concern is evident 7.Engineering programs have recognized that they must produce globally competent graduateswho, by working cross culturally, and beyond national boundaries can effectively identifyopportunities, understand market forces, and successfully commercialize new technologies. Thiscall has come from professional organizations including the National Academy of Engineering(NAE) and its widely quoted The Engineer of 2020, the American Society of EngineeringEducation and the American Society for Mechanical Engineers 8, 9. As a result, a small, butgrowing number of engineering programs now imbed international experiences in their curricula.There is a second concern: Can these graduates become world citizens?

sustainability and toincorporate social responsibility into the product design4. 1.1 Approaches in Teaching Sustainability in Engineering EducationEfforts to teach sustainability in the undergraduate engineering curriculum are assessed inVanderburg5, where engineering education is described as composed of technical core coursesand complementary courses on humanity subjects. However, technical core courses are taught inisolation from the human life context and humanities courses are very general in nature with nodirect link to modern science and technology. Closer connections between the technical coursesand the humanities courses can help engineering students understand the holistic nature ofsustainability and the world; an alteration to any

The theoretical background section ofthe paper discusses the construct of identity, as well as the importance of examining teacher-of-engineering identity. Next, the paper describes the context of the SySTEmic Project in which thestudy was situated.
