Since 1983, more than 1400 studentshave been placed in internships in laboratories and offices with partner companies26.Georgia Tech has had its own facility in France since 1990. They have also recently announcedan “International Plan” where students from any discipline spend two terms abroad and takecourses in international relations and cultural issues. A capstone course is then completed inwhich their international skills are implemented27. Michigan has a similar program in GlobalEngineering that involves completing 24 credit hours of course work along with a study abroad

It takes more than technical skills to differentiate a mediocreemployee from an outstanding one. Soft skills complement hard skills and broader soft skillssuch as critical thinking and communication create commitment and reduce uncertainty [24].Burrell, et al.

peers in order to be more conscience of food choices in adequate amounts and be aware of food waste. One of the goals for the FoodSlowers team is to place doggie bags at different points around their campus to make sure that students don’t waste food. The team’s intention is to eliminate food waste. The team also plans to have left over food in the cafeteria sent to animal shelters to feed homeless animals. In addition, the team is holding several cooking classes on campus with a dietitian who will teach the community how to eat consciously. The team is having a farmers market on campus and selling items like jam to provide funding for the doggie bags. In addition, the team

. Technical competence has previously been defined as a high level ofmotivation, use of intelligence to solve problems and make decisions, teamwork, managementand leadership of others, communication, planning and management of a project and resources,innovation, and a strategic view of the larger picture of the project1,2. These competencies, alongwith technical knowledge and experience, have been linked to future professional experience andbetter final design projects2,3.To meet these requirements involving project work, higher education institutions have twolearning approaches, problem based learning (PBL) and project oriented learning (POL).

exposed students to more than just "how" to design, it showed them"why."The final days of the workshop coincided with the 4th Annual HKUST One Million DollarEntrepreneurship Competition. While it was not initially planned, the students' attendance at thecompetition proved to be serendipitous, as they were able to immediately apply the designlessons they learned in the workshop to the contestants’ already implemented designs. Forexample, one module of the Design Workshop was about feasibility analysis while generating alist of potential solutions. In this activity, students were taught how to use dimensional analysis,the laws of thermodynamics, and proper prior art searches to determine if an idea was viableunder technological, economical, and

integration skills right along. Students learn better, and teaching becomes moreeffective when the technology is planned right into the lessons. To train engineers of the future,faculty members need to be technology advocates.In the developing world, there are many reasons for the lack of deeper knowledge of technologyintegration by faculty members. These include but are not limited by teacher apathy, budgetlimitations, lack of leadership, and lack of availability of training. Teachers’ knowledge of theengineering software application is limited, which consequently limits the meaningful learningexperience in the classroom. This process needs direction and support and must be acollaborative effort using the combined knowledge base of the faculty

faculty advisor whenever necessary to discuss class scheduling plans, currentacademic issues, or other matters of concern.However, it is left to the student to request an appointment with her/his faculty advisor,and most do not. This situation is similar to the SLCC, where it is up to the students toask their instructor about the possible impact of the new environment on theirperformance. From our previous discussions, it is clear that many students facesignificant adjustment challenges, and it may be necessary to utilize all possible methodsof preparation much more carefully. In the case of international student transfer, in mostcountries, students are at least told about these academic challenges in their final year,and methods for coping are

Under the technical portion, the topics and level of materials were deemedvery good but the students were not as positive about time for discussion. This wasclearly stated in their written comments that more time should be allowed for discussionwith their foreign participants. We have noted this for planning of future courses butalso see this as a positive point in that the students were eager to learn more from theirglobal

The university core curriculum now requires every student to take atleast one three-hour global studies course in fulfilling degree requirements. The Department ofEngineering has embraced this activity and is working to incorporate global issues into coursesthat span the typical four-year course plan.

Incontrast, most of the identified reports were planning documents for a single center or casestudies/descriptions of a single center’s activity.Recommendations The primary recommendation advanced by the researchers is that more attention be paidto establish centers that focus on the process of innovation.

Other ways to make the project go more smoothly includeto break the assignments into smaller parts to encourage better planning and to give moreinstruction for the communication so that both sides better understand what to expect from theirinternational collaborators. This further instruction can also decrease the amount of workrequired by the students for writing their memos if they can better focus their communication.The students can also be encouraged to reuse or refer to figures from their specific assignment inorder to decrease the repetition of work.

And evaluate whether these responses can used in Gaza’ (UofG student); ‘In thisproject, I learn to choose the best solution for a problem, catching the context and filteringthe nonsense plans at the same time’ (UofG student).
