The NSF-ATE project goals are: 1) augment and reorganize existing electrical andmechanical engineering technology courses into thirty-two enhanced modules at three differenttiers, 2) incorporate experiential learning in each module level so that the modules aremeaningful and practical, and 3) incorporate innovative delivery of lecture and laboratorymaterials. The innovative aspects of this project are: a) meet student learning needs based on theirdiverse educational background, b) provide multiple delivery options, c) complete modules(rather than courses) to receive college credit(s) or certificate(s), and d) provide

For each module,students tackle a practical, complex but well-designed, problem(s) to solve, employing just-in-time discovery of principles in a cooperative-learning environment. The class motto is "thinkbetter and retain more". The first two modules are, to a large extent, the largest and mostextensive as concepts encountered there are extended to the other modules. The instructor firstintroduces the application, followed by the students setting initial desired objectives (power andefficiency) of the problem.

For instance, Vakkai et al.'s research has shownthat international students' cultural backgrounds and values cannot be ignored, and havingadvisors who are more attuned to these aspects can significantly impact an individual's academicsuccess [6].
