ofengaging people from different cultures. Downey et al.[1] point out that an important caution torecognize and keep in mind is that a key characteristic of globalization is that it is now difficultto characterize people as members of single cultures.1 The key point has to do with countries.Statements about the benefits of global learning for engineering students typically locate thosebenefits in encountering and coming to understand engineers and other potential co-workers whoare raised, educated, and living in countries other than their own. Their special educationalstatus is an indicator of the key, defining element in the goal of working productively withdifferent cultures, i.e., learning to engage effectively ways of thinking about and

The word has its roots in the Latin word “cultura” meaning cultivation. Thereis a wide range of perspectives on culture ranging from the concrete (clothes, music food), tobehavioral (language, gender roles) and symbolic (value system, customs, religion).

The system has almost no attrition and is graduating more or less theentire intake. The study of Blom and Saeki2 shows that 64% of employers are only somewhatsatisfied or worse with the current engineering graduate skills. Earlier, NASSCOM andMcKinsey report (2005)3 had found that 75% of engineering graduates are not employable bymultinational companies.
