Engineering Professionals—Russia, India, AmericaAbstractIn this global world, today’s engineer is likely to have to work in global international teamswith colleagues from other nationalities. The challenge for many engineering curricula is howto include, in a realistic way, this global dimension and increase the student’s awareness ofthe issues that are encountered. However as curricula begins to be developed, it would bebeneficial to study what the differences might be between cultures.To expose the issues that may be encountered for future multidisciplinary teams made up ofstudents from USA, Russia and India, the Miville Guzman Universal Diversity Scale(MGUDS-S) survey and form which assesses cross cultural diversity

. At [my internship] I worked with pretty young like 30’s people and then people on the top like my boss. I had to work with American managers and Japanese managers and clients all over [the world]. (Miguel) On my resume I have knowledge of AutoCAD and, yes, I learned that from my engineering degree [program] but I really (emphasis added) learned it from my summer internship when I worked with my mentor doing some CAD projects with AutoCAD mechanical. When you’re doing an AutoCAD design a lot of shapes are already built into the program so you’re creating the design for the electrical person to follow. It’s cool because I learned how to build the basic components myself. (Alexis)While

institution. It is common to include both study abroad officials and faculty. Individualschools may be relatively small and often do not have the enrollment numbers to create a costeffective study abroad contingent. By coming together, a group of schools can create agreementsamong themselves as well as with the global partner(s). The consortium then sends a large groupof students to their partner institution(s) reducing the overall cost per student as well as ensuringthe integrity of the educational experience. Member schools sometimes sign off on course creditsthough a process of triangulation. For example, if Lincoln and University of Delaware (UD) arepart of a consortium and UD gave credit for a Statics course taken at the University of the

english professor. Students gained valuable transferable skills while workingon this project including creative thinking, audience awareness, teamwork, technical writing,visual design, and communication. The authors of this paper, who include the students thatworked on the project, aim to promote and encourage the idea of undergraduate students activelyengaging and creating STEM programs and initiatives for K-12.IntroductionThe idea of STEM education has been around since the early 1900’s. Originally called, SMET(science, mathematics, engineering, and technology), educators focused on instructing studentsin skills that would benefit their future societies[1]. The idea of enriching these fields by creatingstudents well versed in them quickly
