engineering majors, two femalesand four males), asking each of them to answer three or four questions, explaining theirthought processes out loud as they did so. The students were volunteers who wereselected on a first-come basis and compensated for their time. We followed a protocolduring the sessions: first we gave the student a written copy of each question and thenread it aloud. We asked the student to tell us what concept s/he thought the questionaddressed and then asked him or her to solve the problem thinking aloud and usingsketches, notes, etc., if desired. We asked questions intended to probe the students’thought processes as they solved the problems and tape-recorded the sessions for latertranscription and analysis. We also collected all

In this new scenario it is possible tosingle out the processes that tend towards the internationalization of higher learning.

Once the technical analysis is completed, students then research and write apaper on the effect that the tragedy (and the engineer’ s role in it) had on Mexican society.Topics arising in these papers include discussions of political unrest, unification of a dividedlower class, government re-organization, tourism and other economic effects, exposure ofcorruption, the response of citizens to the president’s actions after the quake, and the tremendoussuffering of the victims. For example, one student wrote the following: …The losses incurred as a result of the earthquake and below-par building standards provided good timing for an already cynical people to demand changes in their government’s

The engineeringprogram was first implemented in the early 1980's with general engineering. This generalengineering major offers mechanical and electrical emphases to an engineering student body ofabout 90 individuals across all levels (freshman to senior). About 20 seniors complete theprogram each year. Design projects play a role in many
