objectives were achieved. 4.1 Student learning assessment mechanismENGR 290 is a full credit course, just like any other Bucknell course, and students wereevaluated with multiple assessment instruments. The course syllabus specified studentperformance evaluation as follows: • Professionalism and Active Participation 25% • Presentations 35% • Journals 20% • Term Paper 20%Since the course takes place on the road, in a foreign country, professionalism is an extremelyimportant element. The syllabus spelled out eight specific areas of “professionalism” a studenthad to follow in order to succeed in the course. These included being on-time, respecting others,being responsible, and contributing to the team and the course, among others

The reformed curriculum of 2011 includessubject courses with a total of 100 to 110 hours, depending on the engineering program13. It hasto be mentioned, that in the Austrian education system for everyone at a VET college about 15hours of mathematics and applied mathematics and 10 hours of physics and science arecompulsory, in addition to the engineering program. In total, 175 hours are basis of the reformedengineering syllabus. Page 21.41.3Not all discipline have their syllabus reformed at present, some have

instruments’ rotation. Depending on human resources, the number ofinstruments, and the prior performance of students, one can execute the syllabus byinterchangeably administering one computer modeling lab and one experimental laboratory, orrun through all the computer modeling labs first, then use a cyclic rotation of 2- or 3-studentgroups per instrument for all instruments. Fig. 2 (TOP) the list of modeling labs realized in the first six weeks of the semester. (BOTTOM) rotation of the three-member student teams through the instrumentation A hybrid nature of this lab program is dictated by the need to have three chemistrycourses for BME majors in our BME curriculum, as this course and its lab are preceded by theGeneral Chemistry for
