Engineering at the University of Waterloo (UW) is unique because of its co-op program, which exposes students to practice of engineering in industry, interwoven with academic terms in the university.This paper details conduct of International Industrial Training Programs for the students of UW. These programs conducted over the past five years have addressed both issues of hands-on training and internationalization of engineering education. These programs provide skills and training on use of tools and machines culminating in a design and build project experience. This paper emphasizes safety and security in planning and implementing the programs in a foreign country. It also discusses issues related to international travel and cultural challenges faced by students and organisers. It summarizes the gains for the engineering students from the program based on immersive international exposure to a...

A machine model, a stock model, and a tool model must be designed, and algorithms for intersecting the partially machined stock with the surface swept by the tool must be implemented.

The diameter to length ratio was found to be critical for the nanowires to stand vertically without bunching. For a length of 650 nm, 40 nm and larger diameter nanowires were vertical, whereas for a length of 400 nm, 34 nm and larger diameter nanowires were vertical. Further, the phase change between the bunching and vertical nature of nanowires happens abruptly and was verified by finite element modeling of the deflections of the nanowire tips for different diameters. The detailed experimental study provides guidelines for silicon nanowire arrays being considered for different applications including solar cells, optical waveguides, and sensors.
