later courses and the profession as a whole. Studies also suggestthat early classroom experiences in the required science courses may be intimidating rather thaninviting3. Engineering technology students have an additional risk factor. It is the nature ofengineering technology courses at four-year institutions to be lab-intensive, even in the first twoyears of study. Many students find these courses challenging and time-consuming compared toother courses they take in their first two years4. If these students are not strongly committed totheir chosen courses of study there is a temptation to change majors. Freshmen also enter their chosen majors with a wide diversity of backgrounds andtechnical skill sets. Those with the background
workwith students at the Universidad Nacional de Ingenieria (UNI), the national engineering universityof Nicaragua. Projects have included the design of biomedical devices, an Internet link to a remoteschool, and a solar charge controller. Teams of students comprising students from each universityhave been working on their project designs and developing prototypes of their technologies. Inrunning these joint projects, a number of issues have arisen. These include different calendars at thetwo universities, some language barriers, communication difficulties because of unreliable internetaccess in Nicaragua, and the differing expectations from the two sets of students. In this paper wewill describe some of the challenges that we have faced and how
