in differences inethical perspectives. The ongoing collaborative project described in this paper attempts todevelop the cross-cultural sensitivity of Indian and USA students through their reflections oncase studies that present ethical dilemmas in real-world situations. Central questions addressed inthis paper include: 1) How does a pedagogical model based on socio-cultural theory andincorporating cross-cultural activities support undergraduate engineering students in socio-cultural and ethical thinking? and 2) How do engineering students develop their professionalidentities through socio-cultural and ethical discourse? Based on socio-cultural learning theory,the present collaborative effort engages hundreds of students in professional

Holding onto what had worked well in the past, it appeared thatcompleting team-based work was limited with reliance on “cut-and-paste” methods.New tools that reflected a virtual environment were needed to shift the focus to collaborativelearning. In a just-in-time fashion, faculty learned and utilized tools such as JamBoard [5] andMural [6]. These tools provided platforms for students to discuss, learn from each other, and stillproduce a product. They also allowed the faculty to see students’ collaborative processes, whilestill having a finished product to assess with rubric criteria.Students, used to face

The combination of these two perspectives reveals that (1) theconversation on soft skills is by no means limited to engineering education; (2) interest in thetopic has increased dramatically since 1996; and (3) implementation of the EC2000 accreditationcriteria provided the impetus for the dramatic

The process involves searching students’ lab reports for theirwriting mistakes and sorting the relevant extracts into categories and identifying themes. Eachtheme consists of several errors that are clustered together under one particular construct. It isanticipated that by categorizing students’ mistakes into themes and providing feedback on eachof the themes, students find higher motivation for improvement compared to the situation wherethey are given individual comments on each and every one of their mistakes in an unsorted

An influential example is the Developmental Model of InterculturalSensitivity (DMIS) created by Milton J. Bennett [10]. There are six stages in the DMIS modelwhere interactants progress from relatively ethnocentric understandings of other culturesto a more differentiated, sophisticated and ethnorelative comprehension and appreciation:“Denial” reflects attitudes that only one’s own culture is in some sense real or legitimate, whileother cultures are

inequities they sought to address.Freire characterized this as “false generosity”—as charity offered that does not empower, butinstead fosters dependency. While such aid may help individuals, it also sustains inequities [10].Addressing inequality in engineering education means interrogating the origins of inequalities.Efforts to unravel those systems requires the knowledge of decolonization and engaging indecolonizing methodologies [11]. This is important to reflect on because when organizationsenter a community, they often act in colonizing ways and extend oppressive systemsmasquerading as aid. Decolonizing methodologies center community knowledge and needs andforeground the community’s own purposes.Such work is effortful and time consuming, but

Moreover, engineers are expected to have the ability to work on multi-national teams designing products in one part of the world that will be manufactured in anotherand sold in yet another. In short, engineering is in itself, a global enterprise [2]. Trainedindividuals are needed who understand participatory development and have the technical skills toaddress complex issues.
