memorizationstructure. Students have been passive learners, fully expecting the instructor to provide allinformation. A common complaint from students points out this issue – ‘why is the instructorasking me questions? The instructor is supposed to know all the content.’ Engaging the studentis a slow process since part of the freshman experience is to instill a culture of learning in eachstudent. Students have little to no experience with doing research, presentations, group projects,and similar secondary experiences that are taken for granted in most North American students.The necessity of teaching fundamental skills takes time and frustrates faculty who are used tostudents having foundational experience in the high school environment.

Assessment of course is therefore needed. No two courses of the sametitle are taught the same way in different parts of the world, nor do they have the same coursecontent. The assessment process is carried out via course portfolios and a competency matrix(end-of-course outcomes-based survey). Students are asked to compile course portfolios andkeep track of assignments, notes, HW, reports, projects, etc. Individually, students are asked tofill out course

Their detailed presentation to the class is expected tocover business etiquette, cultural orientation and context, business practices, negotiationpractices, business travel, business entertaining, protocol, gestures, and customs such asgreetings, meal etiquette, and dress. Country presentations are limited to the 25 or so countrieswhere our students might be expected to work. These countries include European countries likeItaly, England

However,young women are not choosing technical careers at the same rate as young men. Forengineering, it has been around 20% for several years. Numerous programs designed between1993 and 2003 to increase the woman enrichment in engineering did not make any fundamentalchange. There is no discovery of any convincing explanation or one to two useful remedies. If itis not the lack of programs, websites, goodwill, research, or budget that failing us, it must besome thing else.

Since 1980s, America has aggressively been improving thecurriculum of science, engineering and mathematics. Therefore, in 1985, AmericanAssociation for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) launched a long-term project called“Project 2061” that committed to reform science, mathematics and technology education.

Paola explained: … but in other majors, it is easier simply because they manage social relations and because it is part of their job to know each other and how to interact. In contrast, we even say engineers are the ones who use the library, the “ñoños” (Paola).This image of “ñoños” or nerds and engineering students not very social is supported by theparticipants’ comments about how students in engineering tend to get together more foracademic reasons like for doing homework or a team project than for social interaction.Furthermore, participants stated how the lack of time to participate in social events due to thestudents

Engineering and Language Attitudes in the U.S. A QuandaryGlobalization and the international projection of engineering In the last 30 years, the literature on engineering education has been paying increasingattention to the changes that the field has experienced due to the advancement of globalization.The goal of this concerted effort is to determine and validate the set of skills the job marketdemands from the engineer in the 21st century. There is consensus among researchers that in the context of globalization the U.S.engineering programs either adapt their curricula to meet the expectations of the globalworkforce or take the risk of becoming irrelevant [1].

It is projected that moreengineering challenges will affect this broader population, and thus these individuals are neededwithin engineering.1 The demand today for employees who speak foreign languages and areinternationally savvy is also greater than ever. However, relatively few minorities enroll incollege international programs, and few choose careers that involve global work.2There is large and growing literature examining women’s and minorities experience with theengineering education process.

The adolescents, ages 14-17, worked in teams to identify a problem in theircommunity and to use engineering design to solve the problem. Most of the participants changedboth their perceptions of engineering as well as their self-efficacy as they worked on theseprojects. The design experience influenced participants’ perceptions of
