The course was meant to be a part of abroader wrap-around approach for service-learning teams, although the framework at this pointremains ad hoc.26 Like most programs, we are working toward developing a broader, systematicstrategy toward increasing students’ global engagement.Reflections on the Variety of Reentry PracticesThese programs offer a limited, unrepresentative sample of engineering education abroadprogramming. Further, they all come from the United States, which severely limits theirrepresentativeness. Future comparative work in the area would be worthwhile. Nevertheless,these reentry programs do offer a number of approaches to consider. They take a wide variety offorms and address different aspects of the

, such as through first-year introduction to engineeringcourses or through required design “cornerstone” subjects throughout the undergraduatecurriculums across the US. This is partly driven by the requirements that ABET sets forengineering degrees. ABET Criteria 3 (a) through (k) include design explicitly, especially Page 26.1362.2through criteria (c) and (e). The ABET criteria also implicitly include design throughrequirements for teamwork, ethics, social context, and other broad considerations. Another  driving factor to include engineering design in freshman courses is to increase student interest inengineering, improve retention, and improve

CENews published the results of a survey they conducted that supported this claimsaying that “[W]e’ve talked about [what] we need to incorporate perhaps more in the education,so that students [who graduate are] more prepared for a job, and that includes management skills,written skills, oral communication skills, ethics, technical skills, more broad-based knowledge,more emphasis on humanities.” There is evidence that study abroad experiences, particularlysemester long programs, improve soft skills such as writing
