fewlives” 1. However, flight simulation for engineering training in an academic environment is arelatively recent development 6. It is maintained that “there is little detailed information onhow flight simulators have been implemented in coursework, how effective they are inlearning improvement, or how this has been assessed” 6 (p.429). Accordingly, the aim of thispaper is to describe and compare the learning outcomes of two teaching paradigms of anaeronautical engineering course on aircraft dynamics and control - the airborne flightlaboratory and a more ‘contained’ learning environment – the Aviation Studio.The Flight LaboratoriesThe airborne flight laboratory was conducted in a specially instrumented Cessna 182RG lightaircraft (Figure 1).

Inaddition to trade, both the U.S. and Japan have the largest foreign direct investment (FDI)outflows of all developed countries; they also now both use FDI income to help counter tradedeficits [1].Japan and the U.S. more than ever need to attract, motivate, and retain larger numbers ofengineering students for developing innovations for global organizations. The organizationaluse of innovation leads to productivity gains which, in turn, leads to greater nationaleconomic prosperity [2]. This interpretive study presents and applies a framework forunderstanding best practices experienced in Japan so that engineering education acrossborders can be more successful [3].We next present a literature review of knowledge sharing and

practicalapplications in real-world engineering, where student perform problem solving, design,manufacturing, and testing of products, and the program coordinators train the students in CADtools and 3D printing technology. Students begin by learning manufacturing and rapid prototype processing using the 3Dprinter. To capture the imagination of middle school students and build interest inmanufacturing, students sketch and design a useful object that will be made using a 3D printer.Opportunities are introduced to allow students to create, refine, and/or assemble a number ofitems, giving their work an end result they can hold in their hands.

-tainable socio-economic development includes improvement of quality of life, economic growth, science,technology, education, healthcare, culture, ecology and responsible resource management [1]. A new par-adigm of engineering education is being developed. Its specific feature is the transition from “knowledgetransfer” learning and teaching methods to the practice-oriented continuous education based on funda-mental theoretical contents. Therefore, Russian higher education faces a challenge of providing qualityassurance and world recognition of Russian educational system, particularly through training of elite spe-cialists and teams of professionals based on the outcome based approach [2].2 Quality Assurance ToolsThe quality of specialists

’ knowledge of andviews concerning contents and concepts related to engineering ethicsAbstract: A study was conducted concerning Chinese engineering students’ knowledge of andopinions about contents and concepts related to engineering ethics. The study was motivated byconcerns regarding 1. the ethical standards of Chinese industries/engineers and their increasinglyglobal presence 2. the nature of engineering ethics research/education in China and feasibility ofintroducing Western curricula for engineering ethics, and 3. general effectiveness of education inethical training, based on findings in behavioral ethics and moral psychology. To address theseconcerns, a survey was adapted from a study previously conducted by Robert McGinn, atStanford

teaching.IntroductionEngineering is increasingly seen as a global, international field. As such, one sees an increasing numberof international collaborations in teaching undergraduate engineering. There are many examples ofinternational teaching initiatives found within the ASEE conference proceedings. (See for example,papers by Jaselskis, Liu, Parsaei, Fayez, and their colleagues.1-4) This paper describes a novel teachingpartnership between two university engineering departments in Australia and China.Wuhan University of Science and Technology5 (WUST) is a public university providing formal highereducation courses and programs in Wuhan, Hubei Province, the People’s Republic of China (figure 1).In 2012, Deakin University6 (Deakin) and WUST agreed to establish a
