have pledged to graduate at least 20 students specificallytrained in solving large-scale problems like the Grand Challenges.14The GCS program was developed such that each school could develop its own methods forstudent fulfillment of five program competencies. These five GCS program competencies areshown in Figure 1. The program competencies within the GCS program are intended to providethe foundation for graduates to tackle large-scale challenges, such as the 14 outlined in the NAEGrand Challenges for Engineering.14 Hands-on Project or Research Experience • Related to a Grand Challenge Interdisciplinary Curriculum • A curriculum that complements engineering fundamentals with courses in other fields, preparing

The ETW veteran organized the workshopcontent, oriented the seminar presenters and mentors, and ensured that background materialswould be used effectively, including texts, board writing materials, and posters of the teachingmodel and other key frameworks. He prepared the ice-breaker and team-building exercises andmaintained the workshop as a large-scale demonstration of the teaching model. He also removedthe careful incorporation of civil engineering content from the ETW study guide and slides andmade a deliberate effort to ensure that the workshop contents could be

technology parks tolure back native talent and produce world-class companies. South Korea graduates nearly thesame number of engineers as the US though it has 1/6th the population and 1/20th the GDP. Ifthis continues the percentage of foreign doctoral recipients who stay in the U.S. may return to thelower 50% level that existed until 1992.Recognizing the needs identified above, the U.S. NSF established the Research Experiences forUndergraduates (REU), to fund both summer and academic-year REU Sites. A REU Site isdesigned for engineering, science, and mathematics undergraduates who are U.S. citizens orpermanent residents. This paper documents REU Site programs implemented by the author asthe Project Director (PD) from 1992 to 2008 at two different

ARCE facultyby keeping them better integrated with their department and benefits the course bybringing a variety of ideas and approaches to the course. However it reduces the abilityof individual ARCE faculty members to effect long-term changes to the course. Thecourse serves roughly 220 students per year, however the distribution by department hasnot been uniform. In some quarters, there have been as many as three CM students forone ARCE student. This has resulted in a course that is more expensive for somedepartments.Logistical IssuesClass Room Facilities – The course requires a teaching space or spaces that canaccommodate a range of student group sizes varying from private mentoring sessionswith two or three students to large scale public
