Seeking toclassify the relative nature of one program versus another, Grandin and Maher define thefollowing parameters: (a) short-term versus long term; (b) English language or non-Englishlanguage; (c) degree of cultural exposure/immersion; (d) degree of curricular integration; (e)degree of cultural/linguistic preparation for experiences abroad; (f) degree of engineeringspecificity; (g) degree of institutional

and institutional concerns, respectively.Time and complexity. Too many engineering curricula are notoriously inflexible, packed fullof required coursework with very few electives, and with no minor degree that one couldleverage for international preparation. Thus, for students, the primarily challenge is to find away to integrate an international experience into a busy schedule without substantially delayinggraduation. Specifically, the difficulty lies in (a) locating an institution abroad with suitablecoursework, that (b) does not cost substantially more to attend than one’s home institution, and(c) whose course credits will transfer seamlessly into the student’s home degree program.Resolving these difficulties is certainly possible, but the

The main objectives of the proposed assessment tool are: (a) to evaluatethe interaction among the students (frequency, quantity and quality); (b) to determine the valueof social interaction in the flow of the interaction; (c) to determine the impact of interaction inthe development of the project.IntroductionIt is evident that globalization is facilitating the access to human capital around the world.Advancements in information technology have enabled the communication and interactionneeded to create teams

, 2014 Use of Data to Enhance Global Engineering EducationAbstractToday’s engineering graduates should be prepared to practice engineering in a global context.One of the ways in which students can prepare, we believe, is by studying abroad. However,aside from anecdotal evidence, little data have been published in support of this assumption.Senior exit survey data were analyzed to determine if there were any differences in educationalexperiences, co-curricular experiences, satisfaction, and preparedness between those who have orhave not studied abroad. Differences between international and domestic students were alsoexamined.Higher levels of perceived preparedness to work in a global context were found for students whohave studied

The current investigation explored anumber of research questions such as whether teaching style depends on age, gender, number ofyears teaching, academic rank or highest degree earned. Statistical analysis, using independentsamples t tests, Kruskall Wallace tests, and chi-squared, were conducted to answer the researchquestions. The second area of investigation involved looking for differences between adeveloping
