Research [17] has shown that highly impactful educational practices include firstyear experiences that involve teams in research and service learning. Therefore, in their first semester,freshman Scholars, as well as BFCIT EE freshmen, meet for six hours per week in three two-hoursessions, each led by a full-time EE faculty member, to work in teams on projects that teach aboutelectrical engineering; projects include those involving wind and solar energy, electric motors, robotics,and general electrical engineering laboratory tools such as oscilloscopes, signal generators, andmultimeters.

The IRES Track II (Advanced Studies Institute) program is a brief (15-21days) yet intensive course designed specifically for graduate students. This is more narrowlyaimed at cutting-edge research, and the engagement of eminent scholars in the relevant field isrequired to justify the choice of a foreign location.This paper discusses how international research benefits engineering students.

From an epistemological perspective, experiential learning aligns with constructivism, whichposits that learners construct meaning from their experiences [30]. Our UAS education programhas been designed with use of experiential learning to merge theoretical concepts and appliedexperiences. Having an interactive component is imperative for students to properly learn UAStechnology.
