The broad range of international experiences in place suggests to the authorsthat what is “best” has not yet been determined and that there is room for additional explorationof course formats.

The students wereevaluating their experience in an engineering and technology class, a completely new andexciting phenomenon to them. It is likely this was the first time that any of them learned aboutmaglev transportation systems or studied about bridges and structure. For them, therefore, thisclass in itself was a great learning experience. Their difficulties grasping the concepts orexplaining them clearly do negate the fact that they learned a lot about maglev and bridges. Thisis an important example to keep in mind when introducing students to new concepts, developingnew and innovative programs, and assessing learning. The students’ perception of

Because these studentstypically have not yet developed content-specific knowledge in a particular field of study, programs musttake into account that participants have a less-developed knowledge base about global issues, especiallyabout global engineering and business practices. The University of Pittsburgh has developed this programwith these constraints in mind; students are introduced to global engineering and business practices at a levelat which they can relate their developing knowledge to what they experience during the program. Becausethe overseas portion of the program is short (two weeks), topics covered are very tightly focused andpresented at an introductory level to students.Although short term

Three main goals for the curricula are: (1) to immerse learners in challengingand stimulating classrooms where reliance in memorization, as normally done in the Dominicanclassrooms, is discouraged and the focus is instead on critical thinking, creativity, discovering engineeringand technology, and building collaborative (and leadership) skills. (2) Motivate the learners' curiosity andinstill in the young minds interest for learning. As previously stated, the Dominican classroomsconsistently discourage curiosity, creativity, and inquiry.
