initiated in 2009 by the Viterbi School of Engineering at University ofSouthern California. The goal is to leverage the emerging pedagogical and technologicalinnovations to enable students around the world to engage in collaborative and interactiveengineering learning across disciplinary, physical, institutional, and cultural boundaries. Usingmodern eLearning technologies enhanced by Telepresence capability over the Internet, studentsfrom different universities attend the same class in person at networked iPodia classrooms ontheir home campuses to learn with their classmates around the globe. iPodia students learntogether from the same teacher(s) with similar course syllabus and content materials, and theymust follow identical academic requirements

Portugal have teamed with researchers at the University of Western Australiafunded by the Portuguese FCT to study engineers in the workplace.In Ireland, Dr. Kevin Kelly of Trinity College Dublin collaborated on a European-wideproject that looked at engineering recruitment, retention, and progression. In the fall of 2013,Dublin Institute of Technology established a research group specifically aimed at promotingEER across the college of Engineering and the Built Environment; leaders plan to convertthis research group into an established center on campus in the near future. Several Irishfaculty have also developed strong collaborations across the European Union for conductingEER work; however, there have been few instances of national collaboration

Inaddition to global preparedness, the remaining three categories are international contextualknowledge, personal and professional qualities, and cross-cultural communication skills andstrategies. The results of this research are intended to inform both engineering and internationaleducation.IntroductionRapidly advancing technologies, global economic integration, and hyper-connected communitieshave profoundly affected the landscape of the engineering profession and as a consequence
