Plans are underway in the Fall to offer more opportunities for global learning engineering design projects for teams at WSU and MATI as well as for mixed WSU/MATI teams to work on design projects for sponsors in a third country. By the Spring of 2007, we plan to involve students at institutions and sponsoring companies in India, the United Kingdom and Australia.
