The project described herein, in the field ofElectrical and Information Engineering, was aimed at fostering interchange, cooperation andmobility between education and training systems within the EU so that they become a qualityreference.ELLEIEC ProjectELLEIEC project consisted of three main parts:1.

at technical and engineering universities, wasaimed at reading and translating foreign publications. This approach, however, was shared atthat time by many European scholars [1]. The communicative approach [2] also entered theRussian educational system in the late 20th century, however, it did not spread everywhere.Moreover, there were very few native English language speakers in the faculty and thusopportunities to practice communication skills were limited to major cities like Moscow andSt. Petersburg. Furthermore the Russian language was used for communication in science andeducation in all the socialist countries. The result was that neither students nor faculty had areal need for English language proficiency

providing students with “opportunities toexperience how science is done” (NAS, 2012; p. 1) and encouraging them to focus on“modeling, developing explanations, and engaging in critique and evaluation” (NAS, 2012;p. 41). Not only can collaborative design-based projects faithfully enact authentic science and Page 21.34.2engineering practices, they have also been shown to help students reach a deeper understandingof the concepts (Crismond, 2001; Fortus et al, 2004; Kolodner, 2006; Sadler, Coyle & Schwartz,1991), gain theory-building, argumentation, and collaboration skills (Fortus et al, 2005;Kolodner, 2003; Mehalik, Doppelt & Schunn, 2008

About half of the participants indicated they would advise a colleague to advise off campus prior to tenure; the other half indicated that “it depends” on factors such as based on progress toward tenure. Off-campus project advisors described a wide range of benefits to teaching and advising, research, and the institution, as illustrated by the following quotes. o Understanding students: “I really learned a great deal about [student] abilities…I was able to connect with the students on a level which I

2030, urban areas will be the home for more than 60% of the world’s 8 billion people. Figure1 shows the projected world population. This will create tremendous pressures in the form of Figure 1: Projected World Population Growth23pollution, congestion, energy security, and traffic safety. This will also challenge a publicinfrastructure that is already struggling to meet the growing demand for transportation and basicservices. The megacities will be so dense that the space for the traditional car will rapidlydecline. With population increases, global warming, depletion of natural resources, and vastlyimproved connected networks, the transportation and automotive industries are currently seekingsolutions to these
