naturally toanybody that is seeking a career in engineering. I think we could learn a lot more if we focused more on theconcepts and how they apply in every-day situations.And from another — I went to a talk about fractals recently, and the visual representations of them--forexample, Koch's snowflake and the Maltese Cross. I think it would be interesting to show an example of this to theengineers in [our class]. It's confusing to explain, but I imagine programming a computer to draw fractals is veryinvolved and applicable to our class--I'm sure there are for and do while loops, or such involved. Also, the finalresults are more interesting than a computer printout of the estimated values of sine between 0 and 90 degrees (nooffense!). Why don't we

world; how to give good presentations; and about the dynamics of human resource management.” · “Not only did I learn a lot of information about a wide variety of subjects, but I learned how to solve problems critically and completely.”The impact of the ILTM program on our students while they are at Bucknell is exceptional. Wehope that it is at least equally relevant to their future careers, preparing them to become leadersof institutions that can take advantage of the unprecedented technological, information, andenvironmental changes occurring in the world today, and that also understand the need to actethically and responsibly to sustain a healthy balance between man and his technologies and theglobal environment

different personnel in the day-to-day research activities, including a number of post-graduate and under-graduate students.This is to be expected given that one of academia’s key aspirations regarding collaborativeventures is the provision of industrially relevant, “real world” research project s for studentsand the exposure of students to industry in preparation for their future careers. A recentreport by the Business-Higher Education Forum (BHEF) 16 in the US has stated that, for thisreason, “graduate students can enhance or impede a collaboration, but they are almostalways used”. However, given that there is considerable evidence in the literature ofsignificant problems arising from fundamental differences between academia and industry, itseems

exposurewill motivate increasingly larger numbers of U.S. students particularly to do an experienceabroad during their undergraduate years. Additionally, as the standards, practices and processes,become more common throughout the world it will make it easier to develop internationalcooperative partnerships, exchange course credits and embark upon distance learning as amodality so as to insure lifelong learning independent of where an individual chooses to pursuetheir career or life. As a result, we see the need for a global experience as early as possible in theeducational program increasing, and the ease with which this can become accomplishedincreasing as well. This hopefully will lead to a time when more then half of the undergraduateengineering

their emerging skill set,resources and schedules, but also one that effectively prepares them for their careers is difficult.Many of the elements of this experiment, as noted in the paper did appear to enhance the learningexperience, whereas some did not. Continued efforts will be made to integrate various disciplineperspectives into the capstone design experience. It is felt that not only will this improve thelearning for the engineering students but also provide the opportunity to introduce the engineer’sviewpoint to students outside the discipline. Some compromise between the two corporatecultures considered herein seems to be best suited for the students at Notre Dame, and this maybe institutionally dependent. Providing freedom that allows
