Mazumder points out that US academic institutionshave the educational foundation necessary to combine technology and culture in the engineeringcurriculum. The current educational models in practice can take the form of internationalconcentrations and minors, cultural courses and cultural components in dual degree andsimultaneous degree programs, global simulation projects, international internships and teamprojects, study abroad and global courses. Her comprehensive overview of the educationalmodels concludes with recommending a Global Skill Tool Box to prepare engineers for globalcompetence4. The set of skills, which can prepare students

Since that time, we have not only been able to travel across oceans,but also go to space, like the first man landing on the moon in 1969. It is crucial for globalengineering education include engineering history. The same way that all students in America study American politics as part of anAmerican History curriculum, there should be a component of American Engineering Historyfocused on learning how we solved problems in the past and how this integrates with otherdisciplines like math and science, engineering problem solving and technology.
