shortages, depletionof energy resources, scarcity of materials, overpopulation, and poverty are no longer bounded bygeographic and cultural divides. Consequently, engineering education must rise to thechallenges of tomorrow and produce engineers and builders who possess the needed knowledge,skills, global perspective, and social awareness to succeed. This is a formidable challenge thateducational institutions are unlikely to be able to meet alone as the task goes beyond ensuringstudent technical competency. It must involve collaboration with global business partners,international institutions, and employers seeking engineering graduates.2.

Initially, four objectives for the CEC Global Explorer Program were outlined: 1) tosend students abroad for study either for a short mini-semester or full semester; 2) persuadeinternational students to come to Bradley; 3) embark on a faculty exchange; and 4) to fosterinternational research exchange between the CEC department and
