National Taiwan University (NTU). It was implementedduring the Spring and Fall 2012 semesters with a total of 27 students from both universities. Itwas designed around 4-5 projects with lectures and laboratory demonstrations performed by theinstructors (from both sides) to provide necessary background materials for students to carry onsuccessfully with their chosen projects. The major difficulties were the differences in the startdate and duration of the respective courses at each university and prevented our attempt tosynchronize student progress and interaction. The "technical" issues turned out to be easilysolved by each side using similar hardware and software. The instructional materials were sharedvia classroom capture and webcasting

thesepedagogies are being employed in long-standing environments, namely laboratories, research, orinternships…”19, p.33. To promote a more widespread implementation across the departments inour program we sought to bring about changes at a broader curricular level and to introduce thesepedagogies into regular classroom practice. Research has shown that for young adults, such thedesired skills and dispositions are best learned through experiential approaches (Cohen, 1996;Kolb, 1984). 20, 21 We therefore have begun to implement them in a variety of ways as part of anoverarching comprehensive approach to developing in students the needed academic andprofessional skills, and technical know-how, through exposure to what it means to be anengineer.Implementing

the benefits of and motivations for service learningwere surprisingly close to the program intent developed by the faculty. These benefits includeddevelopment of soft skills, application of technical skills and formation of an internationalperspective. This implies that the faculty was successful at developing the itinerary anddelivering the program in a way that achieved these goals. Despite the overall success of the program, the positive impacts reported by the studentswere not linked to the program components as planned by the faculty. Students reportedreceiving the most benefit and most intense learning from their interaction in the village and notin the laboratory and classroom at the foreign university. They also preferred the

, laboratory practices, modeling andsimulation practices, worksheets/spreadsheets) has been developed for the DE course. Its mainaxis is concerned with the modeling of biological, physical or chemical phenomena.Recent research has shown the need to change the way to teach DE, from the “traditional” way,which emphasizes analytical methods, to an integrative mode, which uses graphical andnumerical methods. This integrative mode should enable students to identify and recognize a DEin its different representations; and thus, improve the learning of DEs as mathematical objects.The student should not only learn how to use techniques to solve DEs but also learn theapplication of the DE as a tool to model several problems. This is also strengthened through
