Engineering Professionals—Russia, India, AmericaAbstractIn this global world, today’s engineer is likely to have to work in global international teamswith colleagues from other nationalities. The challenge for many engineering curricula is howto include, in a realistic way, this global dimension and increase the student’s awareness ofthe issues that are encountered. However as curricula begins to be developed, it would bebeneficial to study what the differences might be between cultures.To expose the issues that may be encountered for future multidisciplinary teams made up ofstudents from USA, Russia and India, the Miville Guzman Universal Diversity Scale(MGUDS-S) survey and form which assesses cross cultural diversity

The major cause was lack ofresources and awareness which eventually resulted in absence of defined career path neither inacademia nor in industry. The situation is changing now with a positive rate. However, there stillis only a small fraction of students opting for this field in their undergraduate studies. This hasposed a challenge to academia to introduce students of different background to thismultidisciplinary field. A new introductory course for undergraduate ECE students was neededespecially. Several courses are offered at various institutes for non-biomedical students; howevera single course covering the breadth of this field without going

Based on this analysis (often done in a matter ofminutes), a speaker can then determine the scope, style, and organization of what s/hewants to say.Experienced communicators do this analysis and synthesis without much difficulty, movingefficiently to the appropriate oral communication act. But students are usually novices at thiskind of thinking and speaking. Moreover, engineering students may be unused to thestandards of excellence in their technical discipline and thus fall back onto older strategies,often adopted from the humanities. Because they are novices, they need to learn activelyunder the guidance of instructors who help shape student skills.The design

When you’re doing an AutoCAD design a lot of shapes are already built into the program so you’re creating the design for the electrical person to follow. It’s cool because I learned how to build the basic components myself. (Alexis)While

Taking this approach allows educators to not onlyspecify the contents of “actions that have the potential to have a serious impact on the lives ofothers,” but also motivate the importance of ethical and reach better consensus among studentsregarding the nature of ethics in engineering.Towards these ends, in courses taught at SJTU, Shanghai, China and Purdue University, WestLafayette, IN, instructors have developed and used case studies on, for instance, the UeberlingenMid-Air Collision in Germany and Qihoo 360’s P1 Wireless Router in China.

institution. It is common to include both study abroad officials and faculty. Individualschools may be relatively small and often do not have the enrollment numbers to create a costeffective study abroad contingent. By coming together, a group of schools can create agreementsamong themselves as well as with the global partner(s). The consortium then sends a large groupof students to their partner institution(s) reducing the overall cost per student as well as ensuringthe integrity of the educational experience. Member schools sometimes sign off on course creditsthough a process of triangulation.
