My view of what I might do in my career has expanded. 8. I have a better understanding of globalization. 9. I know better how to communicate across culture. 10. My leadership abilities have been increased.For convenience, questions have been re-numbered for discussion in this article. All questions, except question 6,have a seven-point Likert scale (1=strongly disagree, 4=neither disagree or agree, 7=strongly agree) followed by anopen-ended section for specific examples.The survey was emailed to all student participants near the completion of their program as inprevious years.

We have found that donors like to support these programs. Many of them have “lived this experience” in their professional careers and are anxious to provide support for what they feel is “the real world.” • We have also faced some challenges. One challenge was unexpected and more physical in nature—three faculty developed blood clots (two while abroad) directly related, we think, to sitting down for long periods of time while flying. One faculty member suffered a heart attack while in China. Fortunately we had two faculty directors on

CENews published the results of a survey they conducted that supported this claimsaying that “[W]e’ve talked about [what] we need to incorporate perhaps more in the education,so that students [who graduate are] more prepared for a job, and that includes management skills,written skills, oral communication skills, ethics, technical skills, more broad-based knowledge,more emphasis on humanities.” There is evidence that study abroad experiences, particularlysemester long programs, improve soft skills such as writing

In the USA, students applying for universityadmission are generally assessed on the basis of their grade point average (GPA) in their highschool classes and by scores on standardized tests, generally the SAT and/or ACT. In the UK,universities look at the number of “A-Levels” that a student acquired during their secondaryeducation career and what subjects those occurred in.

Because the middle years of the engineering curricula tend to focus on developing analyticalskills, students do not see many undefined problems at that stage, so this introduction can broaden theirunderstanding of the engineering profession. The EWB Challenge provides valuable engineeringbackground, introduces students to international development issues early in their careers, and connectsthem to a larger international effort that includes students from all over the world. The students at Colorado State University seem to have become more interested in being active ininternational efforts such as EWB projects so the EWB Challenge can be used as a complement to theexisting EWB-USA efforts.

These benchmarks forsuccess include: “an ability to learn how to learn, an ability to form learning communities,and an ability to collaborate in distributed corporate settings, across countries, continents andcultures”[3].Universities attempt to capture the demand for the new skillset by revising and extending theexistent intended learning outcomes (ILOs) to include references to the meta-competencies.Biggs and Tang[5] note that the most effective ILOs will challenge students to go further than‘solve’ or ‘explain’, asking instead to ‘apply to professional practice’, ‘hypothesise’,‘reflect’, even ‘relate to principles’, in short to demonstrate the so-called higher-orderthinking skills
