Is it not uncommon for engineers to work on multi-nationalteams designing products which will be manufactured in one part of the world (e.g. Asia) to besold in another part of the world (e.g. Europe and North America). As chronicled in ThomasFriedman’s best selling book, The World is Flat1, the advances made by engineers andtechnologists have made it possible for their work to be done nearly anywhere. Engineers,therefore, need to have a broad understanding of other cultures and

proven theories and effective practices for instilling global competence. Most programs are thoughtfully designed and carefully implemented, but they are seldom rigorously and scientifically evaluated for their educational impact. Does learning a second language really matter? How long and what kinds of international experiences are best? Should international coursework be required? What subjects are needed and when should they be taken? Increasing the knowledge base of proven theories and effective practices for instilling global competence in engineering graduates, indeed all graduates, needs to be a major priority [p. 41].These problems in the current efforts in preparing students for the global

However, the insertion in labormarket sometimes demands some practice or experience that should also be provided by theengineering schools. Taking this into account, the Engineering Education Research Team ofCOPEC – Science and Education Research Council has designed and is implementing a programfor an engineering school which main goal is to prepare engineers for the future work market, theengineer for the future.

In Mexico, we designed a classroom that we call the ACE classroom. ACE comes fromthe Spanish acronym for “Aprendizaje Centrado en el Estudiante” (Student-Centered Learning);also, the pronunciation of the acronym in Spanish is identical to that of the verb “do”, and thusconveys the idea that students learn by doing in this classroom. The ACE classroom we designedis similar to the SCALE-UP (Student-Centered Active Learning Environment for UndergraduatePrograms) classroom
