Therefore, in order to get hired, and later on be able tohave a successful long term career engineers need to be trained on human behavior skills so thatthey are able to talk, interact, and work with people from different backgrounds; be worldly; beleaders if the situation calls for it; be ethical; and know how to effectively conduct themselves atprofessional environments. This need for a more broad-based engineering

ECU and CTU seem to be dedicated to making the international series a reality, SUST seems to be taking more of a lackadaisical approach. 4. Cultures influence time of work. It has been generally accepted that the mid-evening timing for the lectures to be received at SUST reasonable due to the work ethic of the Chinese populace. 5. The growing impetus for engineering students in the US to be exposed to international influences may be pushing the ECU staff more so than the international participants. 6.

Three of these definitions use the term“systems.” These authors prefer the definition by Omurtag: “Engineering management is designing, operating, and continuously improving purposeful systems of people, machines, money, time, information, and energy by integrating engineering and management knowledge, techniques, and skills to achieve desired goals in technological enterprise through concern for environment, quality, and ethics.”In the same reference, these authors also provide a list of professional societies and journals thatsupport engineering management. They list INCOSE and its journal, the Journal of SystemsEngineering. As further evidence of
