and engineering employers consider as a must for engineering graduates.However, the process of achieving critical thinking skills is not always well laid out and /ordeveloped. Although a number of models have been developed in this topic by many academics,developing “critical thinking skills” can be a long and arduous process. In particular, thedevelopment of higher education program level critical thinking skills require detailed courselevel planning, structured assignments, critical analysis of case studies, student centric learning,and guided design using tools such as simulation and gaming, communication exercises, andlaboratory experiments. Research suggests that the development of any skill is best facilitated bypractice and not by

and diversity in bothacademia and the workplace. The instructor attended a Society of Women Engineers (SWE)conference in 2016 and became inspired to prepare engineers for embracing diversity andunderstanding the challenges that women and underrepresented minorities face in the workplace.The instructor had been a woman engineer in industry and in academia for many years, and hadexperienced many of the same challenges discussed in the research literature. The coursedevelopment was highly supported by the Dean of the School of Engineering (SoE), theEngineering Management, Systems and Technology Department chair, the EngineeringManagement Graduate program coordinator, the SoE’s Diversity and Inclusion program, and theother department chairs

. What are the barriers in the pathway for the diverse range of engineers within theprofession? Do they all define “success” in the same terms? How can the management of anengineering firm impact this with the goal to yield more recruitment and retention? In short, theSE3 report looks at a way we can broaden the impact of how engineers approach engineeringmanagement to include a consideration of diversity and inclusion, not merely because it is the“right” thing to do, but because the attraction and retention of a diverse work force allows us toemploy the best engineers from all backgrounds, leading to a more robust and talentedgeneration of engineers.History behind the report In 2016, the Structural Engineers Association of Northern

of internationalization inhigher education given by Dr. Jane Knight, who described it as a process of integrating aninternational dimension into teaching, research and service.5, 6, 7There have also been many professors from U.S. universities who have gone overseas to helpmake improvements to global higher education, who play important roles in global highereducation, and who provide services for changes to be implemented into the education systemsof other countries. This also serves as an opportunity for the U.S. professors to be able to learnabout other educational systems worldwide and then identify best practices that they canincorporate into their own educational system.8There are also many cultural benefits that can beobtained by the
