developed newcourses for these programs to heighten the students’ experiences in transportation engineeringwhile abroad. International transportation concepts and examples impacted the courses andcurriculum. Outside the classroom, the faculty and students shared real-world learningexperiences by observing and questioning together differences in the traffic control, safety andoperations on roads in other countries compared to the US. These experiences shaped facultyand students cultural and historical perspectives, and exposed them to civil engineering practicesin other countries. This allowed the faculty to be a more effective teacher through experiencesgained overseas and civil engineering design examples that can be shared in the classroom

Sabbaticalexperience and its impact on faculty and student development are presented.Keywords: Internationalization, Study-Abroad, Global Explorer Program, Sabbatical Exchange1.0 Introduction and BackgroundThe Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) places a high value on the international studyexperience – in fact it is part of the eleven outcomes that accredited civil engineering programsare expected to integrate into their curricula. As early as 1995, well before the AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology (ABET) established these eleven criteria, the Departmentof Civil Engineering and Construction (CEC) at Bradley University recognized the significanceof the international experience on
-faceted knowledge interchanges, which leads to the appearance of interesting ideas and suggestions at various specialization interfaces. This experience give me an opportunity and successfulness of trainings the formation and development of creativity and inventive ability, skills, and tools. During such trainings a synergy of interactions with me as a teacher and students leads also to my intellectual enrichment both at the expense of new special knowledge and extension of my own store of techniques and ways of solving atypical problems.Dr. Lev Vadimovich Redin, Kazan National Research Technological University, Russia Ph.D. in Engineering, Dr. of Engineering and Educational Sciences, Cand.

The desire for the GraduateSchool and the PROMISE AGEP to provide students with information started in 2011, where theseminar “Preparing for Global Leadership: Cultural Competence Connections with InternationalGrad Students & Colleagues” allowed participants to understand how being culturally competentprovides a role in mentoring and in forming relationships with professors and peers.

and Alignment of Electrical and Information Engineering in European Higher Education InstitutionsIntroductionMobility, recognition, Lifelong Learning (LLL), and accreditation are very important keywordsfor Europe, and also beyond Europe. Global educational policy is to encourage mobility ofpeople, workers and citizens, during their studies and during their professional lives. The generalobjective of the Lifelong Learning Programme in Europe is to contribute through lifelonglearning to the development of the European countries inside European Union (EU) as anadvanced knowledge-based society, with sustainable economic development, more and betterjobs and greater social cohesion, while ensuring good protection of the environment for
progress of the faculty and teaching methods which are used in order to workwith adults.BackgroundWhile Russia was part of the Soviet Union, it was a "closed" country with limitedinternational contacts where education and science developed successfully thoughindependently. In science, there were a large number of journals in the Russian language, andthe conferences which were held in the Soviet Union, were only in the Russian language. Intechnical and engineering education, all the textbooks and manuals were in Russian, eitherwritten by the Soviet scientists, or translated into Russian from other languages. The latterwas true for very few textbooks, e.g. textbooks in physical chemistry by Peter Atkins(Oxford). English language teaching, especially
