Figure 1: Technology and Its Distance from Socio-cultural IssuesThe question then is: How can we as engineering educators and mentors create anatmosphere to engender this Global Competency?Engineering education routinely addresses technology and does it well. However, typicalengineering students avoid social and cultural subjects because they either would rather tinkerwith technology or because there is no room in the curriculum for that material or both. Addingglobal content exacerbates the problem by increasing the material in an already bulgingcurriculum.The Symposium attendees did keep this problem in mind throughout the discussions whichincluded breakout sessions on the following issues. These issues were extracted from the

of synthesis for traditionalcognitive theory based approaches to engineering education. These capstone courses areexpected to help students broaden their perspectives on how to integrate theoretical andpractical knowledge and how to reflect on practice. Within the last decade, employersand leading educators have been complaining that this synthesis, as it pertains to life-longlearning and expertise, may not be enough for new graduates to compete in a fastchanging global marketplace for engineering services. These leaders suggest that newgraduates need: (a) better communications skills; (b) an ability to work in Page 11.430.2multidisciplinary teams

Additionally, challenges brought on by the overuse of natural resources put a specialresponsibility on materials science and engineering (MSE) faculty, whose role it is to assist inshaping the MSE profession. How can faculty deliver relevant curricula for the MSEengineering professional in an already crowded curriculum? Certainly curricular content must beup-to-date. However, a number of the goals can be met through changing the way in which thecurriculum is delivered. In particular, we have emphasized mastery at the lower levels toincrease retention, and implemented a number of learning “best

world. It is divided into scientific disciplines with different conceptsand terms, subjects, basic and professional subjects, and courses, and relies on personalexaminations for grading. The inherent structure directs the students and teachers towards theroutine repetition mode, working alone, and using the time and resources ineffectively. Thepractical example is that when a new need is detected, a course is added to the curriculum.For example, if there is a need for learning ethics, a course in ethics is added.The fundamental reason for the fragmentation is that the knowledge and teaching/learningneeded to achieve the professional level of the engineer (“engineerness”) is first differentiatedand then integrated.
