The Bradley contingent stayed at five-star hotels in Amman (Jordan), on theNile in Luxor (Egypt) and at the American University of Cairo dormitories. All this wasaccomplished with four separate courses being taught concurrently: Nonwestern History,Construction Safety, Water Supply and Hydraulic Engineering, and Company ProjectManagement. Students were exposed to the same topics and for the same length of time as on theBradley campus.

Situation Regular and realistic self-assessment is a critical component of effective careermanagement. Professionals must always be surveying the landscape of their current situation,thinking about future goals and, most importantly, how to attain them. Three assessment areaswill be discussed here. The first area is job satisfaction – what makes work good or bad and howimportant these are to one’s position. The second area is more about development; i.e., how oneis learning and growing on the job. This can mean keeping up with trends and new technologies,and managing the workload so that there is time for those projects that teach new things. Thelast area involves looking at how organizational values impact development choices. A form foruse

The evaluators of the project state that the students' efforts lend credence to the notionthat engagement in case studies enhances problem solving and higher cognitive skills. Given the success of case studies in achieving the objectives, we decided to develop acase study that shows the use of information technologies in engineering. Therefore, wecontacted a cell phone company, Powertel (now part of T-Mobile) and obtained cooperationfrom the engineering managers in developing the case study. This paper describes the case studyand provides details from an evaluation of the use of the case study in classrooms. It concludes

In addition, part of the goalfor getting students to participate in the project of exploring an ethical dilemma and arguing forone course of action over another was to prepare them for the kinds of experiences they arelikely to encounter when they go to work as an engineer, and the grading criteria were intendedto promote the skills they will need when faced with difficult situations.

presentation methods used in large-scale classroom settings can inhibit students’ ability to follow their instructor’s thoughtprocess because either the format is too small to be viewed effectively by the entire classas in the case of whiteboards, or too static to illustrate the problem-solving process as inthe case of overhead projection of transparencies or prepared Powerpoint slides. TabletPCs connected to large-screen projection systems offer one solution for presentingmaterial in a large-scale format while maintaining a dynamic presentation.

IntroductionSince the Marshall Plan of 1947 and President Truman’s famous ‘Point Four’ of his secondinaugural address, United States foreign policy has stressed the importance of applying technicalknowledge to aid ‘under-developed’ countries2. This has resulted in more than five decades ofU.S. funding for humanitarian projects; however, because most U.S. engineers choose to work inthe corporate sector, few have made substantial contributions to the solution of the humanitarianproblems that face other nations. The few engineers who do work in U.S. aid and developmentorganizations must commit to the objectives of U.S. foreign policy

When compared to more passive learning methods,experiment-centric pedagogy has been demonstrated to boost motivation, peer-learning, andretention [13]. Following a study on learners' experiences after exploration and experimentation,Connor et al. [14] emphasized that project-based pedagogy frequently contains implicit biasesthat limit learning, either in terms of the procedures followed or the expected results. This wouldresult in predictable outcomes that do not promote divergent thinking and creativity [14]. Thisleads to the authors providing evidence that
