speakers.So far, three common projects with students from DTU-Denmark and Purdue-USA have beencompleted. For the American students the projects are their senior capstone projects and, for Danishstudents, the project is a component of a course called Innovation Pilot.International companies from Denmark and/or USA generated the project topics: 1. Schneider Electric: “Automation Feasibility Project”. Participants were 3 students from Purdue and 4 students from DTU. 2. Cabin Plant:”Vibration Unit”. Participants were 2 students from Purdue and 4 students from DTU. 3. Danfoss A/S: ”Thermal Based Efficiency Measurement of High-Performance Power Electronics”. Participants were 3 students from Purdue and 4 students from DTU.In

statement as compared to the competencies statement. Learning objectives will be in the same format and meet the same criteria as competencies, but should be at the same or, more likely, a lower level. Learning objectives reflect what learners must do in an educational setting to achieve a specific related competency. They tell learners what supporting skills, knowledge, and attitudes they will learn; begin with an action verb; and they are measurable and observable13.E. Key: In this field, the competencies are identified by a key. K is used for Knowledge, S is used of skills, G is used for Global and A is used for attitude and behavior
experiencing a new culture for the first time does put a differentperspective on your outlook on life. The cooperation between the two universities, Magdeburg University of Applied Sciences andIUPUI, is quite good. The interactions between the two institutions and faculty have increasedsince the summer of 2005. Many more IUPUI students will have the opportunity to take a newexperience and make it work to their advantage.References1.

science and engineering research and education. In many ways, S&T government agencies’ focus areas are aligned with corporate labs’ research focus in that both sponsor and engage "where discoveries begin." Many S&T Government entities’ programs not only provide opportunities to discover and develop new technologies, but also provide a vehicle to transfer these technologies for new business creation that stimulate technological innovation and new business creation in the private sector. These programs strengthen the role of small business concerns in meeting national/regional research and development needs, increase the commercial application of supported research results, and foster and encourage participation by

]. Students scored similarly to their country rankings in other cultural traits regardlessof the students’ areas of study. For example, students from the five engineering majors scoredsimilarly to Ecuador´s country ranking for the Uncertainty Avoidance dimension.One of the dimensions that posed more significant differences between the majors was uncertaintyavoidance. We found consider this is for several reasons. First, there are different disciplinaryperceptions and motivations regarding accepting risks. For example, disciplines like industrial andsystems engineering have relatively low uncertainty avoidance [39] because of the many differentcareer paths students can take and how flexible is the discipline in terms of the type of problemsthey solve
numbers, a budget plan is generated by faculty supervisor(s) for the trip.Over the summer months, students must submit a formal application that includes letters ofrecommendation from faculty. After review by the College, students’ applications are the basisfor deciding eligibility. Students are informed of their acceptance to the program prior to theirreturn to campus in the fall. A deposit from accepted students has a mid-September deadline,allowing the College and Jacobs University to plan in greater detail. The size of the groupdictates whether one or two faculty will supervise the program. It is generally acknowledged byfaculty supervisors and study abroad administrators that twenty to twenty-five students is themaximum group size

the Plus3 program is to encourage students to continue to study foreignlanguage(s) after completing the Plus3 program. The results indicate that 22% of the engineering studentsand 56% of the business students continued foreign language study after participation in the Plus3 program,with Spanish being the most common language studied. The difference is statistically significant [X2(1, N =101) = 10.00, p < 0.002], with more business students studying foreign languages after Plus3.International activitiesStill another goal of the Plus3 program is to get students interested in participating in international activitiesboth during college and after graduation.

are drawbacks inthis model too. Students often seek advice from the local faculty, and communicate it to theirteam members. This may lead to conflicting views as described earlier, although the chances ofsuch occurrence are low. More importantly, although the instructors grade GPD projects andteams jointly, the “local” instructor determines the final grade for each student at his/herinstitution. The instructor has a much deeper knowledge about the teams and the project works/he has supervised. It is difficult for the “local” instructor to understand the subtle decisionsmade by a team s/he did not supervise. Currently, the “local” instructor follows the progress ofhis “local” students independent of their teams by interacting frequently with
