ideas by tapping into a youthful student resource pool. There is also thepotential of cost savings by resolving “engineering challenges” that may be solved with theinflux of new and diverse talent. Both industry and academia benefit by developing keyrelationships on a global scale. As more engineers are needed with global collaborative skills,efforts like the SGDC can develop engineers to face the needs of today’s (and tomorrow’s)industry.The students in the pilot showed a significant increase in their understanding of cross-culturalcommunication and globalization. The next implementation will provide an additionalopportunity for students to participate in a global design team.References1. Whitman, L.E., Malzahn, D. E., Chaparro, B

perceivedresponse was very positive and that the villagers accepted and would continue to use the projects.In terms of maintaining the technology, however, the students were more skeptical of the abilityof the villagers to maintain the technology. Personal interviews with the villagers showed thatthey were very grateful and excited to see how these projects would help them to receive thebasic needs of life. Acceptance level of the projects usually depended on the technicality of theproject or process being implemented. Overall, the more technically complicated a project was,the more difficult it was for the people to understand, maintain, and use. Upon post-implementation follow-up, this observation was confirmed as the more complicated projectswere

In this regard, it has affected the traditional distancelearning by transforming it from a static videotape delivery to a more dynamic format by addingor substituting the web as the delivery media.
