AB  -              New Dimensions in Engineering Technology Education –          Introducing a Novel International Collaborative Component to                the Undergraduate EET Senior Project ExperienceThe current EET Senior Project course at DeVry University exposes students directly toemployers and the professional world, thus catalyzing preparation for a career in their chosenprofession. Students are required to do a real-life senior project and/or develop a forward-lookingresearch prototype, grounded in the reality of the market pull from end-users in the business andprivate sectors. Student-centered projects on evolving and future applications, technologies withcogent business/marketing perspectives are particularly encouraged by the faculty. Indeed thisvisionary perspective has stimulated many compelling projects that have captured the attentionof the press at DeVry’s, “Senior Project Day” event, held twice per year at DeVry’s campus inNorth Brunswick, NJ.Over the years, the faculty in New Jersey has developed an infrastructure to facilitate the SeniorProject experience. Key components of this infrastructure are:   1. Senior Project Database - The faculty has developed a systematic way of gathering,      assessing and disseminating project ideas. All ideas are centralized in database that is      accessible to all faculty and deans through eCollege.   2. Course Sequence Coordination - Key courses have been identified to support the Senior      Project course. For example, all students are required to take rigorous course in Project      Management in the semester immediately preceding Senior Project so that they can hit      the ground running.   3. Deliverable Guidelines - The faculty has compiled clear course requirements and sample      projects that help students produce high-quality projects, year after year.   4. Senior Project Day - The Senior Project experience is culminated by presentation of      projects to employers, faculty, staff and employers on Senior Project Day, a full-day      affair that is held on campus.This paper will present the outcomes of a new initiative that extends the current campus-centeredSenior Project to a joint international initiative that includes groups of students from DeVry’scampus in Brazil. The expectation is that groups of students at the North Brunswick, NJ campusand the DeVry campus in El Salvador, Brazil will initially work collaboratively at a distance on acommon project in Electronic Engineering Technology with divided responsibilities for specificproject deliverables. Subsequently, when a critical mass of project- functionality is achieved ateach location, the group from DeVry’s campus in Brazil is expected to join DeVry’s New Jerseyteam on campus for final system unit and system integration and testing. A main focus of this paper will be to describe the salient characteristics of this experiment incollaborative education at the undergraduate level and provide a critical analysis of the benefitsand challenges of what we believe to be a novel EET project initiative.
