1950’s required only a scant knowledge of chemistry, mathematicsand physics.
