for the future it is critical to decrease emissions from fossil fuelswhile harnessing energy from renewable resources. These concerns reach across political andgeographical borders, and, when considering the establishing of knowhow and practice indeveloping nations, researchers and practitioners need to address the special needs of capacitybuilding and infrastructure and resource limitations. Beyond that one must be cognizant of howto create a link with engineers and scientists to begin with and then go beyond that to maintainthe collaboration while considering issues related to tact, communication, and understanding theinfluence of culture on research and interaction practice [1].In this paper we consider a USAID/NSF PEER program aimed at

This paper summarizes the content of the ExCEEd Teaching Workshop,assesses its effectiveness, highlights changes in the program as a result of the assessment, andoutlines the future direction of the program.The ETW is a highly intensive, hands-on, five-day workshop consisting of seminars,demonstration classes, and small group labs. The focus of the workshop is basic teaching skillsand the goal is to improve teaching and learning in civil engineering programs. The ETWphilosophy is to learn by doing. As such, most of the workshop consists of small group labs inwhich each attendee teaches and is critiqued on three

how drawings are created, and they might work with or go to design/engineering/ drafting departments using CAD. Another disagreement is whether to teach computer aided machining (CAM) software. Some instructors state that there is no need to teach students how to create G-codes (Computer codes which describe tool paths), and to understand G-codes might be enough for students in the machining program. However, many instructors include the CAM classes in the program because machinists should use CAM software to create tool paths and to learn about the concurrent manufacturing environment. Having reviewed the existing curricula, we then result to identify training gaps and develop a curriculum to meet those specific gaps. Two

growing component of engineering education in the UnitedStates. Its perceived educational value is exemplified by its explicit mention in ABET’sCriterion 5, which requires engineering programs to provide a culminating design experience thatincorporates engineering standards and multiple constraints. Capstone courses and design-build-test projects allow students to synthesize and apply engineering knowledge, skills, and tools toopen-ended design problems. Students work and communicate in teams to complete tasks likegenerating requirements, and testing and integrating equipment. There appears to be widespreadconsensus that project-based learning is valuable, but, how well do these projects prepare studentsfor engineering challenges in professional

As mentioned earlier, this course isalso an elective for students in other engineering degree programs, as well as students enrolled innon-engineering degree programs, such as Management, Leadership Development, andEducation (e.g., Instructional Design). Of the total sample we analyzed, 327 students wereregistered in one of three engineering degree programs (Systems Engineering, SoftwareEngineering, or Information Science), 12 were registered in a Leadership Development degreeprogram (offered by the Management Division), and 24 had undeclared majors at the time of theKAI administration.

In this respect, his studydemonstrates the difficulty of building a professional identity in an academic environment.The current study differs from the above studies in a number of ways. First, students at NWCCare community college students and are being trained to be generalist technicians. They learncomputer programming and mechanical, electrical, and pneumatics engineering.

Therefore, creative problem solving demands divergence fromthe usual patterns of thinking, and it is accomplished most effectively within a team.
