words that they are citizens of the world as well as citizens of a particular country. An ability to exhibit a global mindset includes an understanding and avoidance of ethnocentrism, the idea that one’s own culture is superior to all other cultures. An ability to exhibit a global mindset is a state of mind that provides a positive disposition to be successful in a global environment8, 17, 25, 26, 27.   Engineers who exhibit a global mindset are “able to place technology in a global context, recognize the multidisciplinary and multicultural approaches to problem solving…and achieve a greater understanding of diversity”6. Each engineer should also comprehend the international dimensions of his/her major field of study28

I’ve had…complete ideas scrapped because they didn’t meet the end goal. And so it’s kind of like working jointly, and I think from my experiences, in order for it to be successful, an in-depth knowledge of your user has to come first so that you can make sure you’re designing to their specifications. But as I’ve learned and had different solutions rejected, I’ve

Over time,there are changes in occupational classifications – for example, in 1997 and 1998 electrical andelectronic engineers were considered a single sub discipline, but in 1999 and thereafter they weretreated separately. The surveys designed to collect employment data may be treated differentlyby employers, who may classify employees in the same occupation differently. Finally, the OESdata are collected as averages across time periods, a methodology that may not reveal suddenchanges very quickly. The Bureau of Labor Statistics acknowledges the limitations of the data inthe OES, and suggests that conclusions drawn from survey data be viewed with caution. With

The results of thismathematical approach in engineering education seem to be straightforward, maybe evenobvious.In architectural programs, however, this most effective teaching methodology of structuralengineering principles seems to need some additional pedagogical consideration or “treats” tomake the students more attracted, motivated and remain focused.
