Thomas Union College Schenectady, New YorkAbstractIt is important for engineering students to develop an international perspective to practice theirprofession in a society that is becoming increasingly global in scope. A key element indeveloping this perspective is acquiring an appreciation of, and respect for, other cultures. Webelieve the best way to do this is through a

Promote Multidisciplinary Skills in a Freshman Engineering ProgramIntroduction This paper addresses the lack of student interest in topics outside of their discipline; thisis even true for some students in all courses regardless of topic. However, all topics, especiallyfundamental ones are important in an engineering education because engineers are facingincreasingly complex challenges and opportunities; consequently, collaboration betweenengineers of multiple disciplines becomes very important. ABET goes as far as to list “an abilityto function on multidisciplinary teams” as a required student outcome for an undergraduateengineering program to be accredited.

Whileperceptions tend to be positive, the change in learning levels varies from no effect toimprovement. In this regard, it is essential to consider the impact of various factors, includingstudent education levels (secondary, undergraduate, postgraduate), the number of studentsinvolved (a small group or a large course), and the design and appropriateness of the material(s),among others. Consequently, the results largely depend on the particularities of each situation.MethodologyThe methodology applied

Dewey referred to art as an experience between the artist, the work of art and its observer[1]. Each time an observer looks at Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, a new Mona Lisa is born. Art is acontinuum from the germination of an idea to the culmination of a complex creation in its supremeform. Aesthetics is a common thread in this process which is essentially a process of the
