Theacademic strength of VSU lies in their deep theoretical education. This is primarily due to theminimal amount of funding available for expensive, modern laboratory equipment. Since VSUhas such deep roots in theoretical education, the practical application portion of the project is ofparticular interest to the Russians. The strength of CMU is in the availability of advancedlaboratory equipment and the practical application of technical education to realistic problems inindustryAn important aspect of these projects, other than the obvious technical

All GTAsreceived four hours of professional development (PD) training prior to the start of the Fall 2007semester. The PD focused on several aspects: connecting engineering practice to teaching, theMEA pedagogy, audience information (first-year engineering students), and practical issues ofMEA implementation and assessment14.
