In thisexample, there might be a small number of schools offering an engineering course of study.

The substance of the talk/seminar is usually a report of the speaker(s) work.  Module: A module is a short treatment of a policy topic, usually occurring within a larger class. Modules usually take place over 1-3 course periods.  Workshop: A workshop is an in-depth treatment of a specific topic, usually occurring outside the regular classroom setting. Workshops usually last 2 hours – 2 days.  Exposure Experience: An exposure
