Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Toward Success of Collaborative Program In School of Engineering Between the US and ChinaAbstract:In 2013, the University of Bridgeport (UB) in the United States (U.S.) and the WuhanUniversity of Science and Technology (WUST) in People’s Republic of China (China)agreed on an undergraduate collaborative program in electrical engineering. Studentsadmitted by Department of Electrical Engineering (EE) at WUST will study in China for 2years, then students can be transferred to the same program at UB in the U.S. for theremaining academic requirements at UB. Upon the completion of all graduationrequirements at UB, students will receive a Bachelor of Science in EE from UB. Studentswho

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.

technological and collaboratively global nature of 21st Century engineers. Thismay lower the interest and engagement for students and leave them less prepared if they do2pursue an engineering career path later on (Fralick et al., 2009; Knight & Cunningham,2004).There were a few studies, mostly at the level of higher education, which investigated thebenefits of study abroad collaborative engineering programs (Streiner et al., 2015). Thestudents who participated in these studies acquired a greater understanding of the currentissues that engineers face in a global and social context (Jesiek et al., 2014). However, itmay be unrealistic and financially difficult for K-12 students to study abroad andexperience the benefits of international learning

oral communication and calculus III. These courses are chosen because it fulfills the degree requirements for all TTU engineering and computer science students. In Paris, students will stay in shared apartments for six weeks with CEA coordinating all onsite program logistics. This is the first year the IEP office has ran this program and there are 11 TTU engineering students participating in this program. In the future, the CEA program will be modified so that TTU can collaborate with other U.S. Higher Education Institutions and make this program open to students outside of TTU. This will help generate more student participation, as well as, become more cost effective. TTU is also expanding into a semesterlong program at this location. In
engineering ethics, how can that benefit be understood from the more general standpoint of the purposes of science and engineering ethics per se? It is now widely understood that contemporary science and engineering are increasingly international and collaborative. These complex practices are subject to difficulties introduced by differences in languages, cultures, social norms, education, religion, political systems, laws, resource and infrastructure availability, and other factors. Despite these variations, there is an important common factor in the production of scientific and engineering knowledge: it is not just descriptive, explanatory, and predictive

Thesecourses can provide educational context for the impacts – both positive and negative – that engineers havehad and continue to have on the developing world.

purposes.The stage of innovation. Fortunately, ECE is now beginning to envision the true potential of thispartnership. ECE is finding that, by engaging in this cross-departmental effort, ECE has thepotential to emerge as an innovator rather than a follower when it comes to the education offuture engineers for global citizenship. Future engineers have much to benefit from a campusuniversity internationalization plan. It is the result of these efforts that will allow futureengineers to develop the core competencies to effectively function in a global world. Theseinclude: the development of an intercultural competence, world mindedness,4,5 and so forth.The stage of innovation has also been further nurtured by the collaborative interdisciplinary workthat
