thethree (i.e. engineering ethics, engineering cultures, and regulations and standards). The studentsdemonstrated that they were very much aware of the constraints they were working under bykeeping in mind the cultural context in which they were working. For instance, Craig, who hadworked with EWB-U for nearly 3 years, noted how his first summer trip was focused ondesigning and implementing the system. The second year was focused on design changes,implementation, and initial assessment of the system. The upcoming trip was focused onimplementing changes based on the 2nd year’s assessment, and conducting further assessment ofthe system. When asked to give an example of how the design might change year to year, Craigstated: [Craig]: “I think

Empirical StudyIntroductionIndian engineering education system is one of the colossal educational systems. As per the AllIndia Council of Technical Education (AICTE) report of 2012-13, it has 3,384 colleges admitting1.63 Million students1. The system has almost no attrition and is graduating more or less theentire intake. The study of Blom and Saeki2 shows that 64% of employers are only somewhatsatisfied or worse with the current engineering graduate skills. Earlier, NASSCOM andMcKinsey report (2005)3 had found that 75% of engineering graduates are not employable bymultinational companies. A recent report by Aspiring Mind found that there is a drop inemployability in all roles and at all locations. It has noted that the decrease in employability

Tenaris, the leading supplier of pipes and relatedservices for the energy industry, that was the partner for this program, has an aggressive growthplan in the Central Texas area where the Dwight Look College of Engineering (Look College) ofTexas A&M University is located. As is right now, Tenaris already hires several students of theLook College. However, due to the lack of presence or awareness of this company in the mind ofstudents, some of the best students choose to go to other companies when selecting theirinternship and employment place. This was the first incentive for Tenaris to approach the LookCollege for a partnership – to increase their

It refreshedthe students’ minds by introducing the latest trend, state-of-art philosophies and concepts inmanufacturing field. It also provided the students with a systematic way to creatively combinetheory and applications to solve practical problems.By integrating the American teaching style, a student-centered environment was created and itprovided a positive atmosphere to enhance student learning. The students showed high learningpassion, strong interest in solving open-ended questions, significant self-motivation of usingLean concepts to address their research

With this in mind, we set out to design anddeliver a study abroad program composed from learning theory that would specifically appeal toengineering students, overcome their typical barriers to participation, and contribute to ABETstudent learning outcomes.This paper describes the motivation, key development elements, and outcomes for this course,titled Engineering Rome, which was delivered for the first time in 2013. Course outcomes aremeasured by student surveys and feedback comments and analysis is specifically tailored toaddress the following three questions: 1. To what extent did the framework of this course (time frame, subject matter, location) address issues that often impede students

ConclusionThis paper presents a study that compares the team effectiveness between globally distributedand locally distributed engineering teams that are built upon the engineering classes. The resultshows that the locally distributed teams significantly outperformed the globally distributed teamsin terms of the measures of utilization of resources, experimentation/creativity, and evaluation ofteam functions. Such results can be used for instructors to better prepare student’s mind in termsof how to succeed in a distributed teams as individuals and how to mingle all team memberstowards a more functional team.

engineering education (TEE)component of the program. Three main goals for the curricula are: (1) to immerse learners in challengingand stimulating classrooms where reliance in memorization, as normally done in the Dominicanclassrooms, is discouraged and the focus is instead on critical thinking, creativity, discovering engineeringand technology, and building collaborative (and leadership) skills. (2) Motivate the learners' curiosity andinstill in the young minds interest for learning. As previously stated, the Dominican classroomsconsistently discourage curiosity, creativity, and inquiry. (3) Improve understanding of the nature ofscience, engineering, and technology to widen the horizons, motivate students to pursue studies in STEMfields, and

-comprehension, and ethnic identity on theother hand. Fostering the development of mankind, modern technology, and globalcommunication requires an open mind and cross-cultural communicational competence. Thisis especially true for engineers. Labor and academic mobility is one of the key factors inglobal scientific and technological development. As a tool of the Bologna Process, mobilityestablishes the basis for a system of education and for an efficient global labor market. Academic mobility: Approaches and Methodology There is substantial research on the formation and development of university students’academic mobility [2]. Various definitions of the term show different aspects of academicmobility as a phenomenon. Globalization in

Furthermore, epistemologies also vary across national and cultural contexts,33 suggestingthat global competency requires understanding that others have different epistemologies. Theconstruct of global competency is clearly epistemological, but exact relationships between thetwo have not yet been investigated.Empirical Inspiration for Theoretical ExplorationSince 2011, we have been conducting interviews with twenty-seven current and former civilengineering students at a public university in the United States. Participants were students fromtheir sophomore year of university through their first year as practicing engineers.
