Get to know facts2. Learn about context3. Train procedures for automatic reactions4. Find rules behind procedures5. Find strategies for actingThis type of knowledge is called “strategic” and is the basis for creative thinking.LLL procedure is usually the combination of the different learning processes and leads toprofessional engineering qualifications, which could be described as Knowledge, Skills andCompetencies. The European Qualification Framework (EQF) procedure4 is used in general inhigher university education as well as in vocational
trying tofacilitate innovation in their employees, but students are not learning how to be creative in arapidly changing world 1. For solving this problem it is necessary to project the integrativeeducational system (cluster) for training creatively thinking students.For this objective an innovative educational model, new methodology and technology, newthinking, and higher level of consciousness become necessary. Models of contemporaryengineering education and activity must be based on general models which take intoconsideration the unity of the world in its complex connections, and ecological, ethical,aesthetical principles. In the process of developing the model an attention was focused on thefundamentalization of education, which is based
related businesses generally do not havesufficient technical capacity to use modern educational technology, including the fullimplementation of the distance learning capacity, on-line consultations, etc.4. An important task and, at the same time, a big challenge was the need for multiple trips for theteam members and teachers – the Program participants and leaders of the final certification worksneeded to go for consultation on management practices and organizational issues to correct thecontent (making updates and revisions) of training programs, negotiations with organizations -places of internships, providing advisory services to students during internships and others. Thebudget cycle of the Program does not include travel expenses for these

.” 1 As we seek to prepare our graduate students for an ever-changing global society, we noted that attention to trends could particularly affect ourengineering and IT students. The U.S. National Intelligence Council (NIC) published GlobalTrends 2015: A Dialogue About the Future with Nongovernmental Experts in 2000,2 and fromthat dialogue, The Environmental Change and Security Project from the Woodrow WilsonCenter for International Scholars estimated that in the year 2015, the integration of informationtechnology, biotechnology, materials science, and nanotechnology will generate an increase intechnology investment, specially within more advanced countries.3 In this era of technology, ourstudents have been able to learn and share experiences
second semester.Levels of learningIn addition to creating excitement in the class and building passion for science in the lecture,several levels of learning are to be gained from the methodology of storytelling. Alterio andMcDrury10 have developed a five-stage approach for the complete levels of learning sought toachieve constructive learning through storytelling: 1. story finding, 2. story telling, 3. story expanding, 4. story processing and 5. story reconstructing.The level of engagement in the case being presented in the paper covered all previous stagesexcept the last one, as it requires students’ preparation of their own stories and sharing them withthe rest of the class in order to get peer-reflection; an issue that may not be

Ensuring graduates are prepared to enable Europe to respond to the current global technical challenges in the Green Energy the Environment and Sustainability, Communications and IT, Health, and Modern Manufacturing Systems (including Robotics), that is, a “new skills for new jobs” approach. This will embrace conventional education, lifelong learning and training for entrepreneurship.2. Ensuring that programme and module governance is sufficiently well understood that issues of mobility, progression and employment are understandable by appropriate stakeholders including the accrediting bodies for professional engineers.3. Ensuring all
. IFEESconsists of nearly 50 member organizations, representing engineering education associations andcorporations from around the globe. Dr. Hans Hoyer, who serves as ASEE’s Director ofInternational Programs and Strategy and also as Secretary General of IFEES, facilitatedconnections between the SIG leading the attributes of a global engineer project and IFEESstakeholders around the globe. This purpose was two-fold: (1) to garner assistance in translatingthe survey into multiple languages (including validation of the survey once translated); and (2) tosecure assistance in marketing the survey opportunity to IFEES stakeholders worldwide.From July-September 2010, the survey was translated from English to the following languages:Chinese (Simplified and

The goal of thesecond year project was to establish specifications for each component of the SUT shown inFigure 4.Measurable: We decided to measure the following processes that comprise the project. 1. The groups exchanged mid-term results every two months and feedback was provided. 2. We went through three processes
