havepreferences in terms of learning preferences. But despite these differences, students tend tolearn better when working together, and the value of collaborative learning as an alternativeto longer-established teaching methods has been long-acknowledged. With regard toengineering in particular, as Schaeffer et al.[3] put it (referring to engineers across a range ofspecialisations) ‘learning is inherently social, which makes student interaction an importantpart of education’, and alongside the value added by fostering creativity, the engineeringeducator should aim towards activities that encourage interaction, and that recognise thefundamental importance of process over mere product. The ubiquity of the internet meansthat any learning environment will

In addition, hospitals are expensive to build and costly tomaintain and sustain. In many developing countries the cost of modern healthcare services isprohibitively expensive and typically beyond the financial means of those who could directlybenefit from such services. Furthermore, the diagnostics and instruments used in hospitalsrequire a significant amount of electrical power along with the

In some cases those centers are located inengineering colleges, in some cases in other colleges, and in some cases in truly interdisciplinaryorganizations set up to cross internal institutional boundaries (e.g. colleges or departments). Inmost cases the centers are led by graduate faculty, with the natural result that graduate studentsare advised and earn degrees under the auspices of the center, often with the focus of the researchbeing a topic in education, in an engineering context. It is also interesting, although notsurprising, to note that the large majority of these centers are led by women, most of who appearto have been the designer/creator
