Athreya, head of Engineers for a Sustainable World, “helping theimpoverished have a better life can, for students, be a life-changing experience.”12We will continue to support these types of programs and consider them to be just as valuable—perhaps more so—than traditional study abroad programs.SummaryIn this paper we have described our efforts in developing study abroad programs over the pasttwo years. We began by studying exemplary programs of others. For the 2006/2007 school year,we sponsored seven programs of various format types. We discussed the strengths andweaknesses

The wetlands and complex ecosystems that interceptand filter pollution have also decreased by more than one-half in the lower 48 states.7During the 1970’s, the United States Congress encountered problems of protecting thewaterways and drinking water, so they superseded the veto that President Nixon had placed onthe Clean Water Act.8 The Clean Water Act was very effective and drastically reduced theamount of pollution in waterways which were once unsafe. Estimates in 1972 were that 60-70%of waterways were unsafe, and that figure was reduced to about 39% in 2002.6The nature of environmental

choice questions, wereavoided. The main intention was to entice engineering students to analytically solve engineeringproblems from scratch in a regular, classic way, i.e. by typically partitioning the problem intophases or threads and solving each phase sequentially until reaching the final answer(s). Anadditional motivation for this objective was the desire to offer engineering students the chance togain partial credits if they manage to solve parts of the problem. In Blackboard, one questiontype that appears to suit this multi-thread partitioning is called “Fill in Multiple Blanks” questiontype. However, unlike the “Calculated Numeric” type of questions (also available onBlackboard), the Fill in Multiple Blanks type of questions does not

The AUN-QA criteriahave a much broader focus on quality improvement, asking programs to use a wide variety ofinputs within their quality system. Some of the measures of quality included in the AUN-QAcriteria include traditional output measures, e.g., Criterion 10’s

Upon the officialapproval by the Ministry of Education of China, the institute was publically launched in April2006 in Shanghai. Its first cohort of undergraduate students entered in September 2006.

For those learning objectives not met, the students describedhow their experiences fell short of enabling a meeting of the objective.

In this view, the level of quality is determined by the extent to which aproduct or service meets its stated purpose(s) or requirement(s). Due to a lack of consensusamong different stakeholders and/or customers, it is challenging to articulate the purpose ofhigher education. The objective of higher education may be instruction in skills, promotion of thegeneral powers of the mind, advancement of learning, and transmission of a common culture andstandard of citizenship [6]. The above list is not exhaustive as the objective of higher educationmay also include developing critical thinking abilities, creativity, gainful employment, thediscovery of knowledge, and social
