The National Academy of Engineering, for example,have stated in their vision of “The Engineer of 2020” that engineering activities should beframed in the context of rapidly moving technological changes, global interconnection ofresources, and an increasingly diverse and multidisciplinary population of individuals involvedin or affected by engineering developments. Among the NAE aspirations for the engineeringfield is “a future where engineers are prepared to adapt to changes in global forces and trendsand to ethically assist the world in creating a balance in the standard of living for developing anddeveloped countries alike”3.

Recognizing the need, many engineeringschools in the U.S. have started offering ethics and study abroad programs to their undergraduatestudents. Our research shows that selection of countries for study abroad programs have widenedsignificantly in the recent years. For example, in the nineties, the US Universities were offeringstudy abroad programs mostly in European and few other developed countries in the Asia pacificregion. In recent years, that list has grown significantly including many other countries aroundthe world like South Africa, Brazil, Russia, China, Chile, and India to name a few.

For example, oneparticular case study in Gary Downey’s book highlighted the challenges inimplementation of a program to connect student engineers with underserved communitiesin an international setting. Differences in culture and language coupled with thegeographical distance compounded made the project untenable and it had to stop. Someof the reasons she cited included that “the large body of knowledge in the developmentarea was not readily accessible or available to engineers,” and students did not activelyseek out the ethical and social understanding necessary
