attitudes,behaviors, and achievements of those who have "represented" before. The language also servesto continue erasure of past contributions and accomplishments by implying that certain groupshave not made an impact in engineering and technology [12]. These interpretations possiblyinduce a continuous feeling of stereotype-threat [13, 14]. Finally, we posit that saying"underrepresented" is a statement of supremacy by the dominant majority groups. It implies thatminority groups have not yet achieved sufficient prominence or stature in the discipline to berecognized: Their cultural norms are neither valued nor accepted [11, 14, 15]."Underrepresented" emphasizes oppressed members' lack of power in the system and is aconstant reminder of isolation or

collaborative networks a common practice for globalcompetiveness. Many engineering projects are the result of efforts of culturally diverse teamsworking collaboratively. The collaboration could be in person where teams are located in thesame site but formed by culturally diverse members or the collaboration can take place remotelywhere teams are geographically dispersed and use technology for communication andinteraction. In both scenarios, members of the team must be prepared to work with culturallydifferent peers; however, geographically dispersed teams have additional challenges to functioneffectively. As a result, many American institutions are adopting learning approaches to educateengineers with global competencies so they can work effectively in

-emphasizing social and economicpillars. Furthermore, most instruction on sustainability, as reported in the literature, appears tofocus on teaching the engineering student to be an engineer who practices sustainabledevelopment rather than a consumer who has a role in sustainable practice. In part, thisemphasis on the engineer's role in sustainability is a result of the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET)'s mandate that engineering undergraduates complete theirdegrees having achieved student outcome (c): “...an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability
what is good for the global community in engineering related efforts, and notjust one’s own country or group. It refers to one’s ability to make sound judgements based onglobal needs in which engineering and associated technologies can have impact on globalimprovement. Finally, Global Engineering Community Connectedness is the last subscale. Thissubscale refers to one’s awareness of humanity and appreciation of interrelatedness of all peopleand nations and the role that engineering can play in improving humanity, solving humanproblems via engineering technologies, and meeting human needs across national boundaries[23].Table 2: EGPI Sample Items by Selected Subscales/Constructs Subcale/Construct Sample Index Item Engineering Ethics

When coupled with the Mobile Studio Desktop software, the systemduplicated a large amount of the hardware often used to teach electrical engineering, computerengineering, physics and K-12 technology-oriented courses.There was a lot of refinement of the project through pilot studies and subsequent results showedthat the use of personal electronic instruments increases the level of student engagement andmotivation [2], [3].
