UT BIS, a Look Into the Model of Bilingual International and Sustainable Technological Universities Language of Presentation: English Elva Patricia Saracho, Head Director, Universidad Tecnológica El Retoño, Mexico Luis Felipe Alvarez, Head Director, Universidad Tecnológica de Saltillo, Mexico Jesus Roman, Language Department Coordinator, Universidad Tecnológica El Retoño, Mexico Providing insight into a groundbreaking modality of public education in Mexico that is entirely bilingual and international offered by Technological Universities operating in different states of the country, this vanguard model of higher education in Mexico is unique in Latin America and operates under an English‐Spanish pedagogical scheme. Courses at these institutions are offered mostly in English by qualified and certified teaching staff. This presentation will begin by giving an introduction into the background and history of this groundbreaking concept, explaining the strategies followed in order to make students of these Technological Universities truly bilingual and with an international vision as well as giving details on the agreements signed with other educational institutes abroad in terms of both faculty and student mobility programs to support, encourage and enhance the international nature of these institutions. This presentation is intended for faculty and staff members as well as senior college administrators, government agencies and association representatives or others from similar institutions.

Internationalization: Trends in English Language Teaching and Training Language of Presentation: English Suzanne Panferov, Director, The Center for English as a Second Language, The University of Arizona, United States Linda Chu, Assistant Director of Global Programs, The University of Arizona, United States The methods and systems we use to learn and teach the English language are constantly changing. The idea of the classroom has expanded to include a myriad of ways to deliver content. The traditional student has also changed. There is an ever‐growing demand for courses to be taught in English. To stay current we cannot ignore using new technology. We need to explore ways to think outside of the box when it comes to language education. The presenters will discuss current and future trends in the field of English language training and teaching. Included are issues concerning student and teacher mobility, non‐traditional methods of delivering courses, English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and program administration. The demand for internationalizing our campuses has led to a need for improvement in English language skills and teaching methodologies of content‐area teachers. The discussion will touch on delivery of teacher training using online courses and hybrid courses using a face‐to‐face and online combination. The presenters will discuss trends in requests for ESP material, and the process for turning requests into concrete and deliverable courses.

Towards a North American Model of International, Bilingual and Technologically Intensive Collaboration Language of Presentation: English Adriela Fernandez, Director of Latin American Programs, Purdue, United States Renee Valentina Lopez‐Fernández, Instructor, ITESM, Mexico CitITESM Mexico City, Mexico This presentation proposes for the CONAHEC area one of the most innovative international collaborations developed in the Americas: a three‐ institution (2 Mexican or Canadian universities and 1 US university), jointly taught, bilingual, technology‐intensive class. Addressing some of the most pressing issues of our time is this course on Food Security and Sustainable Development. It will have, at all times, two groups of students in the classroom: a US group and a Mexican or Canadian group plus their instructors while connected to the third institution via video conference. Students and faculty must work one week on each campus. We recommend groundbreaking solutions to the academic rigor, cultural, linguistic, and technology competencies needed for our students in the 21st Century. Especially suited to the North America area with the possibility of three institutions and two languages or three institutions and three languages. The team‐work component for the students which must present a multimedia group’s work in a language or languages of their choosing plus a final individual research paper ensures a real connection among students and great quality contributions.

Towards Internationalization: A Perspective from the South Language of Presentation: English Juan Luis Mérega, Undersecretary for Institutional Relations, Universidad Nacional de Quilmes, Argentina Internationalization policies are the response of universities to a world which is increasingly global and knowledge‐driven. But the concept of internationalization includes multiple interpretations and questions. Should we consider education as a human right or education as a commodity? Should we make a choice between international cooperation and international competence? What is more important, international mobility or internationalization at home? These questions should be answered by universities from developing countries, as they face a challenge when they decide to interact with universities from all over the world. It is necessary to make institutional decisions in order to define appropriate policies which would allow a broad coverage of access to an education of quality and to international programs. The main goal should be to educate citizens and professionals who are able to interact in a global world, but who are also useful in the development of their countries. Internationalization is a key instrument to this achievement.

