ABET’s Engineering AccreditationCommission (EAC) is explicitly linked to acquiring a global skill set, by teaching the “broadeducation necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global economic,environmental, and societal context”. Similarly, ABET’s Technology Accreditation Commission(ETAC) requires “a respect for diversity and a knowledge of contemporary professional, societaland global issues”4. The EAC and ETAC’s student learning outcomes based on the criterion ofglobal competency are that the students:a) “will demonstrate substantial knowledge [or factual understanding] of the similarities and differences among engineers and

Inaddition, graduate students involved in the project are expected to monitor each student’sperformance and progress in the laboratory setting. Ideally, concerns are addressed early, and thestudent is mentored to overcome weaknesses or deficiencies in regards to research. The facultymentor is expected to provide constructive criticism to the students to help them gain the mostfrom the summer program.Assessment:The program was assessed in a number of ways.

Because of the competitive environment in which they operate,the faculty who design and teach in them are often under pressure to provide evidence of thevalue they add and challenged with finding a place in perpetually overcrowded undergraduatecurricula. The history of engineering education demonstrates that curricular transformation inengineering is difficult at best.
