Engineer Education Program” waslaunched in 2011. It is a four-year undergraduate program, and upon completion, a certificate ofa second major is to be given. Both KIT and RHIT student participants attend special jointlectures and participate in joint project work in addition to required language courses and specialsubject courses at their own institutions. The joint lectures by the guest speakers who themselveshave global work experiences are delivered through a web conference system and held aboutonce every three months. The joint projects are composed of two types: Type A and Type B. TypeA is a video-conference project in which students of both institutions stay in their own institution,form one joint team, and work together by communicating
between stages (eg. A-> B) as shown in thefollowing figure8,9,10,33: Figure 2: Modeling Schema8,9,10,33This proposal explicitly incorporates two important elements: the inclusion of a physical domainwhich is modeled (probably an extra-mathematical, biological, or chemical domain) and theimportance given to the pseudo-concrete domain32 as the difficult transition for students but keyin the modeling process (real model). It is important to note that the mathematical model isunderstood as the different graphical representations of the ED: solution graph, the DE itself asan analytical model, and a table of data that can eventually be modeled by a DE and / or itssolution.The literature analysis has made it clear that

What has just been described is the“standard” version of the EPSA; the method and rubric are flexible, allowing for multiple Page 21.2.4implementation variations ranging from on-line group discussions to individual multi-weekprojects. Appendix A shows a sample performance task. Appendix B shows the EPS Rubric.Research goal and questionsThe primary goal of this research project is to establish the validity and reliability of

Research directed to the establishing and expanding the body of knowledge for enterprise-based approaches to poverty reduction should be guided by the principles as outlined in the strategy of GlobalResolve or similarly rigorous methodology. a. Both applied and fundamental research directed to the solution of problems should be continuously reviewed and critically evaluated by team members to assess the broad impact and applicability of new technologies and procedures. b. The entire team benefits greatly from an understanding of the capabilities and limitations of the fundamental research and from each other. 3. Academic institutions educate and grant credentials

limited time available. The instructor had decided that before embarkingon the project the students should first be exposed to the process chemistry tools noted above.This meant the assignment was presented to the students in the last week of the 3-week course.One of the lessons learned is that it will be more productive to give this assignment on day 1 ofthe course. The general scientific and engineering competences acquired at the BS level, shouldhave prepared them to start items a, b, and c in the assignment.The students also struggled with the “this is not my field” syndrome. Parts a-c of the assignmentrequired exploration of the geological and mineral engineering literatures. Aside from the
