In all\, 12 instructors\, 6 assistants from TAKI\, 2 speakers from the Hungary Fulbright office\, and one representative from the US Embassy provided the basic instructional an d overview material for the course. The course materials\, in the form of lectures\, hands-on field experience and computer lab application\, were d elivered to 36 students that were selected from 10 countries (3 of which w ere Fulbright scholars from the US)\, and a wide diversity of backgrounds and education levels (MS to post-doc to early career professionals).
