), they discoveredthat more specific objectives should have been identified during the initial planning. Theuniversity students had to use their best judgment to identify specific learning objectives butwithout knowing the Dominican students and their prior educational experiences and levels ofunderstanding many of the objectives had to be modified during the actual teaching process.Another challenge was translation of materials. Five of the university students had significantexperience speaking Spanish (three of the students had limited Spanish speaking abilities). Eventhough fluent in speaking Spanish, translating the lessons, especially technical terms, proved tobe difficult for the university students. To avoid potential confusion, the

Ideally, the educators should teach in a well-managed,student-centered environment with reasonably structured framework. They should stressfundamental knowledge, equip the students with solid skills and expose them to cutting-edgetechnologies 2. It has been found that obtaining practical knowledge from college is morebeneficial to the students’ professional career than mastering any new technology 3.

Study and work abroad programs are driven by the priorities and plans of aneducational institution, and when there is cooperation among universities, it is usually only adhoc at best.There is, however, a growing realization of the inadequacy of the United States’ approach. Inthis paper, we present how publications such as ABET’s Engineering Criteria 2000 and theNational Academy of Engineering’s The Engineer of 2020 are bringing attention to globalizationin engineering. Additionally, we offer the results of a recent non-scientific survey performed tohelp characterize how universities are attempting to increase their numbers of engineeringstudents studying abroad.2 Globalization in
