has called for U.S. higher education to do far more than everbefore in order to educate students to perform productively and effectively in the globalmarketplace (ACE 2 & 3 ).Engineering education principles, and higher education in general, require the use of knowledgefor improving human welfare. Author, in this paper, presents critical statistics to illustrate theessential needs and values of global awareness, including: · The importance of international education, · The number of foreign students studying in the U.S., · The decline in U.S. international education programs, · The need for increased participation by U.S. higher education system, and · Conclusion
period of time, after which thesystem will be transferred to the University. The project is structured using the EngineeringClinic program, which places students in interdisciplinary, creative teams. Students are expectedto individually own portions of the final product, while collaborating in a team environment.Progress through the milestones is monitored through weekly status meetings with a graduatestudent manager and with supervising faculty. Another important dimension of the project is therequirement for frequent interaction with external vendors in order to develop the most accuratecost model for the project design. One industry connection is to a manufacturer of a novelinverter technology, which we plan to incorporate into the design to

The goal of the ATEproject is to support the implementation of an industry-driven regional network formanufacturing education at different levels, at times and locations best suited to new andincumbent technicians and engineers. Highlights of the ATE project include:• The implementation of an active learning model consisting of Exploration, Dialog, and Application steps for
members (and whole programs) who manage to get many of these same students toperform at remarkably high levels, the fundamental problem remains – industry representatives,administrators, and faculty member perceptions vary regarding the rather complex argumentssurrounding performance metrics and the role that both students and faculty members have inachieving those standards. Certainly, student attitudes, motivation, and studying strategies canimpact academic performance. While this can be measured and positive programmaticinterventions can influence student behaviors and subsequent retention, it again is not the primaryinterest of this paper, which is, why do academically successful students choose to leave.Facets of Student LearningTo better

Since they were real problems, they carriedmore meaning and encouraged greater student learning, enriching the students’ educationalexperience. Additionally, the projects not only benefited the students, but also the affectedcommunities, providing additional information that could be delivered to their residents.
