2 above, ofthe over 200,000 students that study abroad each year, less than 3% are engineeringstudents – this percentage that stayed fairly flat for the past decade.5 With a greatnumber of their graduate students (and much of their faculty) foreign-born,engineering schools may find it hard to see the logic in sending their own studentsabroad for further training, or how that will enhance their students’ professionaldevelopment. Without pressure from employers or government agencies, there hasbeen little incentive to change this approach, although the leadership within the fieldof engineering is beginning to encourage change through the peer-based accreditationsystem, as well as through competitive pressure to recruit the best

Students spoke with a young engineer and could easily imagine being in her position after graduation. In addition to the tour and question and answer session, the Ramboll engineer led the students through some critical thinking case studies.  AKT II, another engineering design company, emphasized their spiral organization structure and design-led engineering practices.

In addition to that question, this pilot research has two objectives: (1) to obtain preliminary insights from the data, and (2) use these insights to improve the initial questionnaire created for this study. Methodology Instrument To design the questionnaire, four dimensions (or constructs) were chosen as basic building blocks: (1) attitudes toward learning Spanish and other L2; (2) instrumental orientation toward Spanish and other L2; (3) integrative orientation toward U.S. Hispanics and Latin American countries; (4) attitudes toward global experiences, at the international level –like studying

Theobjective of these courses is to engage students from day one in the best practices of theengineering programs through learn-by-doing approach.

In Mexico, we designed a classroom that we call the ACE classroom. ACE comes fromthe Spanish acronym for “Aprendizaje Centrado en el Estudiante” (Student-Centered Learning);also, the pronunciation of the acronym in Spanish is identical to that of the verb “do”, and thusconveys the idea that students learn by doing in this classroom. The ACE classroom we designedis similar to the SCALE-UP (Student-Centered Active Learning Environment for UndergraduatePrograms) classroom

At University X multiple international sustainable development programs focused on developing communities have coalesced into the D80 Center, focused on providing hope to the 80% of the world’s population poorly served by engineered goods, services, and infrastructure. Based on ten years of experience, the programs clearly resonate with a more diverse student body and produce more well-rounded, global-minded engineers, as compared to traditional programs. Future obstacles include dealing with the demand of such programs with limited faculty, staff, and financial support

As related by one female student, “When you know that yourwork will impact someone’s life, you know you need to get it right, and it makes you driven tosucceed. I think that all too often, students are more focused on just getting the work done,rather than on the impact their work may have in the future.” Another female studentcommented that, “the obstacles were learning experiences.

This paper describes progress in a cross-sectional, longitudinal study to examine the impact that a College of Engineering at a large, mid-Atlantic public institution has on students’ global readiness and related constructs. Data werecollected from first-year and senior undergraduate engineering students for two years (2012-2013and 2013-2014). Research questions examined: 1) previous international experiences of incomingstudents, 2) international experiences that undergraduates have during their academic careers, 3)students’ perceived value of global readiness, 4) activities students perceive to be

To help academics who are contemplatingusing Open Courseware material, guidelines are needed to help them reflect on how best toget their students to learn. The goal is to move away from a focus on teaching, that is, whatthe lecturer told the students, to a focus on activities that would help students learn.
