Each of these tools provides information that enablesresearchers and SA faculty to better determine how programs enhance student learning.The tools are designed to indicate competency development in students in areas such asincreased cultural understanding, improved communication skills, strengthened language ability,flexibility, and open-mindedness.2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18 In addition, this skill development oftenresults in personal reflection and growth that changes students in terms of their

et al., [5] performed an exploratory on a non-traditional first year college student’sexperiences with messaging about engineering by an administrator, engineering faculty, and anacademic advisor. Their ethnographic research revealed tensions between the career goals of thestudent and the prioritization of national economic strength, an emphasis on quantitative andtechnical aspects of engineering practice over social or qualitative aspects, and a focus on theimportance of producing a large number of engineers to bolster the workforce over theeducational goals of the students. The messaging is created and reinforced by individuals atdifferent levels of the university system. This work underscores the need for criticalintrospection by

affective as well as effective cultural mediators andambassadors, students acquire an understanding of how a language other than their ownproduces and distributes knowledge within socio-cultural communicative frameworks.As we learned in the spring of 2006, the piloting of a unique collaboration between Civiland Environmental Engineering and Humanities provided a forum for generating furtherreflection on the benefits of cross-disciplinary efforts for both students and faculty. Wediscovered, for example, that cross-disciplinary literacy as a framework for advancinglanguage acquisition and engineering service learning also encouraged language andnon-engineering students to integrate an international field experience into theireducational career goals

major name is in English instead of Spanish. In most cases, the same major isoffered by the same campus under two versions: national (in Spanish), and international (inEnglish).A remarkable feature of ITESM International Programs is that they are focused in two types ofconstituents: prospective Mexican students seeking a strong global component and Mexican-American “dreamers” (young persons living in United States, whose condition of beingundocumented limits their opportunity to study a professional career).4The establishment of International Programs can lead to a variety of accreditation paths withinthe same university. As an example, Table 8 shows the accreditation paths found in ITESM,Monterrey Campus.Table 8 shows: Three international

Through this we hope to understand the relative importance ofinternational experience to becoming a globally competent engineer and can students gain a reasonablelevel of competence through introducing global perspectives into their classroom or do they need to travelabroad?IntroductionEngineering student’s ability to graduate and work in an increasingly global engineering marketplace isfundamental to their future success

. Whileboth agencies had previously flirted with international activities, neither one had accredited aprogram or college of education outside of the US and its territories. So in addition tomerging two accreditors and managing the implications of that merger at the federal, stateand institutional levels, an entirely new agenda is being prepared for offering accreditationinternationally. The double challenge is daunting. The law of unintended consequences,however, sometimes works in positive ways, as will be demonstrated in what follows.Over the past two or three decades many international students came to the United States toearn doctorates in education. These graduates then frequently returned home to becameuniversity faculty themselves, as well as
