In order to avoid any confusion, the learning outcomes should be defined. We willdefine what the students would be able to do after the completion of  A program as program outcomes (POs) or student learning outcomes (SLOs)  A course as course learning outcomes (CLOs)  A chapter

media, policymakers and government organizations, alllevels of educators, and the public in general resoundingly call for improved science, technology,engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. By improving STEM education, there is thepotential to attract more and diverse types of students into becoming college-bound and career-ready. Currently, U.S. students are not attracted to STEM fields and are not prepared through ourschools for advanced study and careers. The need for improved STEM education and motivationis particularly critical for female and minority students, where participation and achievementgaps between majority and minority and male and female students in STEM disciplines in highereducation and careers persist. Providing STEM

In both universities our students spent time with Chinesestudents discussing topics of interest, ranging from college admissions processes, to academics,to student life outside academics and many others. We ate in the student cafeterias and visitedstudents’ dormitories. We also attended a graduation art performance (singing, dancing,performing skits, playing musical instruments, etc.) by the computer science and engineeringstudents at SEU, which was completely

. Thispresentation highlights the African University of Science and Technology (AUST), a private,pan-African, coeducational university located in Abuja, Nigeria. Its mission is to “advanceknowledge and educate students in science, technology, and other areas of scholarship that willbest serve the African continent in the 21st century”. Starting in 2008, graduate programs at themaster’s level have been offered in Computer Science and Engineering, Materials Science andEngineering, Petroleum Engineering, Theoretical and Applied Physics, and Pure and AppliedMathematics. We discuss in particular opportunities for innovative ideas for the MaterialScience and Engineering curriculum. The desire is to ensure a well-rounded grounding of thestudents not only in the
