analysis were delivered by traditional lectures. b. Basic instructions and skills on how to run load flow cases on PowerWorld were introduced. Teaching assistants sometimes helped students learn and train the PowerWorld simulation. c. Students were required to complete a take-home exam on such simulation using their own personal computers Page 21.11.5 d. Students were required to demonstrate their simulation skills and results with a sample load flow case. e. Students were put into small groups and shared their experience with classmates and discussed about the results. Such group activities really worked. They

key players behind the development of the Online Resources for Learning in English (MyLinE) portal in 2006 which was later adopted by the Ministry of Higher Education of Malaysia in 2008 to be used and accessed by all reg- istered students in the 20 public universities in Malaysia. Since its launch in 2008, she has been entrusted with the responsibility of managing the language learning portal which includes developing, maintaining and hosting the site. She teaches Computer Assisted Language Learning and Classroom Observation on the university’s TESL programme and Effective Oral Communication skills in the language proficiency programme. Her area of interest includes CALL, CMC, self-directed language learning and
industrial education, application of ICT technology in education, media and technology, virtual reality technology, computer aided engineering, and mechatronics; for which he has received numerous depart- mental, school, institute, and national awards. Current research interests include engineering education, u-learning, e-learning, m-learning and mechatronics.

There is someresonance with Dreyfus’s hierarchy of learning (presented above) as the student developsthrough the qualification levels from novice (pre-undergraduate) to expert (postgraduate ordoctoral). Observation of the Dreyfus and QAA hierarchies recommends that a capableproject manager needs to be working at least at the postgraduate level3, 4. For study for thesehigher qualifications, the
based on End-of-Semester SurveysIn Spring 2012, UGA had 3 students taking this robotics course while NTU had 12 studentsparticipating. The UGA students responded to a regular “end-of-semester” paper survey,while the NTU students wanted to post video clips to report on their view of the effectivenessof this course, and also to “thank” the UGA instructor (another “cultural” difference to note).The YouTube link for their videos is athttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDIZYDlK_es&list=PL2A08768DB1F6A3E8.All 3 UGA students reported that all 3 course learning objectives were exceeded (thecategories were “Not Met”, “Met” and “Exceed”): 1.

FalconSAT research is conducted withinthe Academy's Space Systems Research Center. The SSRC coordinates research funding withoutside organizations and provides planning and management for satellite missions. FalconSATis a senior capstone course that all astronautical engineering majors are required to participate in.The goal of the program is for cadets to ‘learn space by doing space.’ Seniors and faculty fromother departments including management, physics, electrical engineering, computer engineering,and mechanical engineering also participate in the program.

such as the Poke-Yoke are context-sensitive (specific to the labor force).- The automotive industry has pioneered the development and the usage of advanced engineeringcommunication tools through the Information Technology IT offerings. Such tools include a fullsuite of Computer Aided Engineering; Computer Aided Drafting and Design CAD, ComputerAided Manufacturing CAM, etc. Such tools have facilitated new modes of remote collaborativeengineering work.- The automotive industry recognized the need to develop organizational learning systems withglobal focus. An example of such learning systems is the Rover Group Learning Business orRLB, initiated in 1990, and the Volvo partnership with Renault in 1993 and with Mitsubishi in1996 to establish cross
