this qualitativecase study was to better understand engineering students’ learning experiences in a EWB project,looking specifically at how students participating on the project exhibit attributes of globalengineering competencies. The case study investigates an EWB project with the mission ofdesigning and implementing a solar-powered electricity system for a school in Uganda. Wefound that students do exhibit attributes of global engineering competencies, although attributesregarding engineering cultures and ethics were exhibited more strongly than attributes regardingglobal regulations and standards. We discuss implications of these findings for educationalpractice and future research.IntroductionProviding engineering students opportunities

: technical coordination; understanding and negotiating engineering cultures;and navigating ethics, standards and regulation.16 Yet, the knowledge, skills, and attitudesrequired remain a subject of ongoing empirical research.17 Moreover, the lists of attributes thathave been developed suffer from methodological and theoretical concerns and are largely notgrounded in empirical research.18One broad definition of global competency is “the knowledge, ability, and predisposition to workeffectively with people who define problems differently than they do.”19 As this definitionhighlights, global competency requires not only specific knowledge, but also the ability andpredisposition to recognize that engineering problems are defined and solved differently

underserved communities globally.Prior research shows that difficulties often arise as students arrive unprepared to addressthe cultural and technical challenges international work entails. For example, oneparticular case study in Gary Downey’s book highlighted the challenges inimplementation of a program to connect student engineers with underserved communitiesin an international setting. Differences in culture and language coupled with thegeographical distance compounded made the project untenable and it had to stop. Someof the reasons she cited included that “the large body of knowledge in the developmentarea was not readily accessible or available to engineers,” and students did not activelyseek out the ethical and social understanding necessary

Instructors also should monitor group progress, give feedback on how well each group is doing, report each group’s progress to the class as a whole, and insure adherence to accepted standards of: ethics, social responsibility, and safety.Success in implementing cooperative learning is attributable, in large measure, to: properplanning, efforts, dedication, and foresight of the instructor.

Further, they all come from the United States, which severely limits theirrepresentativeness. Future comparative work in the area would be worthwhile.

, such as through first-year introduction to engineeringcourses or through required design “cornerstone” subjects throughout the undergraduatecurriculums across the US. This is partly driven by the requirements that ABET sets forengineering degrees. ABET Criteria 3 (a) through (k) include design explicitly, especially Page 26.1362.2through criteria (c) and (e). The ABET criteria also implicitly include design throughrequirements for teamwork, ethics, social context, and other broad considerations. Another  driving factor to include engineering design in freshman courses is to increase student interest inengineering, improve retention, and improve
