In this internationalproject semester, known as European Project Semester (EPS), which is located in the ExportEngineering department at the Engineering College of Copenhagen, Denmark we long agochose the project-based learning/teaching method in order to achieve our goals. Through thismethod we have found that it encourages students to involve themselves and to takeresponsibility for their own learning. It gives students time and chances to use their acquiredknowledge and to find new sources of information. In this way they develop a range of softand hard professional skills needed, such as teamwork skills and transferable and enablingskills required by the profession. In the text below is described

The smart grid willutilize digital information technology to create a more efficient, reliable and responsive networksthat are flexible [2]. With faster and new technologies in communication and computerincorporated into the system operation, a new attitude has been created in the power industry,especially in the field of power system control and demand side management. Communicationcapability is one of the potential benefits for digital relays, which communicate not only with acontrol center, but with each other in a two-way format. This in turn will facilitate the overallsystem-wide protection and control philosophy. The

;summer programs1. IntroductionIn the rapidly evolving landscape of education, STEM (science, technology, engineering, andmathematics) has emerged as a cornerstone for fostering critical thinking, innovation, andproblem-solving skills. As societies increasingly rely on technological advancements andinnovations to tackle complex challenges, the cultivation of a proficient and competent generationbecomes imperative. To this end, the utilization of engaging summer programs at Texas A&MUniversity at Qatar represents a pivotal strategy in preparing the next generation of STEM pioneersin the region. In recent years, there has been significant growth in STEM education in Qatar,marked by the introduction of several innovative models [1-8]. This paper

regulations in the U.S. system than they do in Canada10. This distinction is often hard to appreciate for individual engineers (especially those engineers intraining (engineering students) that we work with every day). For them, a regulation is a regulation regardlessof its origin. However, there is often some leverage to be found in reminding engineers that these regulationswere not imposed upon them by some outside, non-engineering body. They were, instead imposed upon themby other engineers, who, having decided what they want to require from their profession, have imposed uponprofessional engineers certain legal requirements. Thus, there is an argument to be made that the requirementthat “ethics and equity” and the “impact of technology on

Forthe second of the two days, the mentors relocated to an area several hundred yards away (closeenough in case of an emergency, but far enough away that the students felt like they were alone),and allowed the students to use their own knowledge, skills, experience, and wits to overcomeany problem that arose.

The role of the evaluator is to raise questions surroundingmechanisms for meaningfully involving diverse groups in the process of constructing andunderstanding of what the project should do and actually does, and documenting itsaccomplishments. A second underlying philosophical assumption is the need for an interactiverelationship between the evaluators and the stakeholders for deeper understandings of diverseperspectives to emerge.

complexity? This is an important question because real,important problems are always complicated. This course allows students to recognize andappreciate the emergent properties that evolve from real complex systems. The ResearchMethods course asks the question: How do I ask the right questions? Another way to ask this is:How do I gather the right information? In today’s world of information overload, the ability toproperly gather, analyze and critically think about the right information is paramount.

Most of the learningthat results in the expertise of the practicing scientist, engineer, or poet is accomplishedthrough hands and minds on a task. Just think of the contrast between the activities ofapprentices in a workshop and the passivity of pupils in a lecture hall.If we refocus our efforts on learning, professors can exploit information technology toprovide data, scholarly references, and simulated problems for cognitive workshops. Inthose workspaces, student investigators will work side by side with faculty. Togetherthey will learn to create, evaluate, improve, and

The goal of the project is to evaluate the use of pervaporation technology in a greenengineering role for sustainable process design. To meet this objective, student teams need toinvestigate the use of organic solvents (which will be eventually recovered and purified bypervaporation) in the chemical process industry. This could come from examining theproduction of a pharmaceutical, specialty or commodity chemical, or petrochemical product.Students are asked to get basic process design information, such as they would find in the Kirk-Othmer
