The partnership started by an assessment trip to Kabul by a groupof administrators and faculty members from three major engineering departments, colleges ofArchitecture and Planning and Department of Modern Languages at KSU, on November 2006.Technical issues and the progress in rebuilding Kabul University Engineering Program areaddressed in another paper.

. Although most South Korean students arefamiliar with the term Industry 4.0, they do not seem to have a deep understanding of its conceptand any related training. Tinmaz and Lee [17] conducted a study to assess Korean universitystudents’ readiness level for Industry 4.0. Three of this study’s main conclusions were: 1) veryfew South Korean university students knew about Industry 4.0 and 2) most students lackedfacility with key Industry 4.0 technologies like sensors; 3) South Korean universities have verylimited support for retraining programs and lifetime education [18]. Without educating thecurrent and future workforce, South Korea will face a critical issue as a significant amount ofwork is expected to be replaced by automation [9].Conclusions and

In this track our students take a course in digital fundamentals, followedby a course in embedded microprocessor applications. In this second course we introducemicroprocessor architecture, assembly language, and apply embedded microprocessors tovarious applications with a focus on their use in controls. For the past several years we haveused PIC16C71 and PIC16C84 microcontrollers as the target for these applications because oftheir speed, versatility, and ease of programming.

The students complete the project, submit the work for evaluation, andeveryone on the team receives the same grade at assessment time. The primary problems with thisscenario are twofold. First, the skills required for teamwork are never actually taught. The workof the team is just “expected”. Secondly, everyone on the team receives the same grade eventhough the work was undoubtedly not accomplished equally by each

Although achieving a working model of a project is considered of prime importance, equal importance is given to the development process used to design and implement a project.
