For security reasons [18, 19], the application can limitaccess to a certain area (using IP addresses) or a specific city, but for testing purposes, the teamdecided to rely on the encryption of the username and password given to users and storedsecurely in the cloud database [20].The team considered differences between the US-energy power and the target AC units’ physicalspecifications.

1AbstractAs society addresses the major challenges associated with food, water, energy and climatechange there is an increasing need for engineers that are interdisciplinary and globallycompetent. The Master’s International Program (MIP) at the University of South Florida is agraduate partnership with the U.S. Peace Corps that provides over two years of supervisedprofessional service and international research experiences that include specialized training inlanguage, culture, participatory planning, and sustainable development. The students gain aglobal perspective while performing research in an international context of economic, social, andenvironmental limitations.

Due to the inherent nature of the presenceof a number of variables and possible varied levels of their existence involved in bio-basedmanufacturing, quality techniques such as the design of experiments and Taguchi studies [75]become highly relevant for process innovation and improvement. Knowledge in these and otherbasic quality principles is a prerequisite in most engineering and technology degree programs, soextending these concepts to include bio-based manufacturing can be accomplished with relativeease.Management/business concepts such as strategic project planning, project scheduling, andproject management are indispensable in the operation of successful

Most studies believe that the apparentfinancial barrier is more of a misinformation barrier. There is often more financial aid availablethan most students are aware and this combined with the possibility that students tend tooverestimate the cost of study abroad in their minds [7].B. Socio-Economic BackgroundWhile the financial barrier is probably over-cited and blown out of proportion, it is important tonote that lower income students are less likely to plan to study abroad than higher
