the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciencebuilt on their success of using robotics in the classroom to integrate computer science, electricalengineering and information technology students on project teams. Each project used a standardkit of equipment to design, build and test a robot that could complete a specific task. Theseprojects, conducted at three overseas locations in foreign languages with local faculty andstudents, were a tremendous success. In this paper, we describe our methodology for integratingmultidisciplinary and multicultural project members on undergraduate project teams andexporting this type of experience to distant locations while minimizing costs. In addition tomeaningful project work, the students

By havingdirect exposure to the facility the secondary school teachers will have a betterunderstanding of the processes required to develop the fundamental circuits used inmodern technology. This would be transferred to the student at an early age and instill adesire to enter the fields of science and engineering. This workshop will make use of thefacility during the summer months, when historically few engineering students registerfor courses and teachers seek additional education. The second forum will be focused towards the students themselves

Introduction: Most technology-related undergraduate engineering programs struggle with the relentlessand rapid growth of the body of knowledge required by graduates. New technologies, newtechniques, changes in technology price points, new calls for students to master the ethical,social, and political dimensions of engineering and to work in teams, and various other factorsare a constant source of pressure to treat an ever larger array of topics in the curriculum. Yet theamount of time
– Fort Smith (UAFS) is an open admission institution with strongties to local industry; it supports many technology related programs. UAFS in conjunctionwith the University of Arkansas - Fayetteville (UAF) offers bachelor degrees in Electricaland Mechanical Engineering. The Fort Smith campus is responsible for the first two years ofthe degree and additional interactions with senior design students. In this arrangement,UAFS faculty members predominantly teach freshman and sophomore courses which canbring the trappings of monotony and deterioration of instructor’s cutting edge knowledge. Tohelp combat this issue, a sabbatical leave can be used to keep one’s knowledge up to date andbring new perspective to the classroom for both the instructor and
