refers to “near and far transfer” that describe the stages ofapplication of such learning. “Near transfer” demotes to, for example, online/classroom basedactivities or problem-solving case studies, which illustrate application of gained knowledgewithin a controlled environment. Here, learning facilitators are on hand to assist or to provideguidance. On the other hand, “far transfer” links to the place of work situation whereapplication becomes more difficult due to the nonexistence of instructor support and manyreal world effects that increase both complications and complexity.Case: Two UK institutions (Loughborough University and Leeds University) 8,9The two institutions have Project Management Programmes which have existed for over fiveyears

/technical/economic challenges. Each funded graduate student attends a weeklyproseminar on development topics and spends significant time in India, pursuing a novelresearch project that addresses a development need and fulfills his or her degree requirements.A core tenet of the Center is collaboration with stakeholders who represent each link in the chainfrom inception of an idea to implementation in the real world. This collaboration includespartnerships with small entrepreneurs as well as larger organizations that understand targetmarkets and have a track record of scalable, sustainable success. Tata Fellows are taught how toengage the entire stakeholder hierarchy behind a technical challenge, from executives toengineers to manufacturers to

world-changing career.The world continues to face natural catastrophes. The widespread use of numerous media outletsand venues have brought these catastrophes into almost everyone‘s living room, making themvividly real even though they may have occurred several thousand miles away. Because of themedia coverage of catastrophes, students have gained a greater understanding of this naturalphenomenon and the devastating impact these events have on our societies and communities.Engineering education and design experiences like the ones that are shared with teachers to takeinto their high schools can provide a sense of hope and urgency to be human rights advocates.The program provides innovative ways to directly impact high school students by

The goal of such graduation work is to systematize, solidify and broaden theoreticalknowledge, linguistic research skills progression in the given topic, defining the area ofdefinite application of the findings. The section «Translator's comment” is the closest to thereal scientific research. It shows how graduates use their theoretical knowledge and practicalskills to solve the real translation tasks and make a linguistic analysis. The graduation papermay be presented as a theoretical-and

technological education, they must be well educated in economic, ethical, societal,and global issues. This education happens formally, through course, project, and off-campusexperiences, and informally, through international robotics events. Taken together, these formaland informal activities and programs can give robotics engineers the global mindset demanded ofthe modern engineer.1. INTRODUCTIONRobotics—the combination of sensing, computation and actuation in the real world—as adistinct field is an idea whose time has come [1]. Traditionally, engineers working in therobotics industry have been mostly trained in a single science or engineering discipline.Typically, those are computer engineering (CE), computer science (CS), electrical engineering

At the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Southern California37% 13 and 28.2% 14 of recent engineering graduates respectively had an internationalexperience. Many of these programs are quite innovative. In the past seven years the Institute forInternational Education has bestowed its prestigious Andrew Heiskell Award for Innovation inStudy Abroad on engineering programs. In 2013, the NanoJapan program was also profiled in aNational Academy of Engineering report as a model global program for “Infusing Real World

. I think what really got me to go was the wanting to know of how can we really help when just being a student. As student you’re always to focus on school work that you forget how to think outside the box and take a moment to enjoy the world. Page 21.5.7 As much as I hate to admit it, this experience was a fun way to get out of my cramped engineering curriculum.  I was motivated by the fact that the service learning opportunity involved actively meeting the needs of a rural community in a developing area. I found it very interesting that the application of engineering skills was going beyond the typical office

Allfundamental engineering skills, including mechanization, automation, creating new andmodernization of existing technologies, and other kinds of activity, should, first of all, aim atsociety and its members. Existing social and technical reality requires professionals with broadoutlook and systemic thinking, able to see interdisciplinary connections. Contemporarytechnologies create a specific environment. Nowadays every engineering decision intrudes intosocial reality, transforms it, creates and imposes new material needs, and sets up new qualitystandards
