interaction is more collaborative than cooperative, but a higher degree of learning, is reached. Work with the teacher is stressed, as well as the extent of feedback from evaluations.Participation and collaborative learning are the keys of the model: participation is present inall activities carried out by the student. It is extremely importance to determine the value oflabor from each of these activities. The interaction takes the form of the extent ofcollaboration and cooperation generated by the communication process.Motivation is the engine that drives teachers and students to participate actively adding valueto the resources used and developed. It covers the following aspects: (1) the teachermotivation influences the student

These insights come from observing teams in FIRST LEGOleague. Less effective teams do not communicate—members seem to keep objections tothemselves, leaving problems un-addressed. Teams that do well are open with each other andfocused on the task that they have at hand. Kids in FLL experience firsthand the various styles ofteamwork in a technical environment, giving them many years to develop their own approachbefore entering into the professional world.Communication From a coach’s perspective in FIRST LEGO League, a constant

With a few notable exceptions, the vast majority of U.S. institutions have opted for thelatter option – again, a significant reason that internationalization statistics in engineering lag sofar behind other disciplines [1]. The consortia described in this paper represent attractive, newoptions on this spectrum, a hybrid between direct partnerships and large third-party providers.The advantages of such arrangements have been discussed above.In essence, the consortium concept offers many of the advantages of direct partnerships, butavoids the enormous “cost-of

Engineering Rome is (1) a multi-level, course (i.e., appropriate for Freshmanthrough graduate students) designed to foster peer learning, and (2) the final project is a guidedchoice work activity with the instructor serving in the role of Montessori’s “directress.” WhileMontessori’s writings generally concern early aged learning (and not college students), we feltthere was substantial evidence that these ideas would be beneficial.

The authors divide competencies in terms of technical(specific), and attitudinal (generic), all having a direct influence in the motivation of anindividual to act and respond to different situations. When the profile based on this model, eachof the elements of the profile were disaggregated and classified among seven (7) technicalcompetencies and three (3) attitudinal ones.The technical skills and techniques that industrial engineering interns must master and applybased on the graduation profile learning outcomes are:1.

Data has shown the minorities, students receiving federal aid, andfirst generations students are less likely to participate in study abroad programs [6].

An online application was open to students from allacademic disciplines that were not graduating in 2014, though given the technical nature of thesummer program, students from STEM majors were preferred. Application questions focused ontechnical skills and courses taken, prior international travel, language skills, and desire toparticipate in the summer program.
