Along with innovation, we should introduceour students the skills of setting and understanding standards, which are critical to governthe designs and implementations of new technologies. Associated with standardsdevelopment, it is also important to train our students with quality control and qualityassurance skills to ensure compliance with the standards we set.Yet a third aspect that is essential to keep us competitive is the collaboration betweenuniversities and industry. First of all, industry can help identify those skills that are vitalfor keeping the competitiveness of engineering and technology professionals.

In such a program, students from universities in the UnitedStates can spend significant time working in research groups at foreign universities andstudents from other countries can spend time doing the same at a university in the U.S.An appropriate time for this activity would be in the summer after the junior year ofstudy. With modest funding from industry and/or foundations, a summer researchprogram can be established to provide meaningful international experience to a numberof students.Introduction The explosive growth in computing and communication has revolutionized theway we work and live

Department of Applied Electronics and Information Engineering (e-mail: nicudrag@artelecom.net)Abstract Today, information - rather than labor or capital - is becoming the key factor inproduction. Thus, the actual so-called “Post-Industrial Society” is the Information Society,whose fundamentals are Information Science and Information Technology. In this paper, anattempt is made to outline the epistemological1 approach of information concept withindifferent disciplines as well as the need of a general higher education in Information Science.Problem solving, decision-making and paperwork reducing are some of most frequentinformation processes currently involving engineers and managers in multi-disciplinaryteams

Since theyare the repositories of culture, knowing them enables us to gain perspective” (Allan, 2009, pg.368).5 Therefore, interaction among students with differing native tongues provides invaluableopportunities to improve their language skills and cultural awareness simultaneously.

The approach helps a group of stakeholdersdescribe their ideas on a particular topic by representing these ideas in a two-dimensional space[11] [20]. At its core, it employs a participatory framework to aid collaborative description andexploration, while balancing systematic inquiry with respect to the ideas of the stakeholdersthrough a systematic and stepwise process. This framework and approach to research involves adiverse range of participants from educational institutions, communities, industry, etc., andeventually leads to a solution. A mixed methods approach to data collection, analysis,representation, and interpretation in turn adds to the overall value of the inquiry process [21].This

The advancement of these two procedural improvements arefixed and typically segregated within academia, whose structure and programs often failto address the collaborative problems inherent within the professional practices of thebuilding industry.

In the case of the TUD students,there are no open periods other than a few weeks between the semesters. It will therefore notbe possible for the students to complete the traditional TUD BSME industry internship. TheTUD BSME students do not earn academic credits for this internship, because while it is recog-nized as a substantial real-life engineering experience, its content cannot be effectively qualityassured by the TUD faculty.
