the network’s goals to raise public awarenessabout how engineering can help society. Using these two ‘lenses’ we highlight the challengesof partnering with multiple nations using documented theories of transdisciplinary working.Challenges such as inexperience and communicating over large time-zone differencesreplicates what other transdisciplinary programmes experience. What we have learnt is thatknowledge about multination collaboration is tacit. The challenge for the engineeringeducation community is to make this knowledge explict so that we can equip ourselves andthe next generation of engineers to effectively practice across disciplines and cultures.Introduction and RationaleCurrently, engineering education globally is going through a

These studies continue to emphasize that technical content knowledge andcompetencies are essential for any engineer; however, in addition to being well-grounded inmathematics and science, 21st century engineers should be well-shaped in broaderknowledge-base and diverse personal/ interpersonal key-skills.Qatar is increasingly investing in knowledge development within its boundary, eitherthrough home grown manpower or through collaborative
/inefficient use of facilities, inadequate technical support,and limited access. This is especially important for engineering education in developingnations.Different solutions and technologies exist today to implement online laboratories as well asdifferent communication standards and data exchange protocols. Therefore, eachinstitution/university is likely to adopt its own standards and approaches to performing tasks,such as handling users’ accounts and managing experiment data. Because of these challenges,sharing remote laboratories is more difficult. To address these issues as well as to promote anddevelop the online laboratories through international collaboration, the Global OnlineLaboratory Consortium (GOLC) has been established. As the first

Heterogeneous groups and culturally heterogeneous ones, inparticular, can benefit from the sharing of different perspectives and different backgroundknowledge (Popov et al., 2014; Popov et al., 2013; Weinberger et al., 2007). From aneducational policy perspective, moreover, many schools and universities are usingcollaborative learning technologies to better prepare students for the world of work.Balakrishnan (2015) has found that the use of CSCL had positive impact on engineeringstudents’ learning in terms of their learning achievement and positive attitude towardsonline collaborations. These findings seem to be consistent with other research on the useof CSCL in engineering education (see for details Rubio et al., 2010

The challenges facing today's engineers are so complex that they require theinvolvement of teams of experts specialized in different fields. The volume of informationand knowledge needed to understand and solve problems is increasing so fast that one personcannot keep up with it all. Intense specialization increases the value of the ability to functionon a multidisciplinary team. As a result, the need
technical and leadership competencies. The experts concluded: Leaders needto be systems thinkers; all engineers need some education and training in systems engineeringknowledge and skills; and all systems engineers need to be well versed in a broad set of socio-technical and leadership skills, serving as a central, multi-disciplinary focal point for systemsdevelopment with stakeholders from all walks of life. With this as the backdrop, this paperaddresses three separate research efforts focused on advancing undergraduate engineeringeducation and integrates the findings into a proposed pathway to systems education for the globalengineer.Characteristics of Global EngineersIn 2008, the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) in collaboration
