-specializations within the Biomedical Engineeringdomain for which there are not many programs offering cooperative work experience training [2].A significant amount of interaction with hospital staff such as nurses, clinicians, and facilityengineers is required for a Clinical engineer working at a hospital. Meeting this requirement whilereasonably managing the total number of academic credits severely constrains the available timeto assign practical work experience. Designing courses to adequately train students to meet thedemands of biomedical industrial or clinical settings is difficult.Cooperative work models facilitate the students in exploring realistic aspects of work processes inthe field. On-the-job training truly complements what the students

International transportation concepts and examples impacted the courses andcurriculum. Outside the classroom, the faculty and students shared real-world learningexperiences by observing and questioning together differences in the traffic control, safety andoperations on roads in other countries compared to the US. These experiences shaped facultyand students cultural and historical perspectives, and exposed them to civil engineering practicesin other countries. This allowed the faculty to be a more effective teacher through experiencesgained overseas and civil engineering design examples that can be shared in the classroom
