evaluations follow the CEAB’s policies and procedures, but may only lead to a decision of“substantial equivalency” for such programs in foreign institutions. The term “substantialequivalency” means “comparable in program content and educational experience” and it impliesreasonable confidence that the graduates possess the academic competencies needed to beginprofessional practice at the entry level. The CEAB recommends that the Canadian licensingbodies treat graduates of programs evaluated as substantially equivalent as if they were graduatesof CEAB-accredited programs for the period that substantial equivalence is in effect.

According to the NationalAssociation of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM), each year over 3 milliongraduates and post-graduates are added to the Indian workforce. However, of these only 25percent of technical graduates and 10-15 percent of other graduates are considered employableby the rapidly growing IT and ITES(Information Technology Enabled Services) segments.Hence, what we have today is a growing skills gap reflecting
time (asynchronous learning). The software allows theinstructor to effectively monitor students’ progress. The initial development plan started summer2005, with the first experimental partial delivery of an undergraduate computer programmingcourse during fall 2005. The trial phase has continued by offering 1-2 courses per semester,including the summer session. We have also delivered a graduate level electrical engineeringcourse to a small group of students residing overseas. It should be mentioned that these courses,except for the graduate course, have been designed and delivered based on flexible deliverymodel but for one campus only. Cross-campuses delivery phase is scheduled for implementationby spring 2009 semester

Key factors, such as timetable matching and course equivalencymapping for accreditation and time-to-degree considerations, will be described and exampleprocedures and documents to these ends will be shared.This paper provides, not a conceptual exploration of what might be, but rather a practical, reality-based sharing of best practices that derive from our two institutions’ more than two year effort toevolve sustainable linkages. We are reporting on lessons learned from the real experience ofadministrators, faculty and students, not only exchanging but
Engineering and engineering education researchers underscore anecessity that U.S. engineering graduates be capable of collaborating across national boundariesto successfully “encounter worlds of professional practice that are increasingly global in nature.”As a result, this emphasis requires engineering educators and professionals to better understandwhat constitutes a globally prepared engineer and the types of learning experiences fosterpreparation of such an engineer.This paper offers an overview of a NSF funded multi-university research program thatinvestigates how globally focused learning experiences within engineering (both co- and extra-curricular) impact students’ global preparedness.

CollegeAbstractThe engineering education in China has made a lot of promising changes recently. The Chineseeducators are actively aligning their teaching styles, course materials and utilization of availableresources with the popular practices in the western countries (such as the US). The authors of thepaper piloted a graduate course, Advanced Manufacturing Systems, in spring 2014 at YangzhouUniversity in China. An American classroom environment was simulated in this course. It wastaught in English and covered a wide range of up-to-date manufacturing topics. It was alsoproject-based and involved large amounts of in-class discussions. The student feedback wasexciting. In this paper, the authors will introduce how the course was designed and taught. Theywill

EducationAbstractResearch studies discover a number of teaching and learning methods and these methods can beused to develop student’s ability in critical thinking, logic reasoning, and problem solving.Student’s learning outcomes are greatly impacted by these teaching and learning methods. It ishypothesized that properly selected teaching and learning methods can be applied in student’slearning and knowledge development to help students with different culture backgrounds yieldbetter learning outcomes.This research study selects three teaching and learning methods for an experiment in a softwareengineering class. These methods are tightening connections between learning objectives andoutcomes, a repetitive learning model to improve student learning results, and a
