This would enable students to gain 21st century literacy skills, thus empowering theclassroom to meet its challenges.The paper presents the students’ assessment results of the idea of storytelling as a catalyst to theirengagement in the class and as a means to enhance their understanding of the subject.

identified ten challenges that civil engineers would face in aglobally growing market. Endersbee4 maintains that civil engineering is an internationalprofession that will have to deal with increasing world population, substantial advances inagricultural practices, urbanization, mobility in location of world manufacture, issues oftransportation in cities, advances in computer and communication technologies, the increasingworld demand for electricity, the impact of energy use on the climate, implications of possibleclimate change, and the different laws at the international level. These challenges are a realitytoday, and civil engineers and constructors entering the job market must be well prepared to meetthem by educational programs that emphasize
number of students and faculty participating in study abroad. In fact,the Bradley Summer program has shifted to a more robust January interim program. Afterdescribing the early developments of the CEC Global Explorer Program, this paper will alsoexplore how the emphases on internationalization and sustainable development were integratedinto the CEC curriculum.

trying tofacilitate innovation in their employees, but students are not learning how to be creative in arapidly changing world 1. For solving this problem it is necessary to project the integrativeeducational system (cluster) for training creatively thinking students.For this objective an innovative educational model, new methodology and technology, newthinking, and higher level of consciousness become necessary. Models of contemporaryengineering education and activity must be based on general models which take intoconsideration the unity of the world in its complex connections, and ecological, ethical,aesthetical principles. In the process of developing the model an attention was focused on thefundamentalization of education, which is based
