engineering course in engineeringeducation is essential to prepare the students to solve industry challenges. Innovative methods inteaching, including the cross-cultural student integration, have proven effective to enhancesuccess in multidisciplinary engineering design teams.Senior design projects are essential to demonstrate engineering graduates’ industry-readiness [5].The Engineering Technology program at UTRGV offers a wide range of options from which thestudents will develop engineering skills to address engineering and technological challenges. Atthe end of the coursework, the students must complete an industry-related, research-basedcapstone project, which in specific cases involves the design and development of a functionalprototype.The

meet the demands ofan increasingly “flat” world, where competencies that go beyond pure technical skills, includingcreativity, leadership, flexibility, and communication, are becoming more and more essential.3, 4Traditional engineering education is also being challenged to respond to emerging fields that blurdisciplinary boundaries, such as nanotechnology, synthetic biology, and biomemetics. Manyworry that the U.S. production of engineering graduates lags well behind that of some notablecompetitor nations, such as China, a shortfall not only in absolute numbers but also in the overallpercentage of college graduates who have an engineering degree.1What has been largely absent from most discussions of the future of the US technical workforceis
