a long history, with roots dating backto the 1950s [4]. Early NLP systems were limited in their capabilities and largely relied onrule-based approaches, but the development of machine learning algorithms in the 1980s and1990s led to significant advances in the field [5]. Nowadays, NLP is a rapidly growing field thathas the potential to revolutionize the way we teach and learn [6]. By enabling computers tounderstand and process human language, NLP can help educators identify patterns and trends instudent learning, facilitate more personalized and effective instruction, and provide students withnew ways to interact with educational materials [6], [7]. NLP has a wide range of applications,including language translation, text summarization, and

However, offering proper (in)formal education in the area of globalengineering management can significantly help train emerging and current leaders and canenable them to identify and overcome the barriers in a global team. This paper takes a look atkey concepts that must be taught to and understood by managers seeking success in globalmarkets. The material presented in this paper can be formally integrated as part of a core coursein a MBA global management program or can be offered as an elective towards anundergraduate business management degree.

Because of these changes, organizationsalso have to align their operations based on changes to their products, services, processes,materials, regulations, and hiring processes, to name a few.One of the goals for educational institutions is to prepare students to meet the demand set by thesociety or industry. Therefore, it is critical that educators must be aware of those changes takingplace in industry and to keep abreast their curriculums with new changes implemented by theindustry. Moreover, each program within academia will be required to update course objectivesand materials constantly, depending on the needs and demands set

IntroductionWhistleblowing is a topic of growing importance to students in all branches of engineering,including computer science and computer engineering. As Bowyer [24] has noted, whistle-blowing is mentioned in all the major codes of ethics relevant to the computing profession, theIEEE code, the ACM code, the AITP Standards of Conduct, and the IEEE-CS/ACM SoftwareEngineering Code of Ethics. However, most well known examples of whistleblowing hail fromother fields, such as civil and mechanical engineering. A notable exception is the case of RuthAldred and

Namely: • Non-standard user interfaces without QWERTY keyboard and screen. Interfaces typically implemented through sensors and pushbuttons, although text-oriented devices (e.g. PDA) may also include alphabetic input mechanisms such as pens or on-screen keyboards. Sensor-oriented interfaces also require matching software access, which is typically different from standard computer peripherals. Device drivers are needed for these sensors

users can be notified of problems before they cause a criticalfailure that may cause the loss of life. In manufacturing, the increasing use of robots for massproduction has increased the need for reliability and fault tolerance14. In some sense the additionof fault tolerance however works against itself, as more hardware must be added which itself canalso fail. Reliable embedded computers include many mechanisms for system stability includingself-checks, and self-diagnosis15.The ultimate goal of a fault tolerant system is to maintain stability through a fault until a repaircan be made. If a faulty component is detected, a system may activate a backup unit, or simplydeactivate the unit if it is non-critical to system operation. Fault tolerance

This is because, before attempting any modi-fication, engineers must locate and understand the parts of the software system relevant to thedesired change. In many cases, the relevant parts include not only source code but also otherartifacts, e.g., requirements.Incorporating the teaching materials that are of industrial strength is an important educationstrategy to ensure practical relevance.

Put succinctly, students will onlyapply effort to learn if they see value in learning the material or skill at hand. This value maycome from a combination of one or more sources, such as the pleasure of attaining mastery of askill, the enjoyment of the material itself, the potential for better job prospects, or simply the needto earn a particular grade to keep a scholarship [1]. Many of these value factors are influenced bythe structure of our courses and the way we teach, and electrical engineering is
