Paper ID #8379Invited Paper - The iLab-Europe Initiative: Exploiting Possibilities Createdby a Network of Shared Online LaboratoriesMr. Danilo Garbi Zutin P.E., Carinthia University of Applied Sciences Danilo Garbi Zutin has graduated in electrical engineering at the State University of Sao Paulo (UN- ESP, Brazil, and obtained his Master degree in Systems Design (specialization in Remote Systems) at the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences in Villach, Austria. His research interests are in the field of remote engineering, online labs, remote control of devices and software development for online labs. Danilo Garbi
the last ten years he has coordinated an inter-disciplinary capstone design program that involves faculty and graduate student mentors from mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, biological & agricultural engineering, and computer science. This two semester design experience with external clients from across the region is the locus of numerous professional skill assessments that have Page 21.2.1 been part of larger national research efforts, such as the one described in this paper. Dr. Beyerlein also plays an active role in a variety of vehicle design and engine testing projects within the
.35Yet to what extent are facets of cross-cultural technical coordination reflected in the lists ofattributes reviewed above? While not explicitly described, professional capabilities in relatedareas such as communication, leadership, teamwork, and project management are sometimesmentioned.20 Other writers are more explicit about the cross-cultural dimensions of suchattributes, as reflected in Mohtar and Dare’s assertion that global engineers be able to “adapt tocultural norms in the professional arena and act appropriately,” “communicate professionally in aculturally-appropriate manner,” and “contribute to a culturally-diverse team.”22 Ball et al.mention a number of similar attributes, with particular emphasis on multicultural teamwork.21Allan
programs.Students may graduate with a strong grasp of the technical knowledge necessary to pursue acareer in engineering, but little awareness of how engineering projects impact the social fabric ofthe community in which they are erected. Many students, too, enter engineering, technology,and construction programs with little knowledge of the global applications their degrees canoffer. The Global Solutions curriculum at Indiana University Purdue University of Indianapolis(IUPUI) is designed to expand student outlooks by bringing together students of variousacademic and cultural backgrounds in a multidisciplinary program that explores not only thetechnical solutions to global development issues, but the social and cultural context in whichsuch solutions must

Since then many different types of PBL approaches appeared and U.Portoand FEUP have been following attentively new trends on innovative curricula based inPBL model, as is the case of Problem Based Learning used at Aalborg University(Denmark) since 1974, Project-Based Curriculum at Rowan University (USA) since1996, and since 2003 greatly improved by its Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship,created “combining practitioners and researchers from multiple disciplines indeveloping entrepreneurial activities” where “Rowan University can build aneducational curriculum and a support system that will greatly enhance the
? In his book “Collaborate!”,Sanker2 discussed and showed that collaboration is “doable and critical to success”. Baker-Doyle3 described how teachers (especially new ones) can develop their Intentional ProfessionalNetworks for support. Research by Stump et al.4 indicated that collaborative learning strategieshelped students increase their self-efficacy in learning course materials. In the area of roboticseducation, Ren et al.5 surveyed over twelve syllabi from different universities and suggested a Page 21.24.2problem/project based approach to foster creativity and insight about robotics in students. Otherresearchers also concurred in this
students with: opportunities to work and interact with teams of differentexpertise and nationalities, explicit instruction and courses on communication skills,understanding of the system level thinking (organization level), and explicit teaching on skillsrelated to engineering projects such as problem solving, resolving conflicts, time management,idea creation and presentation to different audience levels.

New scientific and engineering discovery are pushingthe boundary of engineering applications, particularly in complex systems andinterdisciplinary engineered solutions. This scenario presents many new challenges forengineering organizations in that one project for new autonomous gold mine may start withpreliminary design in London (UK) with German-trained engineers, then developed furtherwith detailed design in Houston (Texas) with a mix of US and Brazilian-trained engineers,and followed by design validation and verification in Singapore with a mix of British andAsian-trained engineers, and project managed by Australasian-trained engineers during theconstruction phases in Laos, all within
