The framers of the land-grant bill believed that there needed to be a focus onintellectual effort for the improvement of industry and agriculture. State universities, withmodest tuitions and a mandate to educate all who could benefit from it, have produced one of thebest citizenries in the world. The support of academic research has delivered prosperity,security, and health as well as a graduate education system that is one of the most highlyregarded in the world. Higher education is the key to enhanced socioeconomic attainment,freedom and independence of individuals and hence countries.A similar trend is being seen in India lately. While the

The team-based structure also best allows the transfer of ideas andperspectives among the students. To accomplish this, the summer design experience wasconstructed as a program made up of multidisciplinary teams not only based on educationaldiversity but also including cultural and gender diversity. The instructional staff for the summerprojects selected a broad program theme, but individual teams were given the freedom to pursuea project topic of interest within that theme. For the 2014 program, the theme was visible light(wavelength) communication systems (VLC). Within this theme, the

Creating a "Global Algorithm" for Engineering EducationAbstractFor five generations American engineering education has rested upon a practical model ofdrawing a broad range of students with certain mathematical skills and wide technologicalinterests into a large-mouthed pedagogic funnel, gradually compressing their training into ever-narrower frames of specific, skill-sets and acumens. The result has been to standardize the end-products emerging from the apex of the educational funnel. Examinations and re-toolings ofengineering education have usually merely redirected the funnel with recommendations of newmethods and protocols for fine-tuning the relevance of contemporary technology to theclassroom and laboratory. One canon remains constant

It will be difficult for the DR to emerge as an innovative player in the global economy without developing this wealth.In addition to resources and cost, lack of prior experiences in the country with programs likeMACILE has made the program design more challenging. Another limitation has been the lackof studies dealing specifically with the conditions of education in Ytabo or the socio-economiccharacteristics of the communities.

Findings suggest that students develop agreater appreciation for language differences, see a connectedness between their engineeringwork and societal impacts, and draw connections more readily between theories presented inclass and practical applications on site. Not surprisingly, our findings also suggest that studentsare more likely to participate in a study abroad program when their class schedules are notadversely affected and when the topic relates to their major discipline.IntroductionStudying abroad at the post-secondary level is frequently advocated for because of the manypotential benefits to student learning1,2,3,4.
