developed newcourses for these programs to heighten the students’ experiences in transportation engineeringwhile abroad. International transportation concepts and examples impacted the courses andcurriculum. Outside the classroom, the faculty and students shared real-world learningexperiences by observing and questioning together differences in the traffic control, safety andoperations on roads in other countries compared to the US. These experiences shaped facultyand students cultural and historical perspectives, and exposed them to civil engineering practicesin other countries. This allowed the faculty to be a more effective teacher through experiencesgained overseas and civil engineering design examples that can be shared in the classroom

' professional development it is only 33% of them who work within theirspecialization. And yet, labor productivity in Russia as a whole is 10 times lower than in the leadingcountries, and its share in the world trade is slightly more than 1% [1]. The Russian industry doesn'tuse the advances in science, technological developments and achievements in modern technologyefficiently. The manufacturers are actively pushed out of the market of high technologies and high-tech products.In 2012 these circumstances have prompted the President of Russia to release the President'sprogram (hereinafter - the Program) of training for engineering staff for 2012-2014.
