15 cr/30 ECTS Politècnica de Cataluña Figure 2. Program Credit Allocation ModelWe envision program mobility to be largely determined by language capability. This means thatwe will structure mobility to maximize preparatory study of the Spanish or English language(whichever is the second language) so that when students actually go for their semester (s)abroad in their second language that they will have already studied that language for at least twosemesters. The semester program model as depicted in Table 1 presents a typical study programenvisioned for Purdue University student entrants. DIT entrants would study semester 1 at DITfollowed by Semesters 2

These principal ICT directly enabling modern E-commerce include Web-basedcomputing, mobile computing, and ubiquitous computing (Banavar & Bernstenin, 2002; Kannanet al., 2001; Samaras, 2002).The Web-based computing was implemented based on a wirednetwork using the Internet until the ability to connect started approaching physical limit-mobility.The mobile computing based on wireless infrastructure gave rise to a new S curve, with the newphysical limits being a higher level of ubiquity and embeddedness (Lyytinen & Yoo, 2002).Over the past decade, we have witnessed the rapid developments in ICT which have substantiallychanged the landscape of E-commerce. The Internet has introduced a significant wave of
rising energy prices create a renewed opportunityto move U.S. public policy and engineering education in a mutually beneficial direction. Callsfor change in the way energy education occurs are certainly not new, and earlier expressions ofconcern are a good source for our current reflection. Writing in 1973, the highly respectedRepublican legislator Howard Baker pondered the then-current oil supply shortage.4 Heconcluded that well-developed education programs linking environmental attitudes with energyuse could have a strong and lasting impact on energy consumption behaviors in the country. Inthe 1970‘s, President Jimmy Carter advocated the development of energy education programs tochange students‘ perceptions of energy and alter patterns of

Baxter Magolda’s prior interview protocol11. Interviewquestions were asked to introduce different topics, such as role of learners, role ofadvisors/professors, etc. The advantage of this protocol was that it provided a scope of topicwithout framing the response. Sample questions are shown as follows: -Now, think about yourself as a learner in the classroom, in a research group, or in a project team. What role do you play, what method do you use, to make learning more effective for you? -As you think about your instructors, professors, advisor(s), what role do you think they have played that made you learn effectively?Data AnalysisAll sixteen interviews were transcribed. After the transcription, transcripts were revised where

Learning by exploration with pen-and-tablet computersThe affordances provided by the new pen-and-touch-based tablets, by enabling quick andintuitive synthesis and analysis, would trigger new mechanisms of learning by such criticalexploration and problem-based learning10, 11. Firstly, we plan to explore the new situated learningmechanisms at the interface of design and analysis. Secondly we hypothesize that the nature ofquestions

of sustainability, based on the above responses, is presented in this paper.The framework introduces students to the various conceptual tools that they will use to understand theenvironmental consequences of different inputs that go into manufacturing. Then these identified concepts areproperly distributed within the various courses on manufacturing science, manufacturing operations, andmanufacturing design. The framework is deliberately kept open so that schools that are so interested canfurther adjust the structure to develop a curriculum that is better suited to their available resources.

Although the engineering sector has grown in past years, in2012, engineers comprised only 1.2% of the U. S. workforce.18 The U. S. Department of Laborforecasts growth in workforce needs among all of the major engineering disciplines (chemical,civil, electrical, industrial and mechanical); however, the projected demand for civil engineers isfar greater compared to the other disciplines (Table 1). 19 This is largely due to the need for civilengineers to address issues related to the country’s aging infrastructure and to the design anddevelopment of new infrastructure needed to
nothing can replace witnessing something firsthand, they must admitthat recent technological advances can provide some of that same “wow” factor. The area ofremotely operated vehicles (ROV’s) is one such field where the “wow” is almost second nature.Since first taking to the oceans as military platforms in the 1960’s, ROV’s have become thebackbone of the majority of marine surveillance and monitoring activities4. Aptly put byBorchardt in 2008, “ROVs can map the sea floor, explore the ocean depths for scientists, andlocate shipwrecks for archeologists”4. ROV’s can be manipulated safely from the shore, or alaunch vessel, removing the operator out of harm’s way, and furthermore can be deployed morereadily when conditions are less than optimal4
