collaborative or team work. Students rarely challenge the integrity ofinstruction by the instructors leading to the lack of interactive relations vital to creativity andinnovation. The curriculum is highly structured and there is little room to take liberal arts orinterdisciplinary courses to broaden their education. Not enough emphasis is placed onprofessional competencies which are important for today’s engineers competing in a globalmarket. Accreditation as a relatively new phenomenon in the developing countries face thechallenge of ensuring quality based on standards while also facilitating innovations in education.There is a lack of resources for upgrading laboratories, shortage of trained teachers to teacheffectively and make the course

providing a value-added component for technology-oriented universities toextend the curriculum experience by providing both undergraduate and graduate students aresearch experience3 with real-world problems, opportunities and applications. The authors of this paper present a comparative analysis of technology and innovation-oriented centers. To gain an understanding of such centers, the authors focused on recognizedcenters to examine their mission, goals and objectives, research focus, business model,competitive perspectives, growth anomalies, principles of specialization, and innovationcapabilities. Based on this comparative analysis, the authors developed a set of relevantconclusions and recommendations for technology innovation centers

Thisdevelopment takes place through involvement in a wide range of economic development projectsby utilizing intellectual property development and creating partnerships with industry, which alsocreates opportunities for research and students training.

However, preparing engineering students with all theprevious mentioned attributes is no small task given that engineering programs are alreadyoverloaded with credits, content, and other demands.Eight international prestigious universities, chaired by TU Darmstadt, started in October 2005 aninitiative to conduct the first worldwide scientific study on “Global Engineering”2. The results ofthis study lead to four recommendations: 1. Global competence needs to become a key qualification of engineering graduates; 2. Transnational mobility for engineering students, researchers, and professionals needs to become a

Thissuggests that by participating in the bootcamp and working together with cross-cultural teammembers in assigned projects, some students recognized that success of the projects depends notonly on the technical skills but also on how well they communicate their ideas to othercolleagues and how cooperative they are in accepting other opinions as well.Learning and ExpectationsFigure 6 shows that among the expectations that were ‘extremely important’ for

According to Lee andCarrasquillo, “[e]very Korean child learns from a very early age that education is the ultimatecriterion for one’s advancement in life. In fact it is their outright responsibility to their parentsand to their family name that they perform at their best in all scholastic endeavors. Because ofthis belief many Korean students perform schoolwork energetically with resilience, tenacity, anda positive outlook,” though Lee and Carrasquillo also caution of the negative impact suchperfectionism can have on Korean students’ psyches.10 Grade concerns were evident among mystudents. Many considered a grade below an “A
