everyday life. Solutions to them willrequire interaction and collaboration between engineers and those from the broader liberal arts.Similarly, there is a need for those in other fields to have basic understanding of engineering.This need for a basic understanding is an outgrowth of the degree to which technology permeatesand shapes modern society. Without an understanding of how and why technology is developedand implemented, it becomes an almost magical black box. A lack of understanding of howsuch technology functions and is developed is antithetical to the enlightenment idea of educatingindividuals so they understand the world around them. An understanding of the world is thebasis on which the modern concepts of the liberal arts are based

definitions of the roles and professional responsibilities ofscientists and engineers. This ambiguity extends to (or perhaps stems from) educators’different approaches to teaching “science” and “engineering.” A poor understanding andappreciation of this difference profoundly affects the demographics of higher education aswell as those of the professional workforce.At the K-12 levels, educators’ attempts to introduce engineering into the curriculumtypically focus on either science education or technology training. The ideas in this paperarise from numerous discussions and from the collective work of the NSF Galileo Fellowsand their Directors at the School of Engineering, University of Connecticut. Our objectiveinvolves defining the concepts of science

Mazumder points out that US academic institutionshave the educational foundation necessary to combine technology and culture in the engineeringcurriculum. The current educational models in practice can take the form of internationalconcentrations and minors, cultural courses and cultural components in dual degree andsimultaneous degree programs, global simulation projects, international internships and teamprojects, study abroad and global courses.
