Whether or not the studentsshared these objectives or found them to be apparent in the delivery of the program is the subject Page 21.5.2of this paper. Students who attended the trips responded to prompts to describe: 1) how servicelearning helps with professional development, 2) the importance of international experiencesversus domestic ones, 3) whether the trip developed technical skills and, 4) the primarymotivating factors that urged them to join the trip.

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

Global Engineering Competencies and CasesWhether working on multi-national project teams, navigating geographically dispersed supplychains, or engaging customers and clients abroad, engineering graduates encounter worlds ofprofessional practice that are increasingly global in character. This new reality poses challengesfor engineering educators and employers, who are faced with the formidable task of preparingengineers to be more effective in diverse global contexts. In response, more global learningopportunities are being made available to engineering students, as reflected in gradual yet steadyincreases in the number of global engineering programs and participating students.1 Manycompanies are also offering professional development

Many students, too, enter engineering, technology,and construction programs with little knowledge of the global applications their degrees canoffer.
