they wanted to look toward a future whereengineering no longer just encompasses traditional concepts. A sustainable and peaceful futurerequires a new engineering education mindset that integrates social, humanistic, health,environmental, financial, entrepreneurial, arts and many other disciplines for the good of allliving species. That is why the concept of Peace Engineering is a game changer.In addition to the academic communities from over the world, there was a significant amount ofparticipation, sponsorship and commitment from the industrial, non-profit, and governmentalsectors. In all there were over 500 participants for this three-day intensive conference. Peoplefrom 44 countries and 301 academic institutions gathered at this event

Sky’s the Limit: Drones for Social Good courseincludes critical aspects that relate to multiple engineering disciplines, which allows students toidentify the connections between drones and their particular engineering concentration. Thecourse is also multi-disciplinary and encourages critical social reflection. Students consider abroad range of applications of drones with the goal of promoting social good. The courseculminates in an entrepreneurial project that incorporates knowledge and skills from severalengineering disciplines in the context of engineering for social good.Research has found that female, Black, and/or Latinx engineering students are drawn to pursuingcareers that they identify as promoting social justice and a greater social

derived from one culture but then decontextualized from this culture and traveled to othercultures. For instance, dominant images of American engineering education such as student-centered, active learning, outcome-based assessment, and the entrepreneurial mindset originatedin the United States but have become global forms and traveled to other places in the worldincluding China. The global nature of these dominant images also provides a methodologicaljustification that explains why we should learn the dominant images of American engineeringeducation before we discuss Chinese engineering education. A major goal of Chineseengineering educators is to respond to those globalized images of engineering educationtraveling from the United States. In

advice from an industry professional. This should be part of professionaldevelopment.Other topics emphasized at Baylor University are creativity, connections and creating value.Baylor University is part of the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN). KEEN is“a national partnership of universities with the shared mission to graduate engineers with anentrepreneurial mindset so they can create personal, economic, and societal value through alifetime of meaningful work” [28]. This is accomplished by incorporating entrepreneuriallyminded learning (EML) into the classroom, instilling curiosity, connections, and creating valuein the students. What results is a mindset and skillset which prepares Baylor University studentsto be competitive in

institutional priorities and culture.This framework aspires to serve as a holistic scaffolding for educating next generation globalcitizens, not just next generation engineers. As the NAE states, “addressing the NAE GrandChallenges will require the efforts and talents of many graduates educated in a range ofengineering and non-engineering disciplines.” As such, “the goal of each institutional [GCSP] isto prepare students for the multicultural, multidisciplinary, entrepreneurial, socially consciousglobal engagement needed for 21st century engineering” [3].It has been a decade since the NAE’s seminal report and the inaugural Summit on the NAEGrand Challenges for Engineering at Duke University, where the NAE moved to endorse theGCSP as an educational
