The two countries have the size and weight to transform the 21stglobal economy. This aspect will certainly have an impact on the education in western world too.Although the reality is that India and China will always have an advantage in their numbers, bythe other hand in western world there are the freest markets, the most highly trained workforce,the resources and ability to innovate, and the best universities in the world.History facts show the innumerous achievements of so many engineers all around the world whohave diligently built and transformed the environment

Combining design and engineering, students will develop origami products by adopting the process of re-framing problems in human-centric ways, creating ideas through brainstorming, prototyping, and testing. Part of the Global Engineering Leadership Minor, this course capitalizes on the design thinking approaches taught and links them to the leadership skills of team formation, empathy, team creativity, giving and receiving feedback, leading through conflict, and reflection.The course has consistently been in demand from students, with enrollments typically falling inthe 40-50 range over its tenure.

design of an innovative crutch. A predetermined (and controllable by the user) electrical signal was generated with each crutch impact with the ground and then used to control the “damping” constant of the system (through the MR fluid) to reduce the impact shock of the crutch. The design was fabricated but met with only limited success because a damper system with a satisfactory orifice opening was not found. The iron particles present in the MR fluid tended to plug up the orifice.

to see the educational innovations of passionate and talented educators, but howdo these innovations get adopted? It is hard for even the best educational innovations totransfer to a colleague’s classroom16 It is less likely for an innovation to be adopted by adifferent university. As a result, many engineering educators are re-inventing the wheel andexcellent innovations are underutilized.If educators had unlimited temporal resources this would not be an issue. But manytransformative educational practices require teams of people to develop and test. Others arethe result of a personal passion and decades of building, coding, writing, and/or tweaking.Educators do not have the luxury of dedicating years of effort to a project that affects

A flow chart of the strategy isshown in Figure 1.The iterative nature of the system allows students to tackle more complex, innovative andrealistic product development projects. This is important for the following reasons: 1. Potential employers desire student who have experience developing complex products. 2. Developing complex products forces students to confront difficult technical and market challenges. 3. The principles of product design and development are better illustrated with complex products than with simple products. 4. Complex products require iteration

Introduction In the past two decades, the extensive research on teaching methods has provided an increasingamount of insight in the most effective active teaching and learning processes1,2. The outcomes ofdifferent studies vary, but a major consensus is that active learning works3: at worst, active learningdoesn’t harm students’ outcomes; at best, it doubles students’ retention4. Consequently, activelearning was incorporated in fields such as STEM,5,6 history and political sciences,7 and business8.Each field, however, focused on different active elements: business school courses are traditionallyknown as mostly case-study based, while engineering courses

Cech’s research identifies threepillars of engineering education culture that decrease a student’s level of engagement with publicwelfare over time [11]. The three pillars: depoliticization, social/technical dualism, andmeritocracy; affect how engineers engage with public welfare, which can be extended to apply toother social issues such as unconscious bias. To effectively raise awareness of unconscious biasand encourage
