Students who participated in the conferencegained a unique experience that opened their eyes and minds to the world around them, and thefaculty members who attended the event were able to gain tremendous insights that they couldshare with their own students.3. The Global EngineerThe practice of civil engineering and construction on a global scale requires that engineeringgraduates be adequately prepared to deal with diverse issues that surpass their geographicalboundaries and challenge their comfort zone. Parkinson7 presented a rationale for developingglobal competence. In his synthesis, he answered the question of why global competence isneeded and provided concrete

Spanish course for first and second-year engineering studentsat URI during the fall 2014 semester. The course is designed for Spanish IEP students in theirfirst years of study as a way to bring global sustainability issues in the concrete context of LatinAmerica to the forefront of their minds as early as possible in their course of study, while alsocreating a unique opportunity for them to link their study of Spanish more directly to theirengineering disciplines. The course will provide students with the chance to use their Spanishskills to explore innovative sustainability initiatives of varying scope and led by a variety ofgroups (from large multinational corporations to local grassroots movements). Students willdevelop more advanced reading

Earlier it is developed, better it is. Younger minds are more malleable andhave whole careers ahead of them. Carver,et al. argue that before running an empirical study at asoftware company, it is useful to carry out a pilot study with students in an academic setting14.Therefore, we limited our scope of research to a set of engineering students who had some experience indeveloping software.Selection of InstrumentsAlthough egoless programming - as a concept - has

Page 20.2.3 The first aspect is that the Russian engineers should consider their papers as turnkey products, which will not need to be polished by editors and that will simply be rejected if English is improper. An introductory mind-changing lecture is offered with the consideration of “turnkey polishing” in the final course score. Another “mind-changing” paradigm is that an original paper written in English is MUCH better than the translation of
