and provides a significant reduction in the possibility of misunderstandings arising from poor translations or cultural gaps.6. Are proficient working in or directing a team of ethnic and cultural diversity. Explanation: Much engineering work is conducted in teams. As engineering work becomes more global in nature, engineering teams become more diverse and may include members of various ethnic, cultural and national origins. Developing this attribute relies heavily on developing communication skills across cultures (Dimension 2).7. Can effectively deal with ethical issues arising from cultural or national differences. Explanation: Ethical issues can be magnified when cultural issues come into play. For example, it is common in

The curriculum follows the modular international engineering educationcurriculum that attends fully the education rules for the university level of formation in thecountry. It is a very dynamic and rich program, developed in modules, followed in severalcountries in the world. It follows the trend of global formation of professionals, mainly to attendthe need of a prepared engineering educator to act in the several different cultural environments,which mobility has imposed as a fact of life for researchers and teachers at graduation level. Newcompetencies of educators are needed such as: evaluation management; developmentcompetencies; communication skills; teamwork; ethics and intercultural competencies. Thisengineering

the higher level educational systems in the developing world. Thispaper will discuss in detail the efforts that have been expended to bring NMAA to thepoint where it is and address the challenges that remain, with special emphasis on theengineering program. The authors will also address the implications of these lessons forthe broader endeavor of educational capacity-building in the developing world. Whileeach country and culture offers its own unique challenges and opportunities, we feelseveral lessons we learned have universal applicability. Among the topics discussed willbe the use of face-to-face and distance mentoring, cultural and ethical challenges, facultydevelopment, providing resources and equipment, and ensuring the continuity

The project requirements and team collaboration ethics were emphasized.Since the project required the use of CAD software, teams were arranged in such a way that atleast one of team members was familiar with a CAD software package.Each OU ME student was randomly assigned to work on a team with two Chinese students on adesign project as part of their senior design project. Since a full time faculty member was withthe students full time in China, the amount of interaction between the student groups and thesupervising faculty was significant. Informal meetings were held with each student group nearlyeveryday in China. After they returned from China, students continued to work on this project,and finished their design by the

It was anexploratory study set in the workplace milieux, using qualitative data. The theoryemerging from the literature review on changing universities was relatively immatureand had not yet been tested adequately in universities in Ireland. The various types ofuniversity model, including collegial, bureaucratic, corporate and entrepreneurialwere examined and compared with the cultures, practices and understandings ofstakeholders in this college. A story emerged about the people working and studyingin this college and in that story a change model thought by interviewees as best suitedto the
