Session 3230 A Collaborative Work-Embedded Approach to Professional Development in Engineering Education. Monique Osborn, Dilip Nag Monash University, Gippsland Campus, Australia1.IntroductionAn ever increasingly diverse age, cultural and socio-economic student population has createda need for Australian Universities to reassess the educational processes that become part andparcel of the daily internal concern of the university. These processes can be summed up asteaching and learning effectiveness. Until the late eighties professional development foracademics remained as a low priority, the

addressed in developing andimplementing a curriculum in nanotechnology. The list of issues is as follows: • Preparing faculty to teach in a broad based technology that is still evolving. • Industry involvement and practical experience for faculty. 1) The interdisciplinary nature of nanotechnology curriculum. 2) Arranging access to laboratory facilities. 3) Need to focus on a specific aspect of nanotechnology. 4) Outreach programs. 5) Co-op and internship arrangements aimed at real world experience for students. 6) Developing partnerships with education, industry, and government. 7) Securing resources to develop curriculum, faculty, laboratories, and appropriate technical supportFroyd, Creasy, Karaman, Teizer, and Caso [2

TheWeb-based software enables instructors from multi-universities to view instructors’ informationand schedule projects throughout the year. The authors of the paper discuss the challenges increating multi-university projects, as well as present the main features of the software and anexample of how it is being used to create globally distributed software projects.1.

Implementing Senior Design Projects in the Developing WorldAbstractThe author teaches in a moderately sized engineering program at Baylor University. We havethree engineering majors. Historically we have had all of the senior students in one senior designclass, working on one project. This worked fine when the graduating class was less than 20students. Students were forced to work in interdisciplinary teams. Now, however, ourgraduating class has grown to more than 50. The old model would no longer work very well.We have changed our model to have multiple senior design projects, mentored by severaldifferent faculty members. We have had a long term involvement with engineering serviceprojects in developing countries. This past year we combined these in
