Using these comments from thestudents, improvements to the course were then made for the next time the course is taught tomake the engineers able to get more in-depth knowledge on alternative energy topics whileincorporating group research projects to help the non-engineers learn from the engineers oncertain basic topics, which will be discussed next.Improvements and Second Time TaughtRestructuring and overhauling of the course was performed before the second time the dialogueran.

American students learned that the German design method is awell defined procedure, leading to the best engineered product or process. While the Americanmethod generally tends to be more rapid to market, frequently with improvements made afterproduction begins. Then the US students toured ACHEMA 2012 in Frankfurt, Germany, as wellas numerous large industrial facilities to explore commonalities and differences between the twocountries’ industries and traditions.

They often work in teams on projects with members from different continentsand cultures.
