Teachers have developed new teaching materials, which are nowwidely used in the educational process and mainly in the training of high school teachers. Neweducational technologies used in the implementation of programs are successfully incorporated intoin the main educational process. Among them – lectures given by foreign partners of the project, inperson as well as in the form of video lectures, audio presentations, recurring to pools of knowledgefrom the client enterprises' and program partners' databases; in-built consulting, etc. Thepreparatory work also includes

One of the most effective ways of providing our students these learning experiencesis through education abroad opportunities. Yet less than 4% of US engineering students studyabroad and there has been little growth in the past two years1. It is also well established that experiential, project/problem-based learning with an emphasison acquiring new knowledge and applying and integrating previous knowledge can be veryeffective structures for enhancing student learning2. These structures engage students in open-ended, ambiguous, authentic activities; and usually involve teams. It is learning that goes
