decade; the use of simulation games hasbeing growing for teaching several courses4-6, 15, 16.The main goal of the FAS is that students can "perform" several analytical techniques applied tofoods and have the “feeling” of being in a real laboratory, making their learning more attractiveand less tedious for them. The perspective of the FAS is “first person” like many modern FirstPerson Shooter games as Call of Duty 3. The interaction with the student is performed bypointing an object and make click on it, it's connected to a MySQL database in order to log eachstudent activity, which can be used to assess the materials chosen by the students for laboratorywork. The hardest part in the development of the FAS was to create the 3D models in order

While faculty at UTG (and smaller colleges in the US) will struggle to compete with theR1's in the scholarship of discovery, the playing field can be leveled or even tipped to theiradvantage in the other areas. Faculty at many smaller US colleges and UTG will likely alwayshave greater teaching responsibilities and less access to costly research laboratories andresources (library, software, database access, support staff, technicians, etc.). This clearly tips thecompetitive balance toward the R1's in the scholarship of discovery. However in the scholarshipof teaching, an increased valuation of teaching should provide opportunity to raise visibility inthis area of scholarship. Evidence of this can be seen every summer at

Several observations are quickly apparent: 1) Regardless of degree, the number of instruction contact hours for a degree program in Russia is considerably higher than comparable degrees in the American system. American bachelor degrees are in the 120-130 credit hours range compared to ~220 contact hours in the Russian system. The authors realize that contact hours are different than credit hours. The hours included in Figure 1 are also a mixture of lecture and laboratory for both Russian and American systems. It has been assumed that the

Mostof the courses during the KTH fall and spring semesters are in Swedish, and there is no capacityat VT to teach the students Swedish prior to arriving at KTH. Hence, the US students visitedKTH during the summer for beginning Swedish and undergraduate research, but these creditswere already satisfied by the German language courses at VT and several required courses atTUD that transfer as technical electives to VT. Hence, the US students could not make use oftheir credits earned at KTH.Lack of Compliance with the Bologna ProcessWhile the ministers for higher education across Europe have endorsed the
