Each teamwas charged to define the specifications for their own project that is compatible to the guidelinesset by the PACE Program.The biggest challenge was in forming a team across various time zones at the beginning of aproject. We managed our large team (29 undergraduate students and 5 faculty members) quitesuccessfully using the SMART - Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely-methodology of George T. Doran to evaluate our strategic plans and project milestones.We divided our team into eight groups comprising 4-5 members, having at least one industrialdesign and one industrial engineering student in each group. We elected a group leader for eachdevelopment area to help stay focused on the goals. Every two months, each

countries is of primeimportance. External quality assurance has become the most important issue on the policyagenda of higher education systems across the world.Given the many disparities in educational systems, lack of agreement on any common body ofknowledge, and wide variations in evaluation and accreditation systems the further developmentof quality assurance systems becomes of the first order importance. Clearly, there is anopportunity to achieve agreement on appropriate attributes essential to the formation ofengineering graduates and the necessary metrics to measure and confirm them. It should be notedhere that we are here mostly concerned with programmatic accreditation as opposed toinstitutional accreditation [19, 20]. The current status

The WFEO is an international,non-governmental organization representing the engineering profession worldwide.The WFEO was founded in 1968 by a group of regional engineering organizations,under the auspices of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and CulturalOrganizations (UNESCO) in Paris. WFEO is organized as a respectable and valuablesource of advice and guidance on the policies, interests and concerns that relate toengineering and technology to human and natural environment. Today, the WFEObrings together national engineering organizations from over 90 nations andrepresents 15 million engineers from around the world.Since its founding in 1968, the WFEO has spared no effort in addressing the issue ofengineering education

In the second andthird courses in this series, students have the opportunity to practice real-life scenarios andwitness their impact first-hand.This curriculum can be directly integrated into undergraduate coursework to fulfill electiverequirements; furthering the potential impact of engineering education and careers.

Faculty from relateddisciplines and graduate students interested in pursuing academic careers are encouraged toattend. The workshops provide a space and time for faculty and deans to learn aboutengineering education issues, revamping its curricula, effective teaching/learning methodsand become aware of best practices so they can become more effective educators.During the last two years, HP has partnered with IIDEA, the International Institute forDeveloping Engineering Academics13, to not only sponsor, but also participate

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?

Despite this, the most notableoutcome of a “review of the literature on curriculum in higher education in the UK, the USA andAustralia … [is that there] is the dearth of writing on the subject” 2. That literature which doesaddress higher education curricula assumes a common understanding of the term curriculum andtargets curriculum related issues such as ‘inclusive curriculum’, ‘learner-centered curriculum’,internationalization of the curriculum or it focuses on the design of individual courses – that is,single units of study 2.Accepting that an important aspect of our role as academics is “not to impart knowledge, but todesign learning environments that support knowledge
