A variety of programs have emerged to address this need ranging from namedprograms like Purdue’s Global Engineering Programs [3], college programs focused on theEngineering Grand Challenges (see for example [4]), at least one “global competence certificate”program [5

It has its roots in a university-widecurriculum reform that began in 1970 when a new curriculum replaced a traditional, course-based technical curriculum with a project-based program emphasizing teamwork,communication, and the integration of technical and societal concerns.

More scholarships and sponsored sources of funding, as well as a greater awareness of funding options, would very likely encourage and enable more students to go abroad. Higher education institutions also need to continue working to provide less expensive options and more financial assistance, or allow students to take advantage of other cost-effective options.” [2] “Curriculum: Study abroad is not currently considered an essential component of an undergraduate experience by many students, families and educators.

called Embedded SystemsEngineering.Concluding RemarksThe tremendous growth in the area of embedded systems requires the academic institutions toupdate their education in the area of embedded system design. Otherwise, it will become verydifficult to design tomorrow’s complex embedded systems. The process of updating thecurriculums requires a close interaction with industry to provide the right focus. In this paper,the authors have done an international study of the curriculums in other institutions of highereducation to decide how to integrate embedded systems design in their curriculum in thecomputer science department. It appears from the study that the best solution for them is to adda new area of specialization in their computer science
