In collaboration with the PI and Education Director, she manages all aspects of the NanoJapan: International Research Expe- rience for Undergraduates Program. Since 2006, this program has sent 118 young U.S. engineering and physics students to Japan for research, language, and cultural study. She also manages the reciprocal NanoREIS: Research
(c) internationalization of theinstitution. These objectives were intended to not only for students to transfer knowledge topractical applications, but also to generate new knowledge through inquiry processes. Therefore,the attainment of these goals then requires a continuous evaluation approach that will result incontinuous improvement of plan of studies and curricula.In this paper we describe the established educational and continuous improvement strategies theSchool of Engineering has adopted that are aligned with EAFIT University’s institutionaleducational initiatives. Specifically, we will describe an engineering approach to curriculardesign grounded in: educational research, engineering education, and interactive educationalcommunities
