? In his book “Collaborate!”,Sanker2 discussed and showed that collaboration is “doable and critical to success”. Baker-Doyle3 described how teachers (especially new ones) can develop their Intentional ProfessionalNetworks for support. Research by Stump et al.4 indicated that collaborative learning strategieshelped students increase their self-efficacy in learning course materials. In the area of roboticseducation, Ren et al.5 surveyed over twelve syllabi from different universities and suggested a Page 21.24.2problem/project based approach to foster creativity and insight about robotics in students. Otherresearchers also concurred in this

engineers and theirservices they provide across borders. New scientific and engineering discovery are pushingthe boundary of engineering applications, particularly in complex systems andinterdisciplinary engineered solutions. This scenario presents many new challenges forengineering organizations in that one project for new autonomous gold mine may start withpreliminary design in London (UK) with German-trained engineers, then developed furtherwith detailed design in Houston (Texas) with a mix of US and Brazilian-trained engineers,and followed by design validation and verification in Singapore with a mix of British andAsian-trained engineers, and project managed by Australasian-trained engineers during theconstruction phases in Laos, all within
