In this study, and toextrapolate its conclusions, certain characteristics of an internship program and of the students’ status andexperience apply. An “effective internship” as used in this study is characterized by:a. Completing the internship assignment(s) is an integral component of the engineering degree program andconstitutes a significant educational objective of the program;b.

As mentioned earlier, the activities of international cooperation can be classified into three categories: personalexchanges, holding seminars/participating conferences, and conducting research projects. Although these activitiesdon’t necessarily act in any sequence, coordinating these activities closely improves the dissemination of the resultsof international cooperation. Building up individual connection through personnel exchange and then progressinginto cooperation of researchers to reach consensus for further collaboration is the most common collaborative modelfor most researchers.

Everyday Problem Solving in Engineering: Lessons for Educators1 David Jonassen, Johannes Strobel, Chwee Beng Lee University of Missouri/Concordia University/Nanyang Technology University Many engineering programs have integrated problem-based learning (PBL) into their instruction. Quite often, the problems that are solved in PBL programs are not authentic. In order to develop more authentic problems that are required to prepare engineering graduates to solve complex, ill-structured workplace problems, we developed a case library of engineering problems as described by practicing engineers. The qualitative analysis of those stories showed that workplace problems are ill

The project-based learning isextensively being used for teaching engineering design through capstone or senior designcourses. This is partly due to requirements of accreditation bodies [2].Considering the fact that teaching and research are two most important functions of highereducation systems, the integration of them has been an attractive idea. However, as reported byHealey [4], there are strong feeling among academicians on relationship between research andteaching.
