| Abstract | For engineering students, functioning in a “smaller, flatter world” means gaining an education that extends them into global experiences. These experiences are personally developing by fostering development of • better self-understanding, • improved communication skills, • improved adaptability, • stronger self-reliability and • stronger capacity for working effectively with others from different culture and value systems. Professional development results as the students • delve in depth into the practice and deployment of a technology (for some for their first time), • become better prepared to assume leadership roles-especially of multi-cultural organizations, and • better understand the core elements of competitiveness in a global context. Nearly 70% of our annual graduates have extended global engagements; 15% experience international internships. We have been growing these percentages for many years. Our approaches to growing our international internships, which serve us best, leverage businesses with a relationship to Calvin College and alumni with international activities to provide internship sites. From nine engineering students with international internships in the summer of 2008, the practices and approaches that worked and those needing improvement are highlighted. Our emphasis is to assure that the international internship is productive for all and to indicate routes to grow this program—as we believe we - and other institutions must. The goal of this paper is to describe our approaches so that other institutions can adapt them to their purposes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
