In 2008, France implemented new science education standard“the new curriculum for primary school”[10], including discovery-oriented curriculum forprimary students, experiment-oriented for junior high students, and integration-orientedcurriculum for senior-high students. Japan's recent education reform was in 2008, with afocus on emphasizing scientific inquiry methods and life-related problem solving activities.At the 2013 Global STEMx Education Conference, Finland, Australia, New Zealand andother countries have participated to discuss science education for new era.

. Withoutviolating the curriculum, I inserted key concepts of Asian ethics into my lectures. Withinnumerable religions and sects in non-Christian religions, I was content to point out the manysimilarities in morality-based ethics and in most social and professional situations. But I wascareful to avoid dogma and contrasts, particularly of attitudinal differences. Hereinafter when I refer to individuals with the male pronoun, I will be implying the femalecounterpart, except when the context is gender specific.2.

unique from these examples in that they are a collection of many elements andfrequently operate on an open use principle. These approaches help create communities thatfocus on discovery, design, and collaboration.The academic makerspace concept is not limited to engineering programs but rather extendsacross the college campus. The diversity of users, ranging from engineers to artists toeconomists, produces a rich pool of talent that can lead to creative solutions. Given theirhistorical roots of machine shops and engineering design projects, many institutions base theirmakerspaces within engineering programs, but make the facilities open to the entire campuscommunity.

Since the cross-institutional evaluationis still on-going, we can only provide a small segment of the cross-institutional results. Part IIattempts to explain why those results may have come out the way they did for URI – what kind ofinternational programming inherent in the engineering curriculum at URI may differentiate it fromothers in the sample? The main set-up and design of international engineering programming at theuniversity will be described as background in front of which the NSF results ought to be examined.Within the context of part II we will furthermore present the outcome of an IDI assessment usedfor a short-term travel course in
