ReadinessAbstractColleges of Engineering have increasingly emphasized the importance of engineering studentsobtaining professional skills relating to global readiness. This paper describes progress in a cross-sectional, longitudinal study to examine the impact that a College of Engineering at a large, mid-Atlantic public institution has on students’ global readiness and related constructs. Data werecollected from first-year and senior undergraduate engineering students for two years (2012-2013and 2013-2014). Research questions examined: 1) previous international experiences of incomingstudents, 2) international experiences that undergraduates have during their academic careers, 3)students’ perceived value of global readiness, 4) activities students perceive to be

Engineers for a Nation For the government of Afghanistan to succeed it must be able to protect its people,provide basic services, and enforce the rule of law. A large part of this burden lies with theANA. Trained and equipped by the coalition deployed under the leadership of the United StatesCentral Command’s Combined Security Transition Command – Afghanistan (CSTC-A) andworking with partner nations largely from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), theANA currently numbers fifty-seven thousand soldiers and is growing daily. In an effort toprovide a corps of professional officers to this growing force, in 2005 the Afghan governmentestablished a military academy envisioned to become “the crown jewel of university leveleducational and

The first section of this paper describes the meaning and rationale behindeach of the Bologna objectives, and why there is a need to establish a European areaof higher education. It also comments on how these objectives are interpreted withineducational institutions. The second section provides a mid-term report on theimplementation status within European universities, focussed primarily onengineering and technology education. The third section of this paper describes theissues associated with successfully implementing Bologna in engineering andtechnology education. These include critical issues such as degree structure, howeducational institutions are addressing the two-cycle requirement, the employabilityof

planned before the pandemic, the changes in oursupport systems and the focus of our team due to the pandemic were necessary items to considerin our research. This led us to include COVID-19 specific interview questions, and the resultsfrom these questions are discussed in their section within the results.4. Participants For this study, we interviewed 8 participants in various academic standings enrolled inengineering programs at a mid-Atlantic US university. The participants comprise 4 female and 4male students who hail from 6 different countries. Table 1 provides information on the studentsinterviewed with their home country, grade, and involvement.

-Atlantic research university has initiated a longitudinalstudy of undergraduate students’ experiences, perceptions, and beliefs. This longitudinal studyhas been using quantitative and qualitative methods to better understand the undergraduateengineering experience and how the University is preparing engineering students. A componentof this longitudinal study is learning about the experiences of international students in theCollege of Engineering.The College of Engineering at the mid-Atlantic University has experienced an increase in thefraction of international students that parallels national trends. In 2007, the percentage of first-year engineering students from outside the U.S. was 3.2%; by 2012, it had risen to 10.7%.Because of the increasing

In addition, some students also enroll for three or six weeks of the DeutscheSommerschule am Atlantik, an intensive German Summer School Program to enhance theirexposure to the target language. Participation in the German Summer School, where students canearn up to eight credits, is highly recommended, but optional. Upon arrival in Braunschweig allstudents take an additional Intensive German Summer course (4 credits) from mid September tomid October. During their semester of study abroad at Technische Universität Braunschweigthey all enroll in “Advanced Technical German” which also counts as an engineering elective (3credits), the “Intercultural Partnership Course” (IPP) which transfers
