They can chargecustomers a small fee, thereby making Mashavu economically sustainable and creating anadditional revenue stream.12The Mashavu team aims to: 1. Design, prototype and test inexpensive computer-based biomedical devices (Mashavu station) and the networked system (Mashavu network). 2. Perform preliminary on-the-ground testing of the Mashavu stations, Mashavu network and the business plan. 3.

is sensing (S)versus intuitive (N) type (12).The sensing person prefers a straightforward, logical, step-by-step approach to learning. The sensing person, often learns by solving problems, andtends to find theory difficult. The intuitive individual, on the other hand, will skip stepsand follow hunches. He/she learns from theory and tends to do a minimal number ofproblems because they think they understand without having to solve problems (13).Perry’s Model of College Student Development (14) can also be used to monitor studentlearning. According to this model, which consists of nine positions (i.e., stages),occupying four general outlooks; people progress from positions 1 and 2, (dualistic),right versus wrong orientations to multiplicity

Because the duration of each student’s timeabroad is roughly one and a half semesters, consisting of one academic semester and part of thesemester break(s), German and American students overlap at both universities. This interactionoccurs both in the classroom and in the laboratory, and facilitates continuity in the researchprojects.The students and faculty have enjoyed early success with this arrangement.

ConclusionsThe education system was heavily misused between late 1980’s until 2003. As educationalvalues evaporated from the institutions, most of the appointments of the chancellors and deansand the promotions of academics from lower to higher ranks were based on political affiliationrather than academic excellence. Therefore, the quality of education has gradually degraded, andconsequently, the knowledge and skills of university graduates have deteriorated significantly,affecting all sectors in the country.To establish a viable

Advisor Views Project Team Development and OrganizationAs noted for the Tibetian project, the Tufts student chapter of EWB is strongly controlled bystudents who assume the leadership role in project development, design, implementation andfunding. This project had an expansive team of 30 students involved in its development andorganization. Advisors are kept abreast of the team efforts but by no means are team leader andcoordinator. This could be problematic since it requires a strong student leader(s) to keep theteam focused and on schedule. As the travel date got closer, many of the final details, thoughcompleted, were rushed. Therefore, better time management and project schedule is required.Another area of concern was communication with
