) Par Amigo InitiativeEngineering programs throughout the world have accepted the challenge of educating the globalengineer. The required standards in technical, communication and social skills for globalengineers must be integrated into the cultural context of engineering programs in differentcountries. Internationally recognized accreditation is an important way for programs to not onlyguarantee quality, and contribute to regional capacity building and economic development, butalso to develop the continuous improvement and assessment tools that strengthen engineeringprograms. These tools are essential in the development of engineering programs that can educatethe global engineer of the future. The Par Amigo (Peer Mentor) Initiative developed

learning is not only knowledgeacquisition or participation in a social community but also about knowledge creation as in thecase of project based learning. Similarly the new developments in electronic media are leading toenormous challenges for teachers in regards to the role digital devices can and should play in thelearning process. For some educators, the view is that technology should only be utilized as atool to help facilitate student understanding and mastery of the current curriculum. Whereas forother educators, technology is as fundamental to learning as reading and writing and thereforemust become an integral segment of the school curriculum. The paper also discusses new trendsand teaching methodologies to help improve the state of

'better' than their peers, and hence Khan Academyserves a supplemental purpose to learning as well. Khan Academy videos are notrecommended for people experienced with the subject at hand, as Khan gives thebasics only. However, if students wish to refresh their skills, Khan Academy is agreat place to go to, due to its exercises and videos. Khan Academy is a greatplace to learn, as Khan rewards you for learning more. A small improvementwould be the 'review' system- after a student has completed a set of exercises,after a while, Khan Academy marks the exercise as needing review. Students haveto go through the entire set of exercises again to get rid of the review marker.Another MOOC which is rapidly gaining traction in their course offerings
