industrialprojects in an engineering curriculum. This paper focused on one of the major burdens in offeringindustrial project experience to engineering students, the handling of communications amongproject teams, industrial partners, and supervising faculty. In this paper, the approach of usingcollaborative environments is proposed for the reduction of some communication relatedproblems in industrial project implementation process. WebCT and a low cost web-basedcollaborative environment are the tools suggested for managing industrial projects. The purposeis to use available tools for managing projects that can reduce the complexity involved inmonitoring industrial projects.IntroductionToday’s engineers and managers often are in charge of various engineering

As the State’s flagshipuniversity, the University of Kentucky has long been involved in study abroad and foreign exchangeprograms, either sending or hosting over 300 non-degree-seeking students and scholars per year. While there is no debate among U.S. educational institutions of the benefit derived both by thestudent and the educational community from participation in study abroad and foreign exchangeprograms, virtually no effort has been made to properly assess such programs.

Third, a testbank of questions to reflect basic knowledge required to successfully complete each course iscreated and maintained by the faculty.Two primary outcomes are considered using the pre/post test assessment tool. First, the pre-testinformation from post-requisite courses can be shared to determine how well course topics arecovered and retained. Second, the post-test results are analyzed and compared to pre-test resultsto determine if students gained the basic knowledge required to complete the coursesatisfactorily.
