junior (third-year) or later in their engineering ortechnology major. The disciplines included in the exchange are electrical engineering,mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering technology. Preference is given to studentswith interest in the area of renewable sources of energy. Each program director in the consortiumis responsible in his or her institution for recruiting, providing language training, and advisingtheir students and the guest students in the exchange at their institution. For that purpose, all thepartners follow similar procedures. The program directors advise both outgoing and incomingstudents in the exchange at their institution.The exchange of students occurs at a one-to-one exchange basis, with tuition obligations
