studied in detail.4 The next step was to “take the plunge” by running our own programs. Aspart of an overall strategy to prepare our students, 5 the college decided to move aheadaggressively by sponsoring study abroad programs in China, France, Romania, Mexico andTonga, a BYU led design project involving student teams in ten countries, and internationalinternships. In this paper we will discuss what we learned from running these programs this pastyear. In particular, we will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the various formats, thechallenges that arose, and changes we intend to make in the future. As might be guessed, we hadsome surprises; in particular we had not anticipated that humanitarian projects would emerge asan important focus of

However, integration of international experience into an already packedengineering curriculum can be a little more difficult to attain. Study abroad, internationalinternships and co-ops and international service-learning represent some of the ways in whichengineering academia has provided international experiences for some of its students

Some examples of projects undertaken include development of ahuman powered grain crusher and a tree climber. The grain crusher being designed at RowanUniversity has undergone many revisions to make it more affordable and sustainable based onpilot studies and end-user feedback. It can be powered easily by a single person and thereforecan utilize human energy for crushing grains efficiently. The second project currently inprogress is a palm tree climber.

The reason to hold this programin both Hong Kong and Cambridge, MA was to give the students a chance to work within andexperience both campuses, culturally and geographically. The pedagogical approach was unique,as there was no embedded curriculum and students were able to freely pursue a project in a giventopic area that they were interested in.