New Strategies for Traditional Practices: Internationalization at Home by Using Technology Language of Presentation: English Nadia Mireles, Head of the Office of Cooperation and Internationalization, University of Guadalajara, Mexico Maria Guadalupe Ureña, Responsible of Self Access Language Center, University of Guadalajara, South Center, Mexico This presentation briefly discusses the University of Guadalajara's new internationalization model and the implementation of policies aimed at internationalization at home, a concept that assumes that internationalization must go beyond physical mobility. The internationalization model implemented since 2013 at the University of Guadalajara has 5 strategies that impact the entire institution. These allow setting priorities and decision criteria, and guide the efforts of operational programs. The strategies are implemented and operate through programs that can be adapted or generated by each University Center of the University of Guadalajara Network, according to their characteristics and needs. The strategies help strengthen and build the culture and commitment to internationalization, as well as the process of integrating international, intercultural, global and comparative dimensions in the substantive functions of the institution. The five strategies are: Management, Culture, Mobility, Languages, and Internationalization at Home.

Mexican Student’s Mobility and Quality Assurance Language of Presentation: English Maria Eugenia Bolanos, Coordinator, Federacion de Instituciones Mexicanas Particulares de Educacion Superior (FIMPES), Mexico Sonia Bacha Baz, Director, FIMPES (Federacion de Instituciones Mexicanas Particulares de Educacion Superior), Mexico Student mobility has become part of the efforts of universities in Mexico to embrace internationalization. Every semester students from Mexican private institutions travel to different countries in pursuit of international experience. Recently, the results of an instrument were published giving us an indication of the trends in Mexican student mobility. An interesting aspect of the results is that most students who participate in mobility experiences come from private institutions, which generates several questions regarding the capacity of private universities to provide extra services to students, especially in light of the fact that they do not receive public or federal funding. Institutional accreditation has been done in private universities exclusively by FIMPES since 1992. To date, 114 Mexican universities are working on their accreditation processes. FIMPES’ accreditation system includes the revision of the capacity and the effectiveness of private institutions according to the mission statement of each. Mobility programs are part of the internationalization efforts of FIMPES’ accredited institutions and are assessed. During this presentation we will talk about student mobility data in FIMPES universities and its relationship with quality assurance.

The State of the Bologna Process and the European Higher Education Area Language of Presentation: English Kevin Rolwing, Assistant Director, World Education Services, United States The "Bologna Process" is an on‐going and wide‐ranging university reform process still being implemented across the European landscape and beyond.

Blending Quantitative and Qualitative Data to Assess the Impact of Experiential Learning on the Employability of Engineering Graduates Through Industry‐University Partnerships Language of Presentation: English Imelda Olague‐Caballero, Research Assistant, New Mexico State University, United States Delia Valles‐Rosales, Associate Professor, New Mexico State University, United States Currently there is a worldwide trend to produce highly skilled and culturally competent engineers employable upon graduation. However, colleges and universities are being questioned about their ability to equip graduate engineers to meet employers’ expectations. Experiential learning has been used to help remediate this situation based on its capacity to foster skills and abilities more effectively learned outside a formal curriculum, specifically in real world scenarios. To understand the implications that experiential learning has on the employability of engineering graduates, an industry‐university collaboration was evaluated. The objective was to investigate the impact that working in real world scenarios has on the development of soft skills, cultural competency, and self‐efficacy beliefs among students participating in the program. This paper presents an overview of the industry‐university collaboration and the metrics and methodology used to evaluate the program. The research looked for evidence that this intervention improved the employability of engineering students by providing opportunities to increase their self‐efficacy beliefs while acquiring soft skills and becoming culturally competent. Partial results indicated that the successful design and deployment of the program depends on the stakeholder engagement, constant monitoring of students, and close communication with the industry partner.

