It concludes that the current practices by variousuniversities will help engineering educators to create more practical, scaleable, diversified andsustainable programs in a global context.I. IntroductionEngineering is now practiced in a global, holistic business context1. It is common for engineers to workon multi-national teams designing products, which will be manufactured in one part of the world andsold in another part2. The ever-increasing trend of economic globalization necessitates dynamic andmeaningful collaboration between engineers, designers and executives, transcending political andcultural boundaries3,4.Today’s engineering students graduate in a world that is becoming highly competitive as geographicalbarriers are

155 Work in Progress: Engineering Student Services Center Model Edwin Odom, Don Blackketter, Larry Stauffer, and Steven Beyerlein University of IdahoBackgroundMany engineering colleges have recently established student service centers to monitor andformally address in-class and out-of-class issues in student life. The fact that these centers aresituated within engineering colleges, run by faculty/staff familiar with engineering education andcommitted to expanding the ranks of future engineers, and a convenient one-stop-shop forunderclassmen in all programs, leads to responsive and effective

Theseguidelines were to be shareable by other teams, and had to be relevant for creating other learningmaterials (Generalizability Principle). By examining their own example problem and those of Proceedings of the 2010 American Society for Engineering Education Zone IV Conference Copyright © 2010, American Society for Engineering Education 221other teams, they could decide if their procedure (or model) was sufficient (Self AssessmentPrinciple).

Knowing the past may result in abrighter future.IntroductionSometimes, a glance into the past is painful. Engineers view themselves as educated, humaneindividuals who are dedicated to making the world a better place: improving living conditions,providing clean water, developing more productive agricultural methods, generating technologyto enhance communications between people in the far corners of the earth.
