, theseskills are difficult to impart in a traditional engineering classroom. In order to address thischallenge and offer students a global experience, a foreign study program has beendeveloped for the bioengineering students at Arizona State University. The model wasdesigned to be easily adaptable with three key components – minor modification of flow-charts, identification of host institutions, and active student encouragement. To avoidcontroversy regarding accreditation, the curriculum was modified to allow for travelabroad during either semester in the second or third years during which the studentcompletes general engineering classes but would not have to take any major-specificcourses (here, bioengineering).

They provide equations for the entropy flux inprocesses with simultaneous momentum, diffusion, thermal and electrical transport.Entropy flux is the common denominator for the discussion.

Even though group projects in thePrinciples of Design course promoted creativity and the use of systematic methods for solvingproblems, there remained a lack of understanding among the students of the linkages of calculusand introductory physics to engineering design.
