a leader in internation- alization of Engineering at NAU since arriving in 1999, expanding this initiative to the Natural Sciences starting in 2005. Significant milestones in this area include the development of an effective model of re- ciprocal ”exploratory trips” to motivate international study in engineering; the International Engineering and Natural Sciences certificate program; and the Global Engineering College project, an NSF-funded exploration of a comprehensively internationalized curricular model for engineering education. These efforts culminated in 2010 with the creation of the Global Science and Engineering Program (GSEP), an innovative initiative to establish a comprehensive framework for

At about seven billion Page 23.401.16today, the world population is being projected to 9.3 billion by 2050. The ability to scalecomplex global problems at the local, regional, or global level has been complicated, if notimpossible. Other considerations that must be factored into the design equation are the immediateimpacts and long-term consequences of the new solutions. Resolutions to

highsatisfaction with the instructions and MACILE in general, they were still able to find areas forpossible improvements. In robotics, for example, the students showed high satisfaction with theclass, but at the same time, about 50% of them suggested more homework, projects, and morecontent as ways to improve the class. Another example deals with student selection. Moststudents find MACILE excellent as a program, but some suggest that the admission processneeds improvement. They suggest that only “students that want to learn” be admitted, indicatingthat they notice the behavior of their peers. Page 22.108.8In summary, the results are still tentative, but
