In fact, one of our respondents said, “Tosucceed, engineers must have tremendous communications skills.”At our university, our communication initiatives already take globalism somewhat into account.In our Communication-Intensive (C-I) courses, we emphasize 4 modes of communication:written, spoken, visual, and technological. Of these, only 2 are language specific. However,even when working in language-specific modes, rhetorical strategies that consider audienceneeds are taught so that language can be supplemented with graphical information, calculations,or other non-linguistic elements.

. Adefinition like this will help engineering universities focus the global education of their studentsto produce more competitive graduates for the international job market.IntroductionAs the world’s economy becomes more connected, so do the interactions between employeesaround the world. Engineers are particularly affected because of the rapidly changing technologythat continually transforms engineering practice1. In fact, because technology regularly crossesso many international boundaries, it has become evident that technology and internationalinteraction are “intrinsically entwined.”2 As universities regularly produce graduates who willwork abroad or work alongside coworkers from other cultures, the importance of providing aglobal education is

IntroductionDespite widespread acknowledgment that effective written communication is as essential forlearning as for disseminating ideas and discoveries, teaching writing and improving the qualityof student writing remain challenges for educators in engineering. National studies, such as thoseconducted by the Commission on Writing1 and the Boyer Commission on EducatingUndergraduates in the Research University2, argue that writing is a central means for developingstudents’ critical thinking, communication, and metacognitive skills. These studies urge reforms,suggesting that educators pay greater attention to writing instruction in all disciplines and urgingscience, technology, engineering, and
