On the other hand, the report of Computing Community Consortium2 identifies robotics as a“key economic enabler”, considering that robotics technology holds the potential to transformthe future of the country, and stating among other things that: Unfortunately, the United States lags behind other countries in recognizing the importance of robotics technology.

When one travels outside the U.S. there are always cultural differences, no matter how large,or small. Therefore, the most important thing that I would like to emphasize is that one needs togo to Fulbright abroad with an open mind and be prepared to learn. In addition to culturalchallenges, there may be additional issues such as finding housing, which at times could be thebiggest task and challenge, schools for accompanying children, transportation, and its associatedissues like getting a driving license or purchasing of vehicle, etc. Fulbright

Unfortunately many of these same students already fail to see a link between what theyare currently learning in the classroom and their role as a professional engineer. The energyengineering community needs to determine topics and instructional techniques that will helpstudents connect their classroom experiences with the future opportunities they will encounter inthe unfolding development of the electric vehicle and its supporting infrastructure.This paper reviews electric vehicle development as well as examples of previous learningexperiences and Economic Stimulus funded initiatives for electric vehicle course and curriculumdevelopment.

Knowledge of professional ethics in principle thus provides a necessary but ofteninsufficient condition for the end result of ethical behavior in practice. The internal fostering ofwhat was once called conscience is also needed. That is the challenging goal of the techniquepresented here, one that reaches back to the philosophical and mythical roots of ethics to stir theconscience of the student by seeking emotional identification with the source of our moral sense. This reaching back to philosophical roots depends upon a storytelling technique thatfocuses on presenting philosophical and mathematical topics both familiar and interesting to theengineering student, topics that

]. For the purposes of thisstudy, focus was on college level approaches to character education.Much of the character education at the college level has been a response to a call from policymakers for renewed focus on character [14]. For the most part, the response has been on theperiphery of college life where volunteer service centers, community activities, and othersimilar type constructs are intended to draw in student participation and provide theenvironment and experience necessary to develop student character for the good throughparticipation [17]. There are exceptions to this passive approach. One of these exceptions isat Wake Forest University where character is an integral part of student development throughtheir Program for Leadership

revise earlier thinking in order to move forward. ● Articulation of limitations: Engineering design often requires years of iterative research, development, and testing, with access to, and consumption of, abundant resources. In the absence of adequate time or human and material resources, students should identify and explain the resultant impact on their design and discuss what could be done additionally to justify the viability of their design and ideas. The inclusion of supporting detail, such as the recommendations of experts, in similar contexts will enhance the validity of the students’ articulation of limitations and the means of addressing those that the students propose and justify.The
