, 3) an ability to communicate across cultures, 4) experience practicing engineering in a global context, and 5) an ability to effectively deal with ethical issues arising from cultural or national differencesTraditionally, these skills are acquired through study abroad programs. Recently some courseshave been developed for undergraduate engineering students with some success demonstratingstudents’ increased global competencies even among students were are not able to travel, see forexample [5].This paper will report on the experience learned from a program that was developed to provideopportunities to practice engineering in a global context. The Engineering World Health VirtualExchange was developed and conducted in the

, speakingother languages, and communicating with people from marketing and finance will be just asfundamental to the practice of engineering as physics and calculus.”In addition to the ethical and humanistic dimension, it is unarguable that these attributes arerelevant even outside the domain of engineering practice. Scientists and engineers do becomepolitical leaders and policymakers; thus, engineering students must have the opportunities to“develop a global perspective, and address the fundamental problems of the world by combiningtheory and practice, learning and service” [4].Following Miller [5], STEM-focused study abroad programs, such as the one described herein,can achieve the following outcomes: 1. achieving and demonstrating ability

about ethical, racial, and cultural diversity determines their instructionaldiversities” (p. 126), and plurality in class. Teachers’ awareness of students’ cultures can betterequip them to interact with diverse students [12]. The plurality in culturally responsive teachingtheory reflects cultural synergies within the class, developed from the notion that race, class,culture, ethnicity, and gender shape the diverse students’ learning styles, requiring multipleinstructional strategies for the common learning outcomes [12]. Therefore, cultural synergies canbe viewed from three aspects. It requires various teaching techniques in class to accommodatevarious students’ learning styles; it is reflected on relevant curriculum by locally

administration of the Global Perspective Inventory (GPI)?Literature reviewThe NAE report on Educating the Engineer of 2020 states that the engineering graduates shouldbe “technically proficient engineers who are broadly educated, see themselves as global citizens,can be leaders in business and public service, and who are ethically grounded [5].” Most of theprograms that aim to teach cultural intelligence to engineering students opt for some form ofinternational travel, despite the challenges that it represents [4]. Although most of theseprograms do not focus solely on global engineering practices, they present unique learningopportunities that allow engineering students to experience some of the global challenges ahead.When properly conceived and
