practical application in theuniversity classroom.8 Since that time, the Seven Principles have evolved into standards forundergraduate education and have been used by instructors in face-to-face classrooms to enhancethe quality of instruction.9, 26 These principles have also set the stage for a large number ofresearch studies3, 4, 13, 25 in support of both face-to-face and online course quality.Chickering and Gamson’s Seven Principles assert that good practice in undergraduate education(a) encourages student-faculty contact, (b) encourages cooperation among students, (c)encourages active learning, (d) gives prompt feedback, (e) emphasizes time on task, (f)communicates high expectations, and (g) respects diverse talents and ways of learning.7

• Alternative paths to system realizationThe advantage of having a smoothly-operating consortium pays off in delivering such abroad-based plan. Processes are already in place to identify the required expertise andmanage the balance between the different thrusts and measure their effectiveness. Thereis also an important ‘trickle down’ effect. Topics that appear first in high-levelleadership courses steadily diffuse out to a wider range of participants to mimic the waytechnology is spread throughout the industry. The trends are also seen in detail by theacademic collaborators and the relevant sections are quickly incorporated into academiccourses.Bibliography 1.

component of Illinois StateUniversity's NCETE TTE spring professional development workshops. Using a quasi-experimental, pre-test post-test design, the project will design and implement assessmentprocedures to explore the extent to which students understand the core engineering concepts. Thestudy will consist of three phases including (a) designing the unit of instruction to deliver thecore engineering concepts; (b) delivering the unit of instruction to secondary level students(grades 10-12); and (c) refining the unit for a second round of delivery and assessment. The unitwill be designed during the NCETE TTE professional development workshop at Illinois StateUniversity and will involve technology education teachers from cohorts 1 and 2. In

The Shaping of Virginia Tech’s International Engineering Education ProgramAbstractVirginia Tech’s strategic plan recognizes the need for its engineering graduates to have a moreglobal outlook. Today’s engineer is more likely than ever to interact with people from avariety of cultures and to be involved with projects that span across continents. Theinstitutional goal of increasing students’ global awareness put more focus on establishing aninternational department at the Dean’s level in the College of Engineering. This paper willdiscuss the development of this office and the administrative efforts to raise the percentage ofthe university’s engineering students going abroad. It will show how to use existing
