A truly all-embracingengineering education should be global today in nature and thus requires a universal platformto overcome boundaries between states. English as the world language is one of such possibleplatforms and an indispensable component of the 360-degrees engineering educationparadigm as it is the connecting link eliminating borders and distances between continents aswell as contributing to the collective intellectual potential of mankind.

by Downeyet al, 2006 3 – ”global competency” for engineers is the “knowledge, ability, andpredisposition to work effectively with people who define [engineering] problems differentlythan they do” (p. 4). That is, cultural competency is an integral component of globalcompetency. GLOBAL COMPETENCY WITHIN PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVESWhile there are ideas of what global competency means and there are proposed ways ofeducating global engineers, assessment of the success of these ideas and methods is currentlystill in development.4 For example, Purdue University, has been a leader in the development ofan internationally focused field of engineering, and Penn State and Worchester Polytechnic alsooffer engineering programs overseas designed to

It is for this reason that educational institutions need to adapt to changingdemands if they are to prepare their students for what will be expected of them as they begintheir professional careers. At the undergraduate level, laboratory courses are often where newtechnology and teaching methods are integrated into the curriculum. However, since the 1970s,many institutions have decreased the quantity or consolidated laboratory courses offered in aneffort to curb increasing costs.

The mindset wasthat future employers would be seeking engineers with some international experience andexposure to the various cultures. Furthermore, ABET promoted internalization by one of itsoutcomes: “broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in aglobal, economic, environmental, and societal context.” Therefore, the Department of CivilEngineering and Construction conceived of an idea to hold an international study abroad

Biesta notes that forDewey, knowledge is not prescriptive, and research would not dictate practice: “no conclusion ofscientific research can be converted into an immediate rule of educational art” (19).29 Reflexivity(a practice of reflection that is critical of its own power relations) requires integrating knowledgewith reflection and
