, and the World Bank.These forces have led to dramatic increases in global trade and the rise in scale and influence ofmulti-national companies. According to the World Trade Organization, the growth of world tradewas more than double the growth of world GDP from 1995 until the recession in 2008.6 Sincethat time the ratio has been less than 2.0 but greater than 1.5. In 2015, 35 of the world’s largestone hundred economies were not countries but companies.7 A recent article in the popular pressindicates that for the S&P 500 companies, 48% of their 2014 revenues came from abroad.8Technology-based companies were even higher. Examples of prominent engineering-basedcompanies which receive a majority of their revenues from abroad include Intel (82

technologiesand provide ample reason to reexamine the opportunities for self-directed learning.! !Candy (2004) suggested that self-directed learning “provides a more direct route intounderstanding the actual dynamics of and relationship(s) between learning andtechnologies.” Technology can constrain the direction and focus, allowing for a user toquickly find and record relevant information, yet it also can be a distracting environmentthat leads to inefficiency or reduces motivation. Technology affords incredible access forlearners to connect with others, explore topics of interest, and participate in opportunitiesotherwise unavailable to them. In addition, technology provides vast amounts of resources,both information and people, to serve as materials for

teams that evolve by student self-selection processes over time that most often provide these benefits, while success in assignedteams may not be as prevalent. Thus, educators may benefit from observing and examining theinformal, self-assembled working teams students create in order to modify the way theyorganize, assign, diagnose, and support more formal project teams within courses and classroom.ACKNOWLEDGMENTSThe authors would like to gratefully acknowledge the National Science Foundation for theirsupport of this work under the REESE program (grant numbers DRL-0909817, 0910143,0909659, 0909900, and 0909850).

program can have a majorexperience both on design and research, under this context, in their fifth year they have project-based courses with the proposal, execution and reporting phases being nominally divided up intothe two semesters. A member of the ME faculty is assigned as advisor and often the projectresults in a bachelor thesis, several of this projects have also resulted in journal publicationsand/or patent applications. We are strongly promoting this option, since it greatly benefits thestudents and allows us to detect talents to pursue graduate studies.Accreditation: Engineering programs accreditation agencies in Mexico started in the middle1990´s.
