In addition to addressing the UN SDGs, these engagementactivities seek to create and sustain and international collaboration in a platform known as thefourth age of research [2]. Following these initiatives at Penn State and recognizing the need toprepare our students to make a meaningful contribution to the implementation of the SDGs, wedeveloped a six-week long faculty-led program called: Global Engineering Culture and Society.This paper describes the overall vision of the program, and focus on the design, development,implementation, challenges, assessment plans, and what is next for the course: GlobalEngineering Culture and

It has been traditionally taughtover 2 semesters, with keynote lectures and laboratories/ tutorials in semester 1, followed bycase studies in semester 2. However, learner autonomy is not explicitly developed withinthese case studies and so a new learning and teaching methodology has been used under theCPLA development work.The main objectives of the project were: • To develop learner autonomy in engineering first year students. • To link individual critical review of knowledge and skill development of the students and relate this to their Personal Development Planning (progress files) through the use of project and problem based learning. • For

efficient use of all the available direct contact hours. Hence, it was important that any material presented by the exchange faculty member would be relevant, be presented at the appropriate level for the student cohort and fit seemlessly into their course of study. For planning purposes, exchange timelines typically need to be agreed at least 2.5 months in advance. We found it appropriate and useful for the exchange faculty member from the partner institution to propose a list of possible topics where they believed they could bring particular value. Subsequently, we sought the advice and guidance of our overseas partner as to its suitability. In every case, this feedback proved useful in aligning the material appropriately for the cohort

We believe the broader and more diverse theportfolio, the better chance we have of getting students to participate.In planning our expansion of programs available to students in the BCoE, we consider thefollowing program attributes from a college of engineering perspective. These attributes becameapparent as we researched other programs to look for ideas and partners. 1. ownership: who has direct responsibility for the program in terms of content, recruiting, logistics, etc. a. internal: college of engineering or department b. external: another unit on campus

Consequently the unique conditions that currentlyexist in Moldova are conducive to unconventional approaches for resolving the presentdependence on foreign energy.

The major goal is to re-arrange the educational resources in such a way that they can bemore efficiently used while the quality of graduates can be further raised. Firstly, several so-called the “strategic industries” are identified depending on the country’s economy plans. In themean time, the programs that matching with those strategic industries are initiated one afteranother by MOE. Unlike the traditional educational programs, the REAP emphasizes the inter-university collaborations. Among these many capstone programs in REAP, the precisionmechatronics program, started in 1997, includes
