This office is quite uniquefor universities as legal issues of international activities are usually considered byuniversity’s general legal advisors who have neither enough time to focus oninternationalization needs nor adequate expertise in international law.The most important responsibilities of this Office are:Development, approval and implementation of efficient technologies, forms and methods foruniversity’s internationalization management; 1. Development of procedural and institutional aspects of this management and its regulatory support; 2. Analysis of legal aspects of networking involving international partners and

Professor Jones, a member of thedepartment of civil engineering, had been engaged in a number international education andresearch efforts in locations around the world for several years. He conducted this first trip as anexploratory trip to determine if CUJAE had interest in collaborating with this U.S. institution.This trip was very illuminating and the following observations were made: (1)CUJAE had avibrant international program with over 100 collaborative relationships/MOUs with engineeringinstitutions from all over the world, (2) these relationships were for the

Thechangeable variable which can be set in the experiment is electric voltage across the diode.On the graph (Figure 1) one can see the change of the electric current [mA] flowing throughthe diode in dependence on the value of the set electric voltage [V]. Additionally, it ispossible to find out from the graph when the diode is in a conductive mode. Anotherchangeable parameter is illumination intensity of the light source [%].

. Referred to as higher educationmakerspaces and academic makerspaces, these facilities have been established at manyinstitutions. This trend has been prompted by developments in several areas, including calls fromindustry for more practical skills in engineering graduates as well as increased access to andsupport for digital manufacturing [1, 2].Higher education makerspaces combine elements of traditional machine shops (such as handtools, portable power tools, and standing machinery) with modern tools for design andfabrication (such as computer aided design software and laser cutters). In addition to the toolsand equipment, higher education makerspaces also promote collaboration and peer-to-peerlearning. These elements help develop a sense of

The assessment, however, has novalue without student’s actual learning of the subject area. So a well-designed lesson plan and awell-developed series of problems is actually the foundation of the assessment. Assignmentsmust be supplemented by short and focused lectures. The assignment must be designed so thatthe students must spend some time outside the class working in teams. The other maincomponent is individual student’s preparation before coming to the class

In other words, the exammethods should fit the learning objectives of the particular course or program, which also meansthat the examination method influences what is measured and noticed. Furthermore, a futureexam is a well-documented factor in the students’ motivation for the course, and it influenceswhat the students learn [2,3]. It is, therefore, vital, that the exam method is considered carefullyin order to support the teaching methods and the intended learning objectives.This paper focuses on the assessment of engineering students’ collaborate project work and usesthe project supervisors' perceptions to understand how essential skills such as collaboration andcommunication can

What is different from the Pinewood Derby isthat the model car of our project would be made from 3D printing instead of elaborating on apinewood block.

This is the result of an approach thatresponds to current global needs. Universities are aware of the changes and challenges ahead,and are committed to developing “global citizens” 1. One dimension they are working on, is theinternationalization of their students.The promotion of scientific and technological careers is on the agenda of international agenciesand countries. It is expected that the demand of Science, Technology, Engineering andMathematics (STEM) professionals will increase rapidly in the next 10 years. Also, thecompetencies they must have are going to
