/technical societies also provide appropriate continuing education courses in electronic forms – see, for example the offerings of the IEEE.• Open courseware – The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has made a major commitment to sharing its expertise in engineering education by posting on the web materials from each of its courses, in its OpenCourseWare project. Materials posted for each course typically include syllabus, readings, calendar, lecture notes, tools and projects. Downloading of appropriate materials and adaptation to local needs can be a significant aid to engineering faculty members in developing countries.• Virtual exhibit – As noted above, the WFEO Committee on Capacity Building plans to

additional competencies. • Sophomore level – All students are required to take a college course entitled “Foundations of Global Leadership” (this course fulfills general education requirements) that addresses the basic principles of leadership, moral/ethical behavior, and global competence. This course has a common syllabus and is taught by faculty across the college. The primary focus is for students to learn and begin to practice leadership within a team and project environment. • Junior and senior levels – Programs are tasked with providing instruction and experiences that will achieve required leadership outcomes. Students are provided opportunities to gain practical experience and to

lecture/lab format, so that the various learningstyles of both engineering and technology students alike can be addressed. Core topics for sucha course could include processing biomass into bio-based energy, chemicals, transportation fuels,and manufactured products, with an emphasis on product design considerations and necessaryunit operations; economic analysis of bioprocesses; and environmental impacts of theseoperations. In conjunction with the other topics discussed in this paper, these could be readilyconverted into a course syllabus. Moreover, not only will students require theoretical andtechnical knowledge, they will also need hands-on, applied experiences to have a meaningfuleducation in these biological areas – disciplines in which most

general education as courses in non-engineering areasthat are required to develop complete professionals. The courses are taught like any other courses and not targetedto develop lifelong learning skills. We attempted a different approach and defined liberal learning as “self-learningin self-chosen (non-engineering) areas with self-defined scope”. Our program goals were to inculcate lifelonglearning beyond engineering and help students appreciate the interplay between engineering and other disciplines.We included the lifelong learning, due to the criticality of that competency for today’s engineering graduates. Ourprogram did not define syllabus, did not identify text or reference books, and did not conduct classroom lecturesand regular
