As
a Special Opportunity for Newcomers (and
old-timers too), the 2006 Colloquium will offer a no-additional-cost
pre-conference workshop to all registered participants. The
Getting Started Workshop is designed to
bring the wisdom and experience of established international
engineering programs to those seeking to launch new initiatives.
What are the realistic models? What are the challenges and
hurdles? What are the best strategies for success? How does
one build an internship program? Or a study abroad exchange?
How can we make it work?
When
: Thursday afternoon, November
2, from 1:00 – 5:00
Where
: At the conference hotel
Why:
By means of this workshop,
we hope to avoid repetition of items covered in the past during
the main conference. Our goal is to cover the basics in a
pre-conference setting, to enable us to deal with newer issues
during the Friday and Saturday sessions.
Presenters
: Faculty and staff from the
University of Cincinnati, WPI, the University of Rhode Island,
MIT, Georgia Tech, Hochschule Bremen, Purdue University.
Attendees
: Any registered conference
participant may attend this workshop. But, pre-registration
for the workshop is required.
