This case study from India demonstrates how universities and institutions of higherlearning in India can ensure globalization of their academic programs, teaching and learningprocess and provide an experiential learning to students in a cross-cultural environment. Animportant step in the process is to have national and international recognition of the academicprograms so that institutions and educators can be confident that their students will have asuccessful academic experience as well as a successful cultural experience. Flexibility inscheduling is also required to accommodate differences in the academic calendars. This paperpresents how one private

Curricula for in-class lectures should highlight real world applications, and laboratories should serve to furtherenhance the understanding through physical models. Furthermore, engineering laboratoriesshould teach the necessary skills that an engineer should possess such as: the ability to properlyuse instrumentation, create models, conduct an experiment, analyze data, and ultimately design4.Additionally, a student should develop a deeper understanding of safety, communication,teamwork, and ethics5.

While extending one’s specialized (Ph.D. level) knowledge to a broader problem can provide new and nontraditional approaches, it is more likely to not lead to a successful result. The same applies at the departmental level.

To the extent practical we use the senior design sequence as anopportunity for a true undergraduate research experience. By directing senior design studentsinto the physics research laboratories, we align the teaching mission with the research interestsof the faculty thereby reducing the natural tension that exists in faculty at research universitiesbetween research and teaching.

laboratory environments. To give an example, theeducational laboratory equipment favorably utilized in mechanical vibrations and control theorycourses is tailored with custom software and data acquisition systems to implement inputs and recordoutput data. This inhibits students’ understanding of signal flow and data recording. Consequently,students struggle to replicate similar tasks using low-cost alternatives to actuate the mechanisms ordesign a controller to accomplish desired tasks. To address this problem, we collected feedback fromundergraduate mechanical engineering students enrolled in mechanical vibrations (junior level) andcontrol theory courses (senior level) to assess their confidence levels and proficiency inprogramming, identifying
