Taiwan there are notsufficient instructors who are trained and motivated. These inadequate course designs andsystematic limitations lead to a lack of understanding of the relationship between technologyand society and a lack of systematic thinking among science and engineering students. Thissituation limits students’ ability to think about their professional skills, future employment,ethical responsibilities, and other issues in a global context.1Cultivating “global competency” in a divided worldWe also witnessed an educational reform in engineering education curriculum worldwide.
