The capabilities and power of multi-coreprocessing can and should be applied to assist students’ visual learning and design advancedsystems in undergraduate courses.

Using student-level data inKentucky, Delaney20 found that students were more likely to major in science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) after the adoption of merit-based scholarship. In contrast,Hu21 revealed a significant drop in the percentage of STEM students since Florida initiated theBright Futures merit-based scholarship.

. It is interesting to note that in reviewing the literature on global competence in highereducation, a rather discipline specific dichotomy emerges. The scholarship published in non-engineering and technology journals tends to emphasize the definition of global competenceitself and a rather idealized vision of the globally competent learner as ―one who recognizes thegeopolitical and economic interdependence of our world; understands the non-universality ofculture, religion and values, is committed to global, lifelong learning…accepts the importance of Page 25.238.2all peoples…‖ among other things [2].

As such, it is susceptible topotential exaggerated expectations, as well as to misunderstandings and even lack of definitionsof its true scope and meaning. In many ways, it is being developed directly in industry, and anatural separation exists between practitioners and educators, which makes incorporating thepractice into the educational system a lagging process.

Most major automobilemanufacturers are now selling hybrids (most famously, the Toyota Prius) and hybrids make upnearly 3% of light-duty vehicle sales.Unfortunately, much of the benefit of this innovative technology is lost to US engineers, sincethe design and development of the vehicles with the highest sales figures were done elsewhere.In fact, less than 10% of hybrid-electric vehicle sales went to US manufacturers in the years2005–20098.
