Students were placed in small groups, and each person was assigned acountry from a different region of the world (e.g., one team had members assigned Egypt, SouthKorea, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Colombia, and Indonesia). The students assumed therole of managers of an international team of engineers from their assigned countries and had todetermine how to lead the team effectively. In the first part of the project, each group identifiedquestions they could ask to learn about the cultural and business practices in their countries.Each student then located and communicated with an engineer from their assigned country todiscuss those questions.

For example, on the 2011-2012 graduating seniorsurvey, students were asked “how important is it to you whether or not you passed the FEexam?” Among the 56 respondents, 9% selected not at all/not very and 9% answeredmoderately; we believe that all students should respond moderately or higher. Also, it was feltthat the level of knowledge and learning acquired in the senior design course was insufficient formany of the professional skills. For example, the ability of students to analyze issues inprofessional ethics was not being documented

There are a number of professional benefits enjoyed by engineers and ultimatelymade possible by broad adoption of a code of ethics.
