local towns people (students) attend the school where on the weekends he sends trucks into themountains to pick up students who have no or little access to education so they can attend school.The school taught basic subject material but lacked skilled trades training.This was an eye-opening moment for what opportunities will these students have to live and thrivein the year 2030 and beyond. Armed with this information SKY ventured out to make a differencein the training needs of the kids in this community. SKY launched a project that would convertand recycle shipping containers into skilled trades laboratories (Figure 1). Recruiting threeAlabama schools, SKY committed to supplying the community of Belfate, Honduras with fourcontainer classrooms

]. Thetraditional engineering courses are enriched by trips to Michael Faraday’s Laboratory, KewBridge Steam Museum, Bletchley Park (where the earliest computers were developed),Greenwich Maritime Museum and Royal Observatory (home of the zero meridian), amongothers. Group travel facilitates scheduling a large number of contact hours within a short timeframe; the trade-off is fewer recreational hours for the students to experience the travel locationunsupervised. The Engineering in London program remedies this by remaining in one locationwhere the students have easy access to experience city life.Not all global seminar descriptions explained how the travel component enriched the course.Some descriptions were general, for example: • CES Faculty-Led

This is also anotherway of technology transfer within a country – between the industries and academia – where both gainvalue: a win-win situation!In knowledge transfer from preceptor to disciple, from mentor to mentee (Guru to Sishya, in Sanskrit),the transmitting and the receiving ends of knowledge and the knowledge itself have to be in unison. Thesame is true in the domain of arts: the artist, the art work and the observer must be in unison. John Deweyemphasized this point particularly in the realm of art education [6]. In technology, the closest that comesto the arts is architecture. In engineering we are just one

In fact, the weekly timetable documentssuggest that as much as a third of the fourth-year contact hours at Town University areexpected laboratory work time rather than traditional contact sessions (not evident in thefigure).With respect to the institutional variations, Figure 1 shows that in the last two years, there is asignificant difference in contact time at the two South African universities, with the contacthours at City University considerably lower than those at Town University.
