Nigerian universities. One ofthese programs is at the Federal University of Nigeria at Owerri (FUTO), and was established in2009; the other program is at the School of Biomedical Engineering Technology, Ahmadu BelloUniversity, in Zaria, and was established in 19933. These programs are designed primarily “totrain qualified technical experts to manage and maintain hospital equipment and systems,”according to materials from UI, and accordingly the program at FUTO is a Bachelor ofTechnology in Biomedical Engineering (http://www.nigerianbme.org/nibefutolinkage.html).FUTO also has MS and PhD programs in Biomedical Engineering Technology3.While educational programs in BME are rare, Nigeria does have the Nigerian Institute forBiomedical Engineering (NIBE
= Required, E = Elective, *Electrical Engineering requires Technical Writing; however, it is taught in conjunctionwith the senior capstone design course and students must register for the designated section of the course.In addition to ensuring the programs offered could be integrated in the curricula and wererelevant to students, it was important to ensure the offerings were sustainable. The willingnessand availability of faculty to teach courses each summer was a main concern. To alleviate thisconcern we only considered courses that had multiple instructors on campus who would bewilling to teach overseas. Our second consideration was location. We wanted to choosedestinations that would be appealing to students and their parents and where we would

Graduates manage resources and work with effectiveness, initiative, creativity, and within teams
2016 ASEE International ForumTriple-Helix and International Collaboration to Design and Implement anOutcomes Based Engineering Curriculum to Better Serve Stakeholders in Valparaíso, ChileAbstractFollowing an approach that has been pursued by many engineering programs that areoutcomes based accredited, this paper describes the process of designing and implementingthe curricula in the College of Engineering of the Universidad de Valparaíso in Chile, using abackwards design approach and also focusing on addressing stakeholders’ needs throughstudents’ outcomes. Driven by the Chilean government through funding from MINEDUC (itseducational development branch), this University has undertaken the task to completelyrevamp its
and the United States of America to be able to manage programs Page 2in engineering education in Myanmar. Therefore, the engineering education system ofMyanmar started to change from British system to US System but it was not as strong yet.However, an inconsistency between education systems had arisen since then. After gaining independence in 1948, most of the scholars were sent to technologicaluniversities in the United States of America. When they came back, the engineeringeducation system was changed from the British system to the US system. Since the caretaker government gained power in 1957, the scholars were sent to EastEuropean countries such as Russia, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia

His main focus is the replicability of software repository data analysis. He furthermore is involved in various teaching activities, for example as a teaching assistant in a soft- ware engineering lecture. There he is responsible for organizing an exercise that has all 80 students of the lecture develop a single system in a joint effort. Furthermore, he is responsible for organizing the ME310/SUGAR lecture (http://sugar-network.org) at the EPIC chair and also serves as a teacher in that course.Dr. Matthias Uflacker, Hasso
. At [my internship] I worked with pretty young like 30’s people and then people on the top like my boss. I had to work with American managers and Japanese managers and clients all over [the world]. (Miguel) On my resume I have knowledge of AutoCAD and, yes, I learned that from my engineering degree [program] but I really (emphasis added) learned it from my summer internship when I worked with my mentor doing some CAD projects with AutoCAD mechanical. When you’re doing an AutoCAD design a lot of shapes are already built into the program so you’re creating the design for the electrical person to follow. It’s cool because I learned how to build the basic components myself. (Alexis)While
