10 to 15 years there have also been significant amounts of resources spent in theUS in innovating engineering curricula (the most prominent initiatives being the mid 90’s NSF-funded Engineering Coalitions; for example: www.gatewaycoalition.com; www.synthesis.org ;www.succeed.ufl.edu) . These have focused primarily on innovating the engineering curricula,integrating assessment, using complementary technology and implementing new learningstrategies. One of the authors of this paper - together with colleagues from Penn State University,the University of Washington and Sandia National Labs - also participated in a somewhatsmaller but successful partnership called the Learning Factory, which received the US NAEGordon Prize in 2006 for innovation

better understanding of the professional culture not only in a Spanish company, but also in a pharmaceutical company. I believe that being able to speak with my co-workers about my job made me feel very professional and they were surprised to find out that my Spanish was better than what they expected. Being able to communicate in the language makes one feel more comfortable. (SPA6_A7) Beyond leveraging their advanced and specialized technical foreign language skills tointegrate into the workplace, IEP students additionally pick up and adapt to the non-verbalcommunications skills they observe in the local culture as GER 22_A2’s observation shows: herespectfully adapted his own way of doing things to fit in with

2017-2018. Similar to this, during the 2009 - 2010 Swine Flu Pandemic,U,S, study abroad to Mexico and Central America went from over 20,000 students abroad (priorto 2009), to roughly 17,000 in 2009-2012, to close to 25,000 in 2015/16. And while, COVID-19is unprecedented, there are some past trends that can contribute to our thinking about recoveryand provide hope for the future of student mobility.International comparative student mobility paints a similar picture. According to the IIE ProjectAtlas report, Top Host Countries throughout the world show that globally, student study abroadcontinues to rise after each major health crisis [6]. Inbound international students to top hostcountries such as China, have overall, continued to rise from

As thefirst cadre of adjuncts departed for Ohio, Kabul University’s Dean of Engineering readily filledthe vacancies with a new set of adjuncts. For the near future, adjunct requirements will continueincreasing to meet the demands of NMAA’s expanding enrollment. Kabul University haseagerly committed to fill these needs.Room for Growth As successful as it has been, there is yet room for the partnership to grow.

Finally, the team reports its findings to the CEAB which then makesan accreditation decision. It may grant (or extend) accreditation of a program for a period of upto six years or it may deny accreditation altogether.Preparation for an accreditation visit centres on the completion of the questionnaire.

(Exclude S-U Option hours.) ≠ A minimum of 2.0 on GPA is required for every student.ConclusionHere in the paper, by comparing the curriculum of civil engineering program at UF and at MSU,it is seen that though the means and methods of imparting the education is a bit different in boththe university, the final goal to produce a talented, skilful civil engineer still remains the same.There are some difference in the course curriculum and examination and grading system.

, including a strong corporate sponsor, international host university and one or more partnering US institutions. It also outlines benefits to each partner in engaging in this type of partnership, and recommendations to other institutions wanting to design a similar program. Findings from the study can be used to inform curriculum and design of future international experiences for engineering students. Partnerships between universities and industry have long been important for schools ofengineering. In the U.S., growth in university-industry partnerships began in earnest in the1980’s due in part to changes in national technology policies which sought to promotecooperative research and increase diffusion of technologies
