Session 3561 Industry and EUROTECH: Partners in International Engineering Education Richard P. Long and Kandace Einbeck University of ConnecticutINTRODUCTION As the U.S. seeks to expand its foreign trade, the need for American engineers capable offunctioning in the global marketplace increases. These engineers must be capable ofunderstanding cultures other than their own and must develop some skills with foreignlanguages. Developing an international engineering program in an English speaking countryrequires considerable analysis. There are many

It is becoming an expected annual event within the school calendar of both universities.B. Importance of the ExchangeFew aspects of life today remain untouched by the global community. Many of the goods andservices, which are an integral part of the fabric of our lives, are influenced by internationalrelationships. American universities have recognized this fact and are responding by using severaldifferent models of international education. Some require a foreign language component in theirprograms, others have chosen to add an international

From Electrons to Neutrons – Blended Engineering Education Marie-Pierre Huguet1, Tom Haley2, and Sehnaz Baltaci-Goktalay3AbstractBlended instruction, a combination of face-to-face and online instruction, is a powerful instructional mode.Its power lies in the significant transfer of responsibility for learning from the instructor to the student. Thisrepresents a significant culture change for students especially for the “typical” engineering student. In thispaper we share the process we followed to redesign Nuclear Phenomena for Engineering Applications(NPEA) to allow for a blended approach. We illustrate the instructional decisions that were made, theirimplementation, and the students’ overwhelmingly positive
