One of the many examples ofexperience-based learning is that of education abroad programs. According to Kolb’sexperiential learning theory, experiential learning is "the process whereby knowledge is createdthrough the transformation of experience16.” There are four steps in the learning cycle: 1)Concrete Experience 2) Reflective Observation 3) Abstract Conceptualization 4) ActiveExperimentation.

was a link to a 2004 paper by Dr. Jack Lohmann on the ideal engineering education13, and most of the remaining top 10 items were advertisements of engineering faculty positions looking for ideal candidates (of course, focused on research). Lohmann’s paper reflects on an article by Professor W.H. Burr, Professor of Civil Engineering at the Columbia College School of Mines in New York. (Burr’s article, published in 1894, appeared in the first proceedings of the then-newly formed Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education, ASEE’s predecessor.) Lohmann argues that although engineering curricula has not changed much in a hundred years, assuring a solid education requires a vibrant community of scholars dedicated to the continual

Teachers’ awareness of students’ cultures can betterequip them to interact with diverse students [12]. The plurality in culturally responsive teachingtheory reflects cultural synergies within the class, developed from the notion that race, class,culture, ethnicity, and gender shape the diverse students’ learning styles, requiring multipleinstructional strategies for the common learning outcomes [12]. Therefore, cultural synergies canbe viewed from three aspects.

he discusses the difference between conceptual outcomesand outcome measures: “Because they reflect the desired aims and objectives of the educationalprogram, outcome measures are inevitably value based. The very act of choosing to assesscertain outcomes rather than others clearly requires us to make value judgments. In thisconnection, it is important to distinguish between the value statement – a verbal description ofsome future condition or state of affairs that is considered desirable or important (e.g.,competence in critical thinking) – and the actual measure selected to represent that outcome. Theformer might be referred to as the conceptual outcome; the latter as the outcome measure. Thetask in developing an appropriate outcome measure
