Mechanical aptitude, power of engineering observation,mechanical intelligence and spatial perception are professionally important qualities. However engineering activity is of creative nature. Real engineer should actindependently, creatively and with initiative in every field. Often engineers become teammanagers, therefore administrative abilities are also of great importance. Sense of responsibility is also necessary for professional engineers as wise utilizationof funds, equipment and manpower often depends on his work, abilities and self-discipline.

isthat some departments employ a more passive approach only sending marketing material abroad,while others have active recruiting strategies. There is a lack of an institutionally coordinatedeffort. Although it may be true that graduate students come to a department and not to aninstitution, according to Katz (2006), universities are increasingly aware that to succeed, therecruiting initiative cannot remain entirely decentralized [10]. An example of such coordinatedefforts is a program implemented by Purdue called Graduate Recruitment Overseas (GRO) [10].GRO is a three-year trial grant competition for overseas recruiting trips supported by theprovost’s office with an allocation of $60,000 [10].Two additional examples of coordinated efforts
