Additional criteria are included toensure alignment of the experience with the student’s Grand Challenges theme area, and clearlydefine the expected effort and time commitment.Multidisciplinary CompetencyThe Multidisciplinary Competency focuses on the development of interdisciplinary perspectivesneeded to understand the global challenges facing society and to create effective engineeringsolutions. This includes understanding the connections between engineering and other areas suchas policy, economics, ethics, business, law, and human behavior. At ASU this competency maybe achieved through a combination of courses and experiences, so criteria have

engineeringstudents. First-year engineering courses serve as an introduction for students to the concepts,ethics, and the eco-system of the field of engineering. These courses also help budding engineerssolidify their engineering identities. Recent years have seen a greater call for developingengineers who are able to diverse and ambiguous real-world problems [1]. This call for reformcomes from the industry as well as the call from the Accreditation Board for engineering andTechnology (ABET) [2]. Engineering students often go on to becoming committed professionalsbut also leaders in their communities. Therefore, it is extremely important to develop studentengineers who are able to work collaboratively in interdisciplinary teams [3]; take on short- andlong

It is no surprise that a supportive learning environment would bring about student successand that historically underrepresented groups experience additional need for this support.Moreover, diversifying the gender and ethnic representation of ECpE graduates would yield amore diverse engineering work force more equipped to meet the challenges of tomorrow.Diverse teams are beneficial for an amalgam of moral, equitable, and innovative reasonsincluding improved problem solving and improved work outcomes [17]. This representation anddiversification is pertinent for professional and ethical advancement.

There are also subtleties of the course flow that make it possible tocover many topics, such as introducing inflation early in the course in an early case study so it isalready familiar to students when the inflation chapter finally rolls around.A listing of topics covered in the course in order they are presented in class is shown in Table 1.

, pains, challenges, mistakes, etc. of being human. A second goalin developing such narrative is to avoid explanation. Simply tell it. Force the students “into thestory” and give them the power to read between the lines. [6]Design case studies, ethical issues, and real-world problem statements are usually presented innarrative format, but not all engineering documents should be written as stories. Lab reports andproject reports are properly written in a passive third-person, and “Five measurements weremade of the field strength” is preferable to “We measured the field strength five times.”However, story format may be fitting in any section on personal contributions or reflections.Strategic use of stories in class can capture the interest of
undergraduateengineering curricula. Communication, especially in the context of working with teams and othersoutside of business organizations, was lacking in new engineers, and they emphasized teamworkskills from capstone design projects to hold the most value. Survey results also found that criticalthinking, seen in design skills for parts, processes, and systems were of utmost importance forsuccess in the workplace.Through a survey of Atlanta area construction engineers and managers, the highest emphasis wasplaced on competencies of “communication, ethics, professionalism, commitment to lifelonglearning, and multi-disciplinary team collaboration.” In comparing these industry preferences withundergraduate engineering programs, the study concluded that

andprofessional skills within the teaching framework to train successful future engineers [1]. Mostengineering programs define the core of engineering curricula as mathematics, science,engineering analysis, and design; however, students need more than just technical skills [2]. In2004, the National Academy of Engineering indicated that engineering graduates need to beprepared to address the complex technical, social, and ethical questions raised by emergingtechnologies [3]. In addition, at a recent department Industry Advisory Council (IAC) meeting,professional engineers indicated that entry-level engineers from our university have the technicalskills, but need further training in interpersonal and professional skills. However, developingstandalone

Similarly,visiting a potential employer site which employs many or all of the disciplines in the coursemakes it easier for students to envision how the skills they are developing will interface withthose of their peers in another discipline and how all the disciplines work together to developengineered solutions.One way that was simple to communicate which content “belongs” to a discipline was to usecolor codes on the schedule to show what activities/lessons apply to all disciplines(communications, ethics, engineering design process, etc.) and which are more specificallyfocused on a given discipline

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.

Did the virtual setting present an opportunity to reach a broader community?BackgroundEngineering education has experienced transitions before, often during large cultural shifts. Afterthe Second World War there was a significant transition in STEM curricula toward scientificintegration [3]. In the early 2000s the change in ABET requirements for ethics created anothersea change in engineering curricula [4]. The increase in active learning and evidence-basedinstructional practices has started a slower change in engineering education during the last 20years.Another example of
