The overall goal was to define the major issues in GEEand to reach consensus on action items to further the success and spread of GEE. Concludingwith action items was a strategic necessity. Ending the workshop with a list of issues andconclusions without “marching orders” would have been incomplete. The action items help the Page 11.1027.2attendees to continue the workshop discussion as they return home and give a sense of purposeand a plan for continuing the workshop in coming years.Among the

In a partnership focused on teaching and learning, corporations may fund studentactivities, offer tours of facilities, give technical talks, organize meetings and plan/fundeducational trips.4 To inform the creation of partnerships to support teaching-learning activities, it isimportant to determine what components are needed to create a successful partnership of thistype. While attention has been called to the importance of universities pursuing corporatepartnerships, there are few models available that have examined what components are necessaryfor the success of these relationships as well as the benefits to each partner to doing so.

In this 2018 offering a large faculty team was established to providetutorials to groups of roughly 12 students to supplement the lecture component delivered by theU.S. professor. Student and faculty reviews of the course have been mostly positive and manyimportant lessons have been learnt through the experience. The most critical of these lessons arebeing incorporated into a revised plan for the course when it is offered next in 2019. It is feltthat our experience should be of interest to others contemplating the challenges of preparing non-native English speakers for the engineering profession in this

During the fall semester prior to the 2011 spring RSAPcourse, an assessment plan was identified to provide information that would inform futureprogram design. Following approval from the Institutional Review Board, current students andthe 2008 cohort of RSAP students were identified as the sample for this study. Among current students we wanted to examine how they developed the culturalcompetencies that we identified as important in a global engineering context. To do this we hadstudents engage in a writing activity. Students were assigned to answer a brief essay question atthe beginning of the semester and then were

Work plans must address the research goals and expected outcomes of the proposed research, and address how the research fellows will be provided with on-the-job hard and soft skills training to be prepared for the shifting industry mix in science and innovation. Semi-annual progress reports will be required of both the research fellow and the corporate mentors. Mentor reports are to be submitted to ASEE and should include a report on the interactions with the research fellows, address their assessment of the progress of the research plan, list the publications and presentations in process, and address how they

This will involve increasing the capacity to accommodate more qualified students, together with an improvement in the quality of higher education by improving the number and quality of lecturers and offering a greater variety of courses.

The second difficulty stems from the practicalsituation of returnees: they move on to other activities, like summer jobs or new classes, andtheir concern shifts to what is newly facing them. Engineers especially have tight schedules, andsomething like reflection on a trip that is already completed (and for which they have alreadyearned credit) can seem unimportant.
