Community members will also be asked to work alongsidethe students in implementing the project to gain a deeper understanding of the structure orsystem that is being put in place and as a means of providing their own equity to the project.Where possible, community members may also be asked to supply a portion of the financialresources or materials necessary to complete the project.During the trip, students will assimilate their new experiences through several academicactivities. Students will be required to keep a journal documenting their experiences. Beyond asimple account of each day’s activities, the journals will be used to encourage critical thinking asstudents provide analysis of their

effectiveness of the program, the agenda for the upcoming 2013experience has been adjusted to focus less time in the formal classroom environment, and moretime in the field. However, rather than exclusively focusing the field time on construction, theconcepts presented at the beginning of the class (1) history and economics of development andunderdevelopment in Latin America, 2) social capital, 3) the ethical foundation of internationalassistance, and 4) the role of technology in development will be revisited through groupdiscussion and reflection activities.Works Cited[1] A.

programs have set in stone the needfor graduates to think well beyond the technical domains of engineering5. The culturaldifferences students are likely to encounter when working overseas or liaising withcolleagues offshore has placed an emphasis on global competency and international aspectsof intercultural competency. There is now a substantial body of work exploring this area1-3.Many of the considerations relating to working across national boundaries involve clearlyidentifiable, though not necessarily known, differences in cultural norms and work practices.This discussion paper looks at cross cultural interactions from a different perspective. Itexplores the question:How can subtle cultural differences be managed in engineering education and

many existing programs, which often began as experimental initiatives based on aparticular existing relationship to a particular university abroad. This often makes suchinitiatives both difficult to scale beyond the natural capacity of the initial partnership and, moreimportantly, difficult to expand to other departments, colleges, or institutions. What is needed isa robust, broadly-applicable model for pursuing internationalization of STEM education on acollege-wide basis.In this paper, we provide a starting point for this conversation by discussing our development ofthe Global Science and Engineering Program (GSEP), an ambitious internationalization initiativeuniformly spanning all science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) degree

could apply mathematics himself did not implythat he knew how to use his knowledge in his teaching. It often happened that mathematiciansignored aspects of reality when doing mathematics.In recent research of 2007, Lesh & Zawojewski2 posed the same problem and asserted thatamong mathematics educators there was a common recognition, that a serious mismatch existedand was growing between the skills obtained at schools and the kind of understanding andabilities that were needed for success beyond school. Almost at the same time Ilyenkov3 wroteabout a current problem of ‘the practical application of knowledge to life’. Like Freudenthal in1968, Ilyenkov in 2009 saw the problem in how the subject was taught. He asserted that theattempts of some

concern is evident 7.Engineering programs have recognized that they must produce globally competent graduateswho, by working cross culturally, and beyond national boundaries can effectively identifyopportunities, understand market forces, and successfully commercialize new technologies. Thiscall has come from professional organizations including the National Academy of Engineering(NAE) and its widely quoted The Engineer of 2020, the American Society of EngineeringEducation and the American Society for Mechanical Engineers 8, 9. As a result, a small, butgrowing number of engineering programs now imbed international experiences in their curricula.There is a second concern: Can these graduates become world citizens?

Global educational policy is to encourage mobility ofpeople, workers and citizens, during their studies and during their professional lives. The generalobjective of the Lifelong Learning Programme in Europe is to contribute through lifelonglearning to the development of the European countries inside European Union (EU) as anadvanced knowledge-based society, with sustainable economic development, more and betterjobs and greater social cohesion, while ensuring good protection of the environment for
