could put some international engineering practices at odds with U.S.norms, there appears to be little evidence. The most important cultural aspects in this regard arethose associated with professional ethics. In a pair of articles published in Civil Engineering magazine, Tara Hoke, J.D., generalcounsel to the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), explored the characteristics of awide variety of engineering codes of ethics from a mix of developed and developing countriesaround the world in comparison to the ASCE Code of Ethics.14,15 She examined provisions inthe codes that address competence, truthfulness, faithful agency, fair competition, corruption,honor, integrity, dignity of the profession, professional development, and inclusion

the challenges faced bya typical faculty, as they are few in number. The following paragraphs discuss the variouschallenges faced by faculty.Faculty experience high levels of stress during their probationary years, working towards theirtenure [2], [3]. Of the many requirements for tenure, the requirement of sufficient publications isa tough one to achieve given all the new teaching assignments, student advising, service,research and more. One of the hurdles faced by new faculty is to publish, hence knowledge ofmechanisms to improve scholarship of publications will aid in achieving their goal to securetenure. In addition, ethical considerations of scholarship of publications has to be taken intoaccount when discussing scholarship of publishing

working.Specifically, outcome 2 is that they would demonstrate “an ability to apply engineering design toproduce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, andwelfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors [1].” Outcome 4requires “an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situationsand make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions inglobal, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.” Arguably outcomes 3 and 5, whichexpect that engineering graduates demonstrate the abilities to communicate with a range ofaudiences and to work effectively as team members, also require a working understanding ofmulticultural

Students still experiencecultural diversity, challenges with linguistic barriers, and differing norms and ethics similar to anexperience of longer duration.Global CompetencePresently the engineering industry is changing rapidly in terms of technology more than everbefore. Engineers are expected to keep up with the change of pace by constantly upgradingthemselves with technical engineering competence and to develop additional skillsets, includingglobal competence to survive in a global engineering environment. A key element to developglobal competence and perspective is

. By using Project Drawdown’s 100 technical, ecological, and social solutions [7,8,9,10]for reversing global warming as a framework to implement the UN SDGs in a developing country,the new program presents several advantages. First, it provides students with the ability to identifyand formulate engineering problems in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.Second, it provides an academic setting to produce solutions to meet a spectrum of considerationsfor real communities, including public health, safety, and welfare. Third, it enables the applicationof ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations to make informed decisions.In order to be competitive, aspiring engineers must be taught to: 1) explore
