The University now has seven overseascenters and facilitates programs in 20 additional countries. The programs offered are a mixture ofsemester long and short-term curricula resulting in almost half of all Syracuse Universitystudents participating in study abroad activities. Unfortunately, only a small number of the studyabroad participants are engineering students.Although Syracuse University has a long tradition of international education, most of theseprograms only involve sending students to study abroad in overseas institutions or partake insome research or hands-on activities at selected

, Virginia Tech (BEEVT) is to create a contemporary framework forundergraduate engineering pedagogy. Among the issues being studied by the collaborative is theuse of ePortfolios in the education of engineers. Several BEEVT investigators and selectedengineering students participated in a pilot of the Virginia Tech Electronic Portfolio (VTeP) infall 2003. This paper presents a review of studies on the use of portfolios and summarizes thefindings of the pilot. The future plans of BEEVT investigators targeted at developing guidelinesfor the use and evaluation of ePortfolios for improving both student learning and engineeringprograms are also briefly discussed.1.

power electronics is the problem-oriented and project-basedlearning approach. Students are often unaccustomed to assimilating materials from manyareas at one time, thereby making it difficult for them to simultaneously bring togetherthe circuit, signal and system analysis, electromagnetics and control theory topics whichare required to fully describe the operation of a power electronic converter. The project-based course and laboratory described in this paper directly addresses these difficulties byhelping students to reduce theory to practice. This approach supports the prerequisitelecture material and allows study of some practical issues which are best handled in alaboratory setting. The course format makes the students gradually more

Maybe one will work; hopefully, one will get you thinking about what couldwork for you specifically.

Could you have anindependent study class for undergraduates that would focus on teaching, mentoring and
are several sources of information that provide observations about student success through thecomputing projects. For example, written comments are provided on each project report. These writtencomments are a source of qualitative information on how student performance evolves through thesemester. It is also common for students to go through all three courses at the same institution, whichprovides an opportunity to see how they progress over two semesters. Finally, some of the students go onto graduate studies at the same institution and the instructors who teach both the undergraduate andgraduate mechanics courses observe that the students who have had the experience of doing computingprojects at the undergraduate level perform much better
