Longitudinal EvolutionThe course curriculum for the sophomore Leadership Foundations course was adapted andevolved from a popular, senior-level elective class offered by the college. The course was Page 24.874.5originally developed and taught by a trio of motivated professors with an interest in engineeringeducation. The focus of the class was on moral and ethical engineering leadership and provideda context for that leadership in the global environment. As a pilot program, in 2010, additionalinstructors for the class were recruited from several departments around the college. Studentinterest in the class was already high, and sections of

Furthermore, thenature and complexity of emergency management has grown significantly in the past decade.During the Spring of 2010, JSU’s Technology Department was selected to receive a grant fromthe US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for establishing an Emergency ManagementTechnology (EMT) program. The establishment of this EMT program has met the increasedstudent and community demands.The undergraduate Technology curricula at JSU are designed to prepare students to work in awide range of industries, giving them a broad base upon which they can build, with subsequenteducation and training, to meet industry-specific needs. The EMT Program at Jackson StateUniversity is an interdisciplinary venture that

One concern is that the overall efforts of engineering schools toincorporate international experiences that promote global preparedness in the undergraduatecurriculum are still “in their infancy.” 2 Engineering students participate in internationalengineering programs in disturbingly low numbers. For example, among the 283,332 U.S.students in higher education who studied abroad for academic credit in the 2011-2012 academicyear, engineering students represented only 3.9%, (11,000).9 Moreover, the number of U.S.engineering students studying abroad has fluctuated over the past decade. There was a 1.3%increase in the number from 2010-2011 to 2011-2012; while a 9.1% decrease from 2009-2010 to2010-2011.7While
