One of the main reasons is that a campus' local network is uncovered by public search engines, and most of the local Web sites in a community operate like information silos. A secondary reason is that the daily activities in a local community are highly dynamic,...
In this paper we primarily report on the practical outcomes of Software Studio undergraduate course, but also on a graduate Software Engineering for Internet Applications course, both of which are taught collaboratively by IT and non-IT faculty members. In the latter, students are assigned to projects proposed by actual customers and work together in teams to deliver quality results under time and...
Communication in multinational environment is per se challenging. This difficulty increases even more when interaction takes place in the highly technical setting of a Computer Science and Engineering institution. Additional obstacles emerge due to language impairments (lack of a common language, low proficiency in the language(s) of instruction and/or research). This paper reports on a work in progress...
Preparing engineering students for global workplace is a growing need as engineering schools not only recognize the value of university experience, but also discover that many of their students do not demonstrate the right skills and mindsets for global success. Fresh graduates frequently lack knowledge of other cultures and languages and, most importantly, of how communication works. This paper reports...
This paper reports the results of a survey regarding motivation for learning English as a foreign language.
