“standardisation” or “uniformisation” of European higher education.Therefore, the fundamental principles of autonomy and diversity are respected. TheDeclaration recognizes the value of coordinated reforms, compatible systems andcommon action.Erasmus6 ("European Community Action Scheme for the Mobility of UniversityStudents") is another program which seems to be one of the world's largest universityexchange program which is in its 20’s next year. Over a million students have taken partin this rewarding and challenging experience since it began in 1987. It involved over2 000 institutions in more than 30 countries. Erasmus scheme now covers over 90% ofEuropean higher education establishments. Since its modest start it has become hugelysuccessful, broadening
variety of observable events and the certainty of events observed multipletimes. Second, analyzing each session more carefully would refine the understanding of howsession design affects the learning environment. Since analyzing more session and analyzingthem more carefully both increase the analysis time, a more efficient analysis method is needed.Analysis based on multiple reviews of the video recording may provide just such an analysismethod.8.

The results should beof interest to engineering schools and other academic units that are contemplating and/or in theearly stages of implementing non-traditional bachelor degree programs.1. Introduction and Overview of PaperBack in the 1960’s, electrical engineering, computer science, and information systems wereessentially the only computer-related undergraduate programs available to students.9 Thesethree areas were well defined with little, if any, overlap of their

Friedman makes a strong case for the need to better prepare for this marketplace.However, the engineering and engineering education communities were aware ofFriedman’s “Flat World” well before the book was published. In the 1990’s, it had beenobserved that engineering graduates needed improvement in real-world skills such asdesign, teamwork, and communication, as well as a better understanding of howengineering projects fit into bigger pictures2,3. These skills are significantly differentfrom

These time related differences inmaturity and experience level between instructor and student led to a power differential withinthe classroom that faculty in academia rarely experience: “…And so, you know, some folks are receptive, some folks have had -- in some of their jobs have had just a load of experience in this and know way more than you do, and others don't.

, which in this case was 250knots. But most of them apparently thought that it was safe to use the rudder to its full extentright up to that speed - something the plane's designers knew was not the case. In fact, pushingthe rudder first to one extreme and then the other, as was done in Flight 587's case, exposed thevertical tail surface to stresses that were double its design limits. The Airbus A300 and laterA310 do not operate on a fly-by-wire flight control system. They instead use conventionalmechanical flight controls. The action taken by the co-pilot that day on Flight 587 caused thevertical tail surface to separate in flight from the airplane and it was found in Jamaica Bay, about1 mile north of the main wreckage site.
