The NationalAcademy of Engineering (2005) reinforces this need for talent development by outlining thechallenges of a global world.Ultimately globalization is impacting all engineering graduates. Their designs will often betargeted to a global marketplace, but the technical expertise of international users and theappropriateness of certain technologies will vary significantly. Many companies are alreadyglobal with many more going global every day. Engineers participate on global teams asindividuals are spread around the globe to implement complex projects.

Tours andexcursions included locations that were intended to be purely cultural (Sydney Tower, BlueMountains Eco Tour, etc.), to be purely technical (Canberra Deep Space CommunicationComplex, Sydney Observatory, etc.), and some that were to be a mix (Sydney Opera Housetechnical tour, Canberra Sustainability House, etc.).

been made in the program accreditation of engineering educationin China; colleges and universities have actively applied for the program accreditation by theChinese Engineering Education Accreditation Association(CEEAA),and has a good degree ofparticipation at the provincial, university and program levels; some programs in a fewuniversities in China have applies and passed the program accreditation by the AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology (ABET) with broader practical significance. Atpresent, there are still challenges in how to carry out education quality management, how toensure the participation of stakeholders, how to carry out education quality evaluation, howto ensure continuous quality improvement, and how to achieve
the accreditation of AmericanAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.2. The Fundamental Connotation of the Internal Quality Assurance Mechanism of HigherEngineering Education2.1 DefinitionAt present, there is no clear definition of “internal quality assurance mechanism ofengineering education”. The academic circles have conducted discussion around the “qualityassurance mechanism of higher education”, either on the external quality assurancemechanism of higher education, or on the internal quality mechanism of higher education, oron a certain quality assurance mechanism. For example, Louise Morley explored therelationship between quality and power, and investigated the power relationship in organizingand promoting quality assurance

These generic and common knowledge are consistent withthe goal of engineering ethics education. Findings of the comparison also identify lessonsworth learning from each other. Based on the analysis results and the need for globalization,the paper attempts to highlight several key points of engineering ethics educational contents.Due to limited space, the findings which are expected to be helpful to the engineeringteachers and students in engineering ethics

Prelewicz [8] model proposes5 tiers of competencies that engineers must develop throughout their career: 1. Tier 1 - Personal effectiveness competencies: these include interpersonal skills, professionalism, integrity, initiative, adaptability and flexibility, dependability and reliability, and lifelong learning. 2. Tier 2 – Academic competencies: including reading, writing, mathematics, science and technology, communication, critical and analytical thinking, computer skills. 3. Tier 3 – Workplace competencies: although some of these are expected to be
as: title, abstract, institution, topics, keywords, and date ofpublication. The second approach consisted of an unstructured search, using unsupervised learning(Machine Learning) clustering algorithms and information retrieval techniques for text analysis.In this latter approach, the computer based on the abstract content, can group, classify and rankthe documents and topics automatically without the need of additional metadata. We present resultsof both approaches and conclude that in the dissertation and theses analyzed, topics related witheducation are more common than those related with applying engineering and technology toeducation. Further research is needed to determine more specific results.Keywords: Dissertations, Engineering
