-year course activities Based upon results from the faculty workshop6, active learning activities were developed for thefirst-year course at KLE Technological University (Table 1). At the workshop, Virginia Tech researchersshared experiences in integrating active learning activities into first-year courses at Virginia Tech, whichincluded activities such as straw towers, balloon drops, a sustainable energy design project, mechatronics,ethics, and watershed monitoring. During the workshop, faculty at KLE Technological University adaptedthe activities to fit their local-context and educational needs. The overarching goal of these activities wasto engage the students in active learning that would improve student learning and motivation of

perspectives and factoring in the ethical,environmental, and social aspects when delivering this content in the engineering curriculum.12Various models exist for the integration of these topics into the curriculum such as generaleducation courses, specific engineering ethics courses, and various forms of service learningopportunities.13 It is likely that a combination of these approaches will be necessary to reallydrive change in the engineering profession that starts within the university.14 Additionally,however, it is also necessary to integrate these topics directly into the core technical content ofan engineering program.15 The challenge with this approach is to find the most effectivepedagogical approaches to integrate these skills and produce a

example, the institute is accompanied by an Honor Code when it was establishedthat outlines certain standards of ethical conduct for persons associated with the institute. Thepolicies of the Honor Code apply to all students of the institute or taking courses at the institute,faculty members, staff members, and administrators. The Faculty Committee for Discipline(FCD) consists of faculty members and imposes sanctions on students that have been found tohave violated the Honor Code. The decisions of the FCD are ordinarily final.The JI is a US-like system within a Chinese institution and a private-like college of a publicuniversity. This unique identity creates challenges as well as opportunities for the institute toexperience differences between the

scales of the EGPI are GlobalEngineering Ethics and Humanitarian Values; Global Engineering Efficacy; EngineeringGlobal-centrism; and Global Engineering Community Connectedness. At the post-test, theinternational research students scored higher than domestic students on three of the four scales(all except Engineering Global-centrism). Similarly, the international research students improvedthree of their four scales from pre-test to post-test (Global Engineering Ethics and HumanitarianValues; Global Engineering Efficacy; and Global Engineering Community Connectedness); thedomestic students decreased on all four scales.

Citizens  Engineering Students preparedness for working globally  Evaluation of learning programsIt should be noted that developing assessment and evaluation methods in this area is inherently complex,given the list of areas to be investigated, including ethics, social norms, global difference along withstudents own biases based on culture, racial and ethnic position, socio-economic status etc. [12] Thereare also research philosophy and methodological issues to consider, most qualitative measures of globalpreparedness or awareness are by nature, self-efficacy which may call into question the level of ability ofstudents to self-assess given their respective levels of experience. As an example, a recent study into theEWB-USA chapter at

assistance with the consent of the instructor, and maintain effective working relationships among the members. Instructors also 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. Experience definitely is a majorfactor. A proper start for instructors wanting to try active learning for the first time(including cooperative learning) is to step into it gradually, and to seek continuous feedbackas to how