Case History: Texas Eagle Ford/Burgos Basin International Workforce Challenges Language of Presentation: English Maria Eugenia Calderon‐Porter, Asst. Vice President, Texas A&M International University, United States The International Shale plays known as Eagle Ford and Burgos Basin have presented a new challenge to the regional educational community. The Texas Shale Boom has created demands for a professional workforce that is not easily found in the rural areas of Texas. In addition, the Mexican Energy Reforms have opened the door to exploration by foreign investors in their northern region. Ideally the existing workforce in Texas could participate in the oilfield development of the Northern region of Mexico. This is not likely to occur as Texas oilfields have enough work to keep their scarce labor force engaged for many years into the future. Texas A&M International University (TAMIU) is meeting the challenge by creating educational venues that can lead American and Mexican University students into an international petroleum industry workforce.

How do International Forms of Accreditation Facilitate or Inhibit Collaboration Between Institutions of Higher Education in Mexico and the United States? Language of Presentation: English Chester Haskell, Consulting Director, International Professional Programs, University of California, San Diego, United States There is great interest in Mexico (and elsewhere) in international forms of accreditation as institutions of higher education seek to improve quality, enhance reputations and create partnerships with US institutions that will promote student and graduate mobility. However, international accreditation of Mexican institutions is very limited. Does this have to be a barrier to greater collaboration? How can Mexican institutions that are not internationally accredited improve their opportunities for partnerships?

A Proposal for Academic Quality Indicators in State Public Universities in Mexico Language of Presentation: English Martin Pantoja, Full time profesor, Universidad de Guanajuato, Mexico Given the ongoing debate about the concept of quality in the field of education, in this study the concept of academic quality of higher education institutions is analyzed through the determinants and dimensions of quality. Due to the boom and high impact of international rankings and the federal policies and programs for higher education in Mexico in recent decades, the public state universities (UPES‐in spanish) have been forced to follow trends and meet academic indicators to validate them before society and ensure access to funds. To take advantage of this moment and direct efforts of UPES towards consolidation of academic quality, an analysis of the indicators used by the major international rankings and the various government agencies and university associations took place. A proposal of academic quality indicators applicable to UPES in Mexico was developed and the proposed indicators were classified according to their scope of correspondence.

Higher Education International Partnership for Prosperity: A Sustainable Collaboration Between the U.S. and Costa Rica Language of Presentation: English Dr. Lorrie Clemo, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, State University of New York at Oswego, United States Dr. Efstathios Kefallonitis, Associate Professor of Business Administration, State University of New York at Oswego, United States Dr. Roberto Levi, General Director, Costarican Business Program, United States We describe an innovative collaboration among higher education, government, and employers that offers a model for building skills and promoting innovative economy across international borders. With strong forces impacting higher education and the economy, we actively built an education abroad partnership that is both relevant and leading for the 21st century. The SUNY Oswego‐Costa Rican Business Program brought together leaders from higher education, government and the business community to improve student skills and to increase the participating countries competitiveness. Built upon our sector strengths, the student mobility project included a three‐part strategic vision for higher education, business and government that has potential to be scaled for greater impact: 1. Align academic offerings with workforce needs where businesses take a direct role in helping train students through course activities. 2. Foster an ecosystem of global competency where businesses and government partner with higher education to co‐create an innovation agenda. 3. Form synergies to optimize intellectual assets and leverage economic development strategy to reach new levels of prosperity. These three efforts have a single unifying theme: prosperity through collaboration.

Interpretation and Translation Training Programs are Key to Global Collaboration: The University of Arizona’s Model Approach Language of Presentation: English Paul Gatto, Assistant Director, University of Arizona, United States There can be no collaboration without robust communication. This is especially true across borders. Linguistic and cultural differences can enrich the human experience, but if they are not bridged effectively they are barriers to justice, education, commerce, healthcare, and other major societal institutions. Too often, efforts to bridge the gap between two languages and cultures are ad hoc, piecemeal, and begun too late, if they are undertaken at all. Increasingly, however, the need to provide language services through highly qualified interpreters and translators is being recognized. It is the task of institutes of higher education to meet this need. The University of Arizona’s National Center for Interpretation has several interrelated interpreting and translating programs which develop these skills at the secondary, postsecondary, and professional levels. These programs introduce and develop practical, real‐world knowledge and skills necessary to close the linguistic and cultural divides. We will discuss the University of Arizona’s specific secondary, postsecondary and professional programs, as well as ways in which they can be used as tools or models by other individuals and institutions.

