to which extent an optimum has been accomplished orits reasons for a failure. Thus, the implied demand for a social, environmental andeconomical responsibility of ones own actions characterizes the modern and likewisepractice-oriented concepts of vocational education. In view of this development in the field ofvocational education and taking into consideration the fact that each individual has to be ableto fill a big spot in the larger scope in the flat personnel hierarchies of current concepts ofconceptualizing and producing, a scientific engineering university education is not able toclose its mind to these progressions.This means that: With all due respect to the importance of practice-orientation, meaning thefacilitation of preplanned

According to FSES of higher professionaleducation, university has to provide socio-cultural environment for harmonized personaldevelopment. Growing social significance of engineers in the contemporary global context of rapidtechnological changes and constant innovational processes in industry require engineeringuniversity graduates to by flexible and adaptive, to have open mind and be ready for innovations.Besides, future engineer should be able to integrate into global technological network, be mobileand communicate with colleagues all over the world. Therefore social-psychological competenceof future

their work, it is easy for the efforts of the participating students to be uneven and this may reduce the effectiveness of technical skill development. o Students strengthen their technical skills though the whole engineering design process which includes several unique aspects such as consideration of local technologies and construction techniques, different design criteria or boundary conditions, etc. This process of having to adapt to situations outside their common areas of comfort with U.S. design methods and materials is, in my mind, one of the most enriching aspects of international service learning in rural communities in Latin America.4) What motivated you to incorporate international service

Online tools create a short-term collective memory where ideascan be rapidly improved by many minds.” Industry has top level program goals that may requiremultinational team work and the synergistic support structure of extremely large teams where noone person understands all the systems of systems in detail.There is a growing trend of global, multi-company collaboration within the aerospacecommunity. With the growing maturity of information technology and ever-increasingcomplexity of modern engineering and education, many parent companies form partnershipswith specialty teams in order to facilitate rapid development across all subsystems of a project.For example, the Boeing Company purchases roughly
