The ECTSis an important part of this overall effort since its intent is to allow students to transfer creditsamong the diverse universities in different European countries. The countries involved in theEHEA are not limited to, nor all-inclusive of, member countries of the European Union (EU).The process leading to the ECTS has been reasonably well accepted by European systems. Asnoted by the European Students Union (1), “The three-cycle system (bachelor, master, anddoctoral degrees) and the ECTS are among the prime examples of successes of the BolognaProcess…”One significant

Many foreign scientistscome to U.S. institutions to conduct research and make use of state-of-the-art laboratoryfacilities. The number of foreign students at U.S. universities is significantly higher than that ofU.S. students at foreign universities. However, if the U.S. is to remain competitive in a globaleconomy, it is important that future engineering leaders and researchers be given the opportunityto experience firsthand what it is like to work in a foreign research environment and to establisha network of contacts that could lead to future international collaborations.To address these issues, the department of mechanical engineering at Oakland

It was developed inresponse to: 1) the increasing need for engineers and scientists to have a global perspective ofwater resources challenges; 2) the need for engineers and scientists from across the world towork together to develop solutions to our global water resources challenges; and 3) the lack ofshort-term, affordable international experiences available to engineering students. Since itsinception, IPWRSM has taken 124 students on nine different international experiences (India,1998; Taiwan & Japan, 1999; China, 2000; Eastern Europe, 2001

It is a free web application thateducators can use to create effective online dynamic web learning sites for students. To work, it needs tobe installed on a web server somewhere, either on one of institutional computers or one at a web hostingcompany. One main advantage of Moodle is that it is free to download and registration is voluntary(http://moodle.org/). Moodle also provides opportunities for course conversion from traditional learningenvironments to online learning environments8. Several examples of Moodle successful applicationscan be found in the

These calls stem from concerns that the typical engineering curricula are notproviding students with experiences that enable them to acquire the competencies andprofessionalism required by the profession in the global 21st century. 1, 2 To address theseconcerns, some educators advocate for a more holistic curriculum and more practical experiencesthat can enhance student engagement and better prepare them for professional practice. 1 Otherspropose increasing the social interaction and development of students via collaborative,integrative learning experiences that allow them to develop a deeper understanding ofengineering and enhance their

Scientific based research is widelyviewed by engineers, to be rigorous and objective driven, using empirical methods inexperiment driven systemic methods that test hypotheses and justify conclusions. Suchpositivist traditions sometimes argue that such a truth can never be confirmed, onlydisconfirmed, i.e. the concept of falsifiability [1].
