This helps tointernalize theory easily and to solidify it in practice. Later on this materials given at thelectures is repeated and trained at translation practicums. Learning any second language has not only applied (communicational), but alsoeducational goal, personal and cultural development of a student. Second language acquisitiondeals with speaking, reading, listening comprehension, writing and translation. All there skillsare developed at the language practicums. Having graduated from the course the students areable to read, footnote, review and

, it is mandatory to disseminate new knowledge in addition to thetraditional fundaments and to help students to develop their capabilities in order toguaranty better professional practice and more sustainable societies. U.Porto and FEUPhave been following discussions and significant efforts have been made for promotingteacher professional development since the late nineties in order to guaranty newteaching/learning methodologies and initiatives to promote students skills in groupwork, in cooperation with others, in decision-making processes, in leadership, ininterdisciplinary group integration, in intercultural experiences exchange, in society andas responsible for future sustainability 4.Problem-based learning (PBL) is a model developed at

),electrical engineering (EE), mechanical engineering (ME), or software engineering (SE).However, as an inherently multidisciplinary activity, no single discipline provides the breadthdemanded by robotics in the future. Realizing this, universities are now starting to offerundergraduate and graduate degrees in robotics. Worldwide, there are now approximately 10undergraduate programs and an equal number of graduate programs in robotics. Note that theintellectual basis for Robotics Engineering is integration – it is fundamentally a systemsengineering major that is grounded in CE, CS, EE, ME and SE. As such, it is well-positioned toeducate the “entrepreneurial/enterprising engineer” of the 21st century, the engineer who 1)knows everything, 2) can do

However, current graduates are poor atreport writing (as are graduates in general) and have less grasp “fundamental” than those ofearlier generations.Student-staff ratios have consistently increased to the point where the ratio is approximately athird high than internationally accepted norms for comparable engineering schools 18.“Australian engineering academics are under considerable pressure to favour research overteaching, and to undertake high administrative loads” and “there is inadequate provision ofeducational training, professional development, incentives and rewards for improvingengineering teaching and undertaking engineering education research” 18.In

has made many pioneering contributions to aqueous processing research and technology. He and his coworkers presented the most comprehensive set of aqueous stability diagrams for hydrometal- lurgical processing (including ammonia and cyanide leaching systems, where they are used in industrial operating manuals). He is a world leader on the interfacial aspects of dissolution and solvent extraction. He and his students made seminal contributions to microemulsion-mediated synthesis of nanoparticles. His research work has been recognized by several awards, including election to the National Academy of Engineering (2004), for ”contributions to the fundamental understanding of interfacial phenomena in leaching and solvent
