of individuals to collectively handle the stressesassociated to an engineering project; that is, reaching goals on time, presence of imprevisibleissues during the project, distribution of work while maintainig a proper coordination of theproject, satisfactory resolution of conflicts, and meeting the challenge of successfullycommunicate the results.In the scheme implemented by our group, we assembly each design team looking forheterogeneity in its composition. In fact, the basic idea is that in real life, each engineer has towork succesfully with people different from him or her. Working with people with differentstyles is important for learning to respect and value differences, taking advantage of suchdifferences in team´s benefit. We

taughtin a vacuum. Philosophies were presented and students recited them, principles were “taught”, butmany times without the students being able to apply them to any real life situation. Math waspresented in such complex ways that students were often discouraged from pursuing careers thatwould require strong math backgrounds. Math educators in the U.S. recognized this was aproblem and in the 1980’s they embarked on a movement to improve the way math is taught. Theprimary goal was to extend instructions beyond rote learning by tying in real life lessons that givethe students the ability to visualize the concepts, and as such improve their retention andunderstanding. An out come of such an approach would be to given the correct activities

Society’s ability to address these global challenges requires the technicalknowledge of scientists and engineers with master’ s or doctoral degrees 1. These globalchallenges will not be addressed solely by Ph.D.s in the academy but also by Ph.D.s in business,government, and non-profit organizations. Over the past decade, doctoral education has receivednational attention with the discussion focusing on criticisms and reform efforts. One of thecriticisms argues that there

is sensing (S)versus intuitive (N) type (12).The sensing person prefers a straightforward, logical, step-by-step approach to learning. The sensing person, often learns by solving problems, andtends to find theory difficult. The intuitive individual, on the other hand, will skip stepsand follow hunches. He/she learns from theory and tends to do a minimal number ofproblems because they think they understand without having to solve problems (13).Perry’s Model of College Student Development (14) can also be used to monitor studentlearning. According to this model, which consists of nine positions (i.e., stages),occupying four general outlooks; people progress from positions 1 and 2, (dualistic),right versus wrong orientations to multiplicity

Along with focused questionsregarding perceived strengths in technical topics as well as communication and collaboration,existing measures of learning style modes will be used including identify students learningpreferences in relation to the major.

from it. There is no doubt that it is a great idea toteach a data mining course in computer science curriculum. As you can tell, students taking adata mining course need to have background in quite a few areas to be successful. Not everystudent taking this course may have the background required in all these areas. The question ishow can an instructor remedy the challenge of teaching a group of students with widely-rangingbackgrounds, and at what level should this course be taught. Furthermore, the issue of groupwork arises, specifically as to whether data mining course projects should be accomplishedindividually or as teams.Studies show that many universities are teaching data mining course(s) within their computersscience curriculum.

Because the duration of each student’s timeabroad is roughly one and a half semesters, consisting of one academic semester and part of thesemester break(s), German and American students overlap at both universities. This interactionoccurs both in the classroom and in the laboratory, and facilitates continuity in the researchprojects.The students and faculty have enjoyed early success with this arrangement. Two of thecollaborative research projects have led to publications in a respected materials science journal.The exchange has also fostered further collaboration
