The topicswere broadly organized into three categories: wind data organization and analysis, small electricmachine research for alternative energy applications (e.g. wind turbine and low-head hydrogenerators), and energy strategies and related economics in Moldova. The TUM faculty that arepredominantly interested in alternative energy research are in the Electrical and MechanicalEngineering Colleges. In addition, several of these faulty members also work through

Study abroad experiences are often accomplished throughshort- or long-term sojourns, or bilateral exchange of students between universities. Someschools also offer global engineering courses that emphasize historical and cultural themes,sometimes through engagement with guest speakers.3 Service projects with global dimensionsare another prevalent program format.

This can bedone in many ways and many conference papers explain how a given university has createdprograms to help engineers be exposed to global technology, culture, communication andcollaboration. Typical programs offer study abroad for engineering students, but some also offermulti-national teaming on projects with common objectives.Conferences and symposia have their place, but sometimes the participants need extended timefor goal-directed discussion.
