; instead, civil engineering faculty have an additional mandate to help studentsparticipate in the multiple roles in which they will participate as practicing engineers. Globallearning, in this sense, extends beyond a simple definition of the term to denote a preoccupationwith internationalism, but instead connotes a whole host of ideas, which Kevin Hovland argues,better prepares students to apply their technical expertise, and thus open “the door for democraticpractice and social responsibility at the experiential level.”11The project introduced herein is seeking to improve the ability of Civil and EnvironmentalEngineering graduates from the University of Utah to have an impact in a global society byapplying their knowledge, skills, and aptitudes
