As seen from the college, this way of administering the students' work appears powerful. After briefly having described the "Telemark Model", the paper concludes by reporting positive academic feedback from the U.S.A. in addition to present the students' opinion about this way of conducting cooperative learning. It has been found that students at large find project work in groups timeconsuming but rewarding. Their positive attitude towards cooperative learnng becomes more clearly pronounced as they advance from freshmen to seniors and Graduates. The latters, who are seing the whole proeess retrospectively, are reported to find the process of a 3-year's cooperative learning program useful to their daily work.

Important changes in technology and society, including the educational system, began and nourished the work. The preparation process formally commenced in August 1995 and has included educational, psychological, tactical and organisational means to attain the goal. Results from tests given to 36 entering freshmen of this class are presented and discussed in the paper. Project organisation and test results indicate that today's vocational schools may represent a future sector for the recruitment of new students into the engineering profession.

For Telemark University College (TUC) in Porsgrunn, senior year students' project works, which count for 1/6 of the student workload for that year, could represent such an opportunity. In this paper, the authors tabulate and examine some of the causes and effects of six off-campus senior year projects, with three of them having produced college revenues while the other three did not. The causes include the teacher' s role, students' competences and the human factor. The effects listed cover the technical outcomes, the college/partner relationship and college income. The study reveals that all projects tended to confirm former industry leader signals regarding a willingness to support the College economically if project work results were found to be useful for the company.
