Deviation 21.223 Figure 3 – Partial View of a Sample Team ALP Competition Results Table.To motivate students to continuously improve their problem-solving skills, while ensuring a highlevel of transparency, ethics, and accountability, an online competition is organized among classteams for the purpose of obtaining the highest Active Learning Performance (ALP) grades. Inthis regard, while the (student) ALP grade is essentially the average grade obtained by thestudent on the quizzes conducted in class augmented by the bonus points that he/she obtained onthe OTR, as mentioned previously, the Team ALP is defined as the sum of the ALP grades of allteam members. The bonus points are first posted by the moderator on the OTR, through the so

have coursework thataddresses diversity and culture as well as social and ethical issues. A course focused ondeveloping global competencies can certainly overlap with these established requirementsproviding an opportunity for a course that meets both sets of needs.Downey [6] described a framework of educating globally competent engineers in terms ofknowledge and abilities related to cultural and national differences as well as a developedpredisposition of respect toward others. Klein-Garner and Walker [7] report on dimension ofglobal competence that also reflect knowledge, ability and attitude, including: the ability tocommunicate across cultures, the ability to appreciate other cultures, the ability to understandimplications of cultural
ethicsstatements, engineers identify service to humankind as their greater purpose. In other words,social responsibility lies at the core of the engineering profession. The social responsibility ofengineers is to carefully evaluate the full range of broader impacts of their designs on the health,safety, and welfare of the public environment. Half a century after the creed originated, ourworld is facing irreparable damage and destruction that has direct connections to andrepercussions from the consequences of engineering. More specifically, there was and continuesto be a lack of comprehensive engineering assessment of the societal, ethical, health and safety,environmental, political, and sustainability issues and a lack of systems thinking [9] that can

Our implementation case study demonstrates how to contextualize andoperationalize design thinking at regular course level to facilitate the development of globalcitizenship in engineering students. We hope this work has answered the vital question of “whatcan engineering educators do for sustainable development?” and prompt further discussion onengineering education for sustainable development.Background and Literature ReviewEngineering education for sustainable developmentEngineers are entrusted by the public to apply their professional knowledge and skills to innovate,design and implement solutions

First, thecategories of cost, availability, and curriculum needed streamlining for comparison purposes.Then, best practices needed to be identified, for both domestic and international programs.Common themes of coursework in the life sciences, biotechnology, and policy/ethics wereidentified. Often, programs would require or prefer a bachelors in health science, life sciences, orengineering with common requirements of the advanced degree mandating courses in tissueengineering, stem cell engineering and related disciplines. The international programs focusedmore on global processes than domestic ones. In addition, there was a

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 the course is going and how the students feel about it.

ABET student outcomes are not entirelytechnical and include that students must have an understanding of professional and ethicalresponsibility, the broad education necessary to understand engineering impacts in a global andsocietal context, and knowledge of contemporary issues. Nevertheless, discussing the societaland ethical implications of engineering and technology is often a daunting task for bothengineering students and instructors [5].At our university, as part of a National Science Foundation (NSF) Revolutionizing Engineeringand Computer Science Departments (RED
