The three survey questions were asked in the context of development in the countryof Uganda. The following questions were asked of 150 to 200 leaders: What do you need?How do you deal with the unmet need(s)? What can we do to help in this process? Theresearchers held discussions with the stakeholders who comprise religious, community (hospitaladministration, business owners) and university leaders (professors/administrators). Thegeographic scope included a wide variety of settings, both urban (including universities) andrural in Kampala, Mukono, and the district of

Uponsuccessful completion of the program, the student receives two separate Bachelor of Sciencedegrees, in nuclear and mechanical engineering. The program has gained significantpopularity at Penn State with thirty-two students currently enrolled.IntroductionBy the mid 1990’s, the undergraduate enrollment in nuclear engineering, across the nation, hadsignificantly decreased such that many Nuclear Engineering Programs and Departments werediscontinued or merged into other programs. Some of the mergers resulted in the eventualdisappearance of the Nuclear Engineering Program as a viable

domain of students in the liberal arts, a perkfor language, history, and political science majors. 7 Engineers, with their strictly definedcurricula, felt there was little room for flexibility to allow them the opportunity to studyabroad, especially within the 4-year degree. For the rare engineering student whoinvestigated the possibility of studying abroad, s/he faced multiple hurdles, from findingoverseas academic programs (in English or in another language) that would meet his/heracademic requirements to finding faculty who would approve the credit transfer.Fortunately times have changed. Global E3, the largest consortium in engineering forstudy abroad, offers students engineering exchange opportunities in English and in otherlanguages in 17

their career goals.Most importantly, a mentoring environment demonstrates to the learner that s/he “matters” to theinstitution. Rosenberg and McCullough speak of the importance of “mattering” and define it as“a motive – a feeling that others depend upon us, are interested in us, are concerned about ourfate, or experience us as an ego-extension.” 11 Feeling that they “matter” keeps students engagedin their learning. Beal and Noel found that a strong retention factor is the caring attitude of facultyand staff. 2 Within a supportive and caring environment, faculty and peer mentors encourage andprompt struggling students with strategies that enable them to cope with competing demands. Asa result, mentoring is a strong layer of support in an

Although there is a weekly recitationthat all students attend, most of the work consists of a semester-long, mentored research projectcarried out by the team in a participating faculty member's research lab. Twice during the term,the teams report on their research progress in both written and oral formats.Grading is based on a number of factors, including the team's performance in the lab (as judgedby the faculty advisor and mentor), the final oral and written reports, a few homework and in-class assignments, and the team's research journal(s).

This is great news, as women are reaching the level ofeducation where they can benefit from the full range of educational and economic opportunitiesavailable to them. In 1999-2000, 57% of all degrees earned in the U.S. went to women.. If thistrend persists, women will obtain 59% of the bachelor’s degrees by 2010. As indicated in thegraph below (Graph #1), the total number of women enrolled in postsecondary education in theU.S. surpassed the number of men around 1980.
