this qualitativecase study was to better understand engineering students’ learning experiences in a EWB project,looking specifically at how students participating on the project exhibit attributes of globalengineering competencies. The case study investigates an EWB project with the mission ofdesigning and implementing a solar-powered electricity system for a school in Uganda. Wefound that students do exhibit attributes of global engineering competencies, although attributesregarding engineering cultures and ethics were exhibited more strongly than attributes regardingglobal regulations and standards. We discuss implications of these findings for educationalpractice and future research.IntroductionProviding engineering students opportunities

The best way for teachers to counter thisis to be actively involved in both teaching the students and facilitating hacking activities.Limited Administrator Support and UnderstandingIn response to limited administrator support, it was found beneficial to provide monthly “currentethics” lectures. During these lectures, a faculty advisor, an experienced student, or a guestspeaker talked about current events related to ethical hacking. This group meeting can be otherthings in addition, but it will show due diligence in informing students that they can use theirskills to benefit society instead of ending up in jail.

Its objectives are to provide students with research, critical thinking andadvanced communication skills necessary for success in the study and practice of globalengineering.We believe that a first-year communication course is uniquely positioned for integratingeducation on sustainability (ESD) with graduate attributes.

In fact, most computer science and software engineeringprograms do not include RE courses and tend to cover this area using a few class periods1,2.Additionally, topics and careers related to RE, and subsequently a related course, are perceivedas uninteresting and not relevant to future career prospects3, 4.

Students participating in service-learning projectsshowed significantly higher gains in confidence in both technical and professional engineeringskills. Female students in particular showed the most dramatic gains, with an average increase of81.6% in technical engineering confidence as a result of their service-learning course. The highergains in confidence can be attributed to the students learning more about how to identify andunderstand