Interdisciplinary Communication: Intercultural and Interlinguistic Challenges Language of Presentation: Español Beatriz Vera‐López, Professor of English as a foreign language, Facultad de Estudios Superiores Zaragoza, Mexico , , , United States Interdisciplinary communication issues are akin to those in intercultural communication, more evident in collaborations where some of the partners use a learned international language such as English. This presentation will discuss the implementation of intercultural communication strategies to ease the difficulty of interdisciplinary collaboration faced to the increasing specialization in fields. I illustrate my presentation with the results of an action research project carried out in a ten‐week workshop of English abstracts writing attended by Spanish speaking professors and graduate students of the Facultad de Estudios Superiores Zaragoza, UNAM. The participants were from different disciplines (psychology, psychiatry, education, chemistry, chemical engineering, biology and public health). At the end, the participants reached interesting conclusions regarding the relationship between content, language and disciplinary cultures in national and international perspectives. 16

Guías para reanimación o resucitación cardiopulmonar y terapia eléctrica en lenguas indígenas Language of Presentation: Español Luis Manuel Espinosa Castillo, Coordinador de la Carrera Técnico Superior Universitario en Emergencias, Seguridad Laboral y Rescates. Jefe del Laboratorio de Cardiología, Universidad de Guadalajara, Mexico Ricardo Emmanuel Vera González, Coordinador del Laboratorio de Cardiología, Universidad de Guadalajara, Mexico Amairani Rebeca Jiménez Gómez, , Universidad de Guadalajara, Mexico Berenice Tavares Rodriguez, Mexico, , Mariana del Pilar Vizcaíno Guajardo, Mexico, , Roberto Ochoa Nava, Mexico, , El 80% de las muertes súbitas son de origen cardíaco y aproximadamente el 12,5% de las defunciones que se producen de forma natural son súbitas, calculándose que para el año 2020, la patología cardiovascular, continuará siendo la primera causa de muerte en los países centrales y la tercera en los que están en vías de desarrollo. Las cifras difieren de acuerdo con la población; la población hablante de lengua indígena en México asciende a más de 6 695 228 habitantes. La mortalidad entre la población de habla indígena es muy alta, y la tercera causa de muerte en ellos es de causa cardiovascular. Por lo tanto, es de suma importancia, que la población de habla indígena se mantenga informada de las principales causas de muerte de origen cardiovascular, tener conocimiento de la Reanimación o Resucitación Cardiopulmonar básica, así como el saber atender de manera oportuna una muerte súbita por fibrilación ventricular por medio de un desfibrilador externo automático. Se requiere urgentemente establecer el apoyo de la reanimación o resucitación cardiopulmonar con terapia eléctrica en México y territorios habitados principalmente por indígenas.

Meeting the Challenges of Students Mobility: A Dual Aerospace Engineering Bachelors Degree Program Across Borders Language of Presentation: English Imelda Olague‐Caballero, Researcher, New Mexico State University, United States Javier Gonzales‐Cantu, Secretario Academico, Universidad Autonoma de Chihuahua, Mexico Ricardo Torres‐Knight, Dean of Engineering, Universidad Autonoma de Chihuahua, Mexico This presentation will discuss the establishment, articulation, and progress of a pioneering academic partnership directed at offering a dual degree program in the field of Aerospace Engineering. The goal was to design an innovative educational model for international academic collaboration where student mobility, curriculum development and credit transfer were successfully implemented. We will describe the academic program structure, operating principles and administrative procedures supporting the program as well as the student selection process, enrollment requirements and challenges faced by students, e.g., language barriers, uneven academic preparedness, culture shock and adaptation, housing, timing of student visa request process, and other financial difficulties. An assessment of the program’s strengths and weaknesses along with an overview of the results of its recent accreditation process are also presented. Program outcomes reveal that efforts undertaken by the institutions committed to this partnership have truly contributed to the education of a new type of engineer able to compete in a highly globalized working environment. It is expected than in the near future, US students will be motivated to start their college careers in Mexico as part of this program.
