Specifically, the MGUDS-S evaluates individual’s Universal-DiverseOrientation (UDO), defined as an “an attitude of awareness and acceptance of both similaritiesand differences that exist among people.” Specific measures included within the MGUDS-SUDO: 1) diversity of contact with others (behavioral); 2) relativistic appreciation of oneself andothers (cognitive); 3) degree of emotional comfort with differences (affective).In this paper, we report on our efforts to initiate an assessment project employing the MGUDS-Sto establish a baseline of global competency of engineering students at our university.

It was only in 2002, when Lamont Adams put forth 10 factorscalling them "Ten Commandments of Egoless Programming” that a step was taken in this direction 15.These factors, as given in Table 1, seem to have found wide conceptual acceptance. We decided to makeuse of them to get a measure of "egoless behavior".Any approach to develop egoless software engineers inherently implies the development of egolessbehavior. Hence, the factors would ideally fall into two categories – first the generic factors thatcorrelate to an egoless individual and second coding factors that would correlate to an egoless developer.Considering this, the factors in Table 1 after a group

Initially, four objectives for the CEC Global Explorer Program were outlined: 1) tosend students abroad for study either for a short mini-semester or full semester; 2) persuadeinternational students to come to Bradley; 3) embark on a faculty exchange; and 4) to fosterinternational research exchange between the CEC department and

This question is timely given theincreasingly multinational nature of research collaborations. In its 2014 Science Indicators, theNational Science Foundation (NSF) reported that 35% of U.S. articles published in 2012 wereinternationally coauthored, up from 32% in 2010, with U.S.-Japan coauthored papers comprising7% of this total.

This work is ongoing.IntroductionA recent report on Challenges and Opportunities in Hydrologic Sciences by the NationalAcademy of Sciences states that the solution to the complex water-related challenges facingsociety today begins with education.1 The realization of the need to educate people about watersustainability is not new. At least as far back as 1974, there was a realization that water qualitywas difficult for people to describe.2 Around the same time, various indices of water quality weredeveloped to help quantify water quality in a way that could be more easily understood.3 Morerecently, Covitt, Gunckel and Anderson assessed students’ understanding of water quantity andquality

That development mainlyoccurs through preparing those undergraduates to teach a small set of class periods andthen having those students teach those class periods multiple times. Two potential benefits exist for a college of engineering to have such anorganization. First, the peer teaching provided by the organization has the potential toenhance the teaching in a college of engineering for a number of a reasons includingdecreasing instructor-to-student ratios [1–2].

This program was Page 24.1403.2successful in helping more students choose graduate school since they could get a Master’sdegree in just one year past the Bachelor’s degree, saving both time and money. However, not allstudents eligible for graduate school choose to do the 4 + 1 plan or are qualified for theaccelerated program and money is still a problem for these students.
