If bodies bring or denyprivilege, how do we understand what constitutes transgression?While Queer Theory has scarcely been applied in engineering contexts, some feminist and anti-racist science and technology studies (STS) scholars have contributed analyses of gender, race,and class in engineering culture, describing able-bodied heterosexuality as part of normativemasculinities in engineering.

The students are chosen from majors in electricalengineering, computer science, or information technology and they have had at least one year ofChinese language instruction. The average cost for the trip is about $3500.00 per student for atwo week trip.

As technology knits distant parts of the world ever more closely together,the discussion within engineering education is part of a larger movement to create globallycompetent citizens [1]. Much effort has been expended to address what, exactly, is meant byglobal competency, why is it important, how it can be measured, and how it can be improved.By now, the importance of global competency for everyone, and engineers in particular [2,3], hasbeen well documented and evidence of the ability to work in an international, multi-culturalenvironment is valued by
