improvingengineering education, recognizing the necessity to enhance and modernize engineeringeducation to better meet the demands of future engineering challenges.3 Global competency isone of the important skills that has been identified by the engineering education community asessential and expected of all engineering graduates. Various curricular and non-curricularapproaches have been implemented in engineering programs in the U.S. for the specific need ofteaching and exposing engineering students to global engineering challenges.1,4An important question to consider when developing, implementing, or evaluating anyeducational approach to teaching global competence is what it means to be a globally competentengineer. Having an inclusive, operational, and

Today’stendencies require concerted new efforts in engineering education - or in other words, theimportance of pedagogy in the field of engineering is growing enormously. These changesstrongly demand new didactic and pedagogic paradigms. The International Society ofEngineering Education (IGIP) offers to contribute to the relevance and
ofbusiness cycles. The views of the graduates have, by and large, been similar to thoseof the author and to views of some faculty members in Region’s colleges; and areconsonant with developing a more responsive educational environment.It is interesting to note that the evolution of engineering education in the Region haspassed through three consecutive stages. Stage one: the stage of founding andestablishment, lasted nearly a decade, and characterized mainly by adopting andtransferring a North American model of engineering education to the Region. Expats,at the time, were entrusted with the tasks of the transfer, and were guided primarilyby agreed-upon guidelines. Stage two: is the search for an identity stage. This is theperiod when nationals, who
the annual meeting theAmerican Society for Engineering Education (ASEE), where small colleges have a much higherproportional representation in technical sessions than at other professional meetings. The studentwork and collaborations with US based students and faculty, on local projects of servicelearning, represent examples of the scholarship of application. When applying new technologiessuccessfully in the developing world, the faculty and students at UTG are at a competitiveadvantage over western R1 universities, due to their intimate understanding of the local cultureand environment.To achieve the research identity sought, UTG should contribute to disciplinary scholarship inareas of unique expertise. UTG doesn't have the resources to

This paper discusses the curriculum,faculty recruitment, program management, transfer options, and the commitment required fromboth schools for this joint program.IntroductionCentral Michigan University (CMU) in the U.S. and Shanghai Institute of Technology (SIT) inChina executed a Memorandum of Understanding in 2000 to promote internationalundergraduate and graduate educations and to strengthen academic exchanges and cooperationbetween the two universities. After extensive communication and discussion between the twoschools, they entered a Memorandum of Agreement in 2002 to expand their relationship. Underthis agreement, a joint four
management committee developed a sense of autonomy and commitment to Icarus,with the goal of growing it sustainably over time with the support of the School of Civil Engineering. The Chairof the student management committee is now a full member of the Industry Advisory Board by petition of theexternal members of the Board. Furthermore, from a community building perspective, it is important tohighlight that most students enrolled in the program to try it for one semester and the majority has decided not toleave, some of them have expressed that will continue engaging with Icarus projects until the time theygraduate, because of the value they find in the program for their identity development as engineers.4.
