anything, 3) collaborates, and 4) innovates. Theentrepreneurial/enterprising engineer needs a global perspective and the globalization of roboticsbrings several implications for robotics engineers, including manufacturing, food production,defense, and telepresence.Thus, the globalization of robotics carries many potentially disruptive societal impacts.Destruction of existing jobs / creation of new jobs. Enhanced security / reduced individualliberty. Longer lifespan / quality of life. Telepresence / never quite being present. Because of thedisruptive potential of their craft, Robotics Engineers bear a special responsibility to humankind,embodied in a Code of Ethics for Robotics Engineers. We conclude that in addition to a broadand rigorous

offered to cover 1) history and economics of developmentand underdevelopment in Latin America, 2) social capital, 3) the ethical foundation ofinternational assistance, and 4) the role of technology in development. Each of the lectures wasoffered by faculty from departments which encompass the topical area. Following the lectureseries, the students traveled to Lima, Peru, where the second phase of the class convened.During this phase, the group met at the campus of the Catholic University of Peru and lectureswere provided in English by faculty of this school. Because the faculty of the Catholica arespecialized in rural development, lectures during this phase focused on appropriate technology,technology transfer and project deployment. Finally

education focusbetween the pre and post-World War II; specifically following the 1955 Grinter3 3 year study.The current ABET criteria reaffirm a set of core engineering skills coupled with a second set of Page 21.65.2professional skills. The professional skills focus on communication skills, teamwork, ethics andprofessionalism; in addition to “awareness skills” as coined by Shuman4 et al, which translatesinto engineering within the global and the societal contexts coupled with life-long learning andthe knowledge of contemporary issues. Moreover, there is a recent trend of what can be called“Add-on” skills that come to complement the core engineering

concluding thoughts inSection 6. 2. Course objectives and expected student outcomes of ENGR 290ENGR 290 in part addresses several ABET defined student outcomes related to global, societal,and contemporary issues. The related ABET student outcomes include the following: (f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility (h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context (j) a knowledge of contemporary issuesTo achieve these outcomes, ENGR 290 China set out specific course objectives that focused onChina specific content such as how engineering is practiced in China, what are some of thedifferences between engineering

. Evaluated decisions or actions based on a discussed code of ethics; 4. Critically discussed the role of engineering and science in advancing and supporting global and social solutions in an economically and environmentally sustainable manner; 5. Described the jobs and activities typically performed by mechanical, electrical, petroleum, and/or chemical engineers and geoscientist in the petroleum industry.Additional specific course learning objectives focus on measurable means of assessing thinkingskills and life-long learning. The level of student attainment of the above outcomes is measuredthrough a series of formative assessments during classroom activities, written assignments andpresentations
