practice the professionalskills they require for their careers and introducing global perspectives is a recognized method to helpstudents understand these skills in other contexts/cultures. Through comparing local and internationaldesign projects in classrooms, alongside international experiences through design based study abroadprograms and extra-curricular projects we aim to seek to understand the level and role of internationalexperiences in engineering student’s global competence. This paper will outline the current research andliterature in this area and propose a methodology to compare global competencies of students across fourdifferent learning models; a US based, non-development project on campus as part of their curriculum

As aresult some of the acquired knowledge may be forgotten by the time student graduates or it maynot be placed in the context of the overall program outcomes, thus material presented may notseem to have relevance to student’s career. An effective method to address this issue is arequired capstone course that combines a number of different disciplines into a singlecomprehensive experience. In addition to required capstone experience, authors havecollaborated in development of an elective course on modeling and simulation of mechatronicsystems. The course introduces modern computer tools and techniques which integrates numberof different areas including statics, strength of materials, dynamics

In theprocess, students explore who they are, what they value, and how they will use what they learnedover the course of the program to shape their careers, personal lives, and contributions to theircommunities.

purpose of this paper is to recommend adapting new pedagogical methods to theaccepted topics in an introductory probability and statistics course for engineeringundergraduates—methods that better match the learning characteristics of Millennial students inour courses. In a nutshell, those characteristics may be summarized as: (1) They want relevanceto their major, and future engineering career; (2) They want rationale (for the textbook selected,and for specific course policies and assignments); (3) They revel in technology (to collect data,compute, communicate, and multi-task); (4) They want a relaxed, hands-on environment; (5)They prefer instructors who rotate among several classroom delivery methods.Considering the “Five R‟s” learning
