, trained faculty raters use the analytical EPS Rubric to measure theextent to which student performance demonstrate the six learning outcomes associated with theABET professional skills in response to a given task. What has just been described is the“standard” version of the EPSA; the method and rubric are flexible, allowing for multiple Page 21.2.4implementation variations ranging from on-line group discussions to individual multi-weekprojects. Appendix A shows a sample performance task. Appendix B shows the EPS Rubric.Research goal and questionsThe primary goal of this research project is to establish the validity and reliability of
Paper ID #8289Creating A Global Solutions CurriculumMiss Megan Elizabeth Sharp, IUPUI School of Engineering and Technology Megan received her Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from Ball State University in 2007. The area of focus was International Studies, and the degree was accompanied by minors in International Resource Management and Peace Studies & Conflict Resolution. Following her undergraduate work, Megan at- tended Taylor University and earned a Masters of Environmental Science in 2009, following an overseas internship with the ACTS Group of Institutions in Bangalore, India. Megan’s academic and personal
Paper ID #8356A New Educational Approach towards Preparing Skilled Chemical Engineersfor Special Assignments in the Energy FieldDr. Nimir Elbashir, Texas A&M University at Qatar Dr. Elbashir is an Associate Professor at Texas A&M University at Qatar (TAMUQ) and the Manger its Fuel Characterization Lab. He has over sixteen years of research and teaching experience. His research activities are mainly focused on design of advanced reactors and processes for the XTL technology (coal- to-liquid, gas-to-liquid and biomass-to liquid), and development of catalysts for the petrochemical and environmental industry. He holds

Nonetheless, much work remains to create andvalidate a much larger set of questions falling squarely within the realm of global engineeringcompetency, mirroring the types of real-world situations and behavioral expectations that globalengineers frequently encounter in their work.AcknowledgmentsThe authors gratefully acknowledge support for aspects of this work under National ScienceFoundation grant EEC-1160455, Global Engineering Competency: Definitions, DevelopmentPaths, and Situational Assessment.

world class faculty trained as postdoctoral research associates and industry research and development-experienced hires, primarily from leading North American and EU universities, government labs and industrial research and development centers. Maintaining their competitiveness on global scale requires optimization of substantial start-up investment;b. The desire (and a reasonable standard in the era of globalization) of the KUSTAR faculty and leadership is to enable and provide access of our students and faculty to world class user research facilities (such as nanofabrication foundries, US national laboratories, materials characterization facilities and similar) through exchange and internship programs, and such globally mobile
they wouldn’thave considered on their own. Online tools create a short-term collective memory where ideascan be rapidly improved by many minds.” Industry has top level program goals that may requiremultinational team work and the synergistic support structure of extremely large teams where noone person understands all the systems of systems in detail.There is a growing trend of global, multi-company collaboration within the aerospacecommunity. With the growing maturity of information technology and ever-increasingcomplexity of modern engineering and education, many parent companies form partnershipswith specialty teams in order to facilitate rapid development across all subsystems of a project.For example, the Boeing Company purchases roughly
