This study was only conducted at one(R1) university with only three fields studied, so the results cannot be generalized beyond thepopulation.Future WorkWe plan to evaluate and analyze the lifelong learner results carefully so that reliable lifelonglearner items can be created, either as new questions or as questions that relate orthogonally tolifelong learning in teacher and researcher roles. We also plan to revise and distribute the surveynationally to all graduate fields of study to see how the additional fields view these roles.

this means is that one ormore robust international partnerships are absolutely necessary to support any internationalexperience that goes beyond a superficial tour of a foreign country; yet, even such tours requireat least basic partnerships if any sort of academic element (e.g., campus tours, studentconferences) is to be included. More generally, the range of “services” that an internationalpartner might offer include: • Basic logistics. Anyone who has ever planned a foreign trip to a little-known locale knows how difficult and error-prone such planning can be. A local partner will have extensive knowledge of local infrastructure, including academic spaces, lodging, and travel within the region. For short, faculty-led

Recognizing thatthere are difficulties in proper delivery of systems analysis and systems dynamics to engineeringstudents; the fact remains that these tools are extremely useful for someone who plans to becomea designer. Therefore, ways have to be found to enhance the understanding of systems’ thinking,and at the same time, to develop educational experiences that could efficiently improve learningoutcomes.2) Looking at risk management and uncertainty: Engineering design is carried out relying onincomplete data, imperfect models, often with unclear objectives, and other potential problemsand constraints. The effects of such uncertainties on the design of a project may have seriousconsequences unless proper safeguards have been

Not everyonein the class has to be a diehard fan of the universe, but most need to feel positive about it and atleast be familiar with it.
