curiosity anddesire for continuous learning and an appreciation of globalization, ethical responsibility anddiversity.The challenge that many educators have faced is how to teach students many of the professionalskills. The traditional classroom setting may not easily lend itself to effective training ofoutcomes such as life-long learning, ethical and professional responsibility, or understanding theglobal context of engineering solutions. Therefore, it becomes necessary to look beyond theclassroom for the means to adequately prepare future graduates. Students develop theirknowledge and skill over time, and it is the cumulative result of the curricular path they follow(i.e. the courses they take), the pedagogies employed by their instructors, and

trying tofacilitate innovation in their employees, but students are not learning how to be creative in arapidly changing world 1. For solving this problem it is necessary to project the integrativeeducational system (cluster) for training creatively thinking students.For this objective an innovative educational model, new methodology and technology, newthinking, and higher level of consciousness become necessary. Models of contemporaryengineering education and activity must be based on general models which take intoconsideration the unity of the world in its complex connections, and ecological, ethical,aesthetical principles. In the process of developing the model an attention was focused on thefundamentalization of education, which is based

diversity and the role of leadership.Bhattacharyya1 proposes that civil engineers deal with the public and relate to people as apolitical body thus the use of the term civil. Bhattacharyya1 states that civil engineers havedeveloped the greatest cities in the world and that they must be aware of the different cultures.Bhattacharyya1 also emphasizes the role of ethics as a means to promote public welfare.The issue of ethics is of a great importance to engineers and constructors and it is even a biggerof a challenge to those who wish to be involved in international projects. This is becauseethically acceptable behavior can mean different things in different cultures. Furthermore, evenwhen people agree that a certain behavior may be construed as

Storytelling as an Effective Mean for Stimulating Students' Passion in Engineering ClassesAbstractStorytelling was employed as a powerful tool in stimulating students' interest in the classroom ofa sophomore level course in engineering design. Over two years, students’ assessment of themethodology was obtained through a survey that incorporated students that have and not havetaken the course. The outcome of students’ satisfaction and support of telling stories by theinstructor was overwhelming among both groups of students. The impact was not targetedtowards just creating passion in the classroom, but the active participation and reflection on thestories was sought to lead to ethical values pedagogy. To gain multi-cultural

The instrument wasdeveloped by the Georgia Tech Office of Assessment and uses an externally validated General Self-Efficacy Scale to assess an individual’s ability to cope with stressful life events.30 We selected thisinstrument as one of the assessment tools for NanoJapan because it is specific to technicalinternships and allows comparison with a referent group of

31% to a B+ (89%). In the mid-semester evaluations for the Spring 2014course, 98% of students noted that working in a group has contributed to their understanding ofthe course material. Engineers in the workforce are constantly working with others on variousprojects. Another student explains that working in a group motivates students to stay on top oftheir work load as well as encourages them to produce higher quality work. This student states,“Working in a group allows me to work harder to guarantee that I do not let my partners down.”This accountability not only improves the students’ work ethic but also improves the way theyinteract with their peers. By exposing teamwork early in student engineering development theygain a sense of

Today’sengineer must possess more than just what has been traditionally considered technical skills andmust do more than just problem solving. He/she must be able to use creative thinking andinnovative design principles, while grasping importance of changing technologies. Moreover,working within multidisciplinary teams of other industry professionals and communicatingeffectively across all disciplines is of paramount importance 2.Involvement and, for some, leadership roles in “real world” projects that “balance technicalsolutions with social, cultural, environmental, economic, and sustainability concerns, in

management was a huge success, with exceptionally high-levelspeakers including Ministers from Egypt and Iraq, and the Advisor to the King of Jordan, topmanagement from Arab Contractors League and other prominent individuals. It is easy to seehow a student is impacted when he/she hears directly from the person making policies that affectan entire country or organizations so large that they affect an entire region of the world. Inexposing Bradley students to these experiences, the author has enriched their cultural andprofessional knowledge and directly addressed at least three program outcomes (understandingof professional and ethical responsibility, broad education in a global context, and contemporaryissues) listed in ABET’s Criterion 3.3.3 Impact
