So it waswith software engineering.Software engineering is a relatively young scientific discipline. For the first time, the term“Software Engineering” was proposed in 1968 at the NATO conference at Garmisch-Partenkirchen devoted to the so-called “software crisis” that has arisen with the developmentof computers of the third generation, allowing the realization not previously implementedsoftware projects. There was a need for new technologies and methods of management for thedevelopment of complex large software systems. In Russia, the HSE in 2006 began to developfirst domestic standard on software

. Therefore, there is no financial penaltyfor “freeloading” any classes each semester by staying registered without attending.Following the traditional Japanese lecture approach (high coupling/high hierarchy) in Englishwill result in too much supply of knowledge to the Japanese students with too littleunderstanding. A professor’s teaching will quickly reach saturation without any feedbackfrom the students through active participation. Hence, the interactive classroom is vital notonly for effective learning by the students, but also for effective pacing by the professor.U.S. engineering education can also benefit from Japanese educational norms.

profession. The challenge for many engineering education programs ishow to include this global dimension in the curriculum. The most common and traditionalapproach is study abroad programs, however, a limited number of students can afford themdue to financial and other reasons. Thus, universities try to find other opportunities for the so-called ‘internationalization at home’3 e.g. cross-cultural communication trainings2. Acomparative analysis of the engineering curricula at the US and Russian leading researchuniversities shows that only few of them succeed in developing a global mindset of theirgraduates. This process requires a new generation of faculty who are globally engagedthemselves13.An approach described in our previous paper16 focuses of

Kroppand Meier11 introduced the Agile Competence Pyramid model, differentiating various levelsof these agile skills and rating them in importance. Agile values are considered to be mostimportant in their model by being on the top of the pyramid. However, the authors notethat this level of the model “is mostly completely neglected” in current course programs.In order to address this issue in an integrated approach, we have developed the softwareengineering

Despite the existing difficulties in the process of adopting a competence-based approach inthe Russian Education System12, changes in the traditional educational paradigm and arevision of the content of education continue. One of the challenges in the process is to designthe fundamentally new activity-focused techniques aimed at developing these competences.

First, we have introduced faculty-led summerstudy abroad programs that are integrated with the curriculum and satisfy degree requirementsfor our students. Second, we have recruited student ambassadors to increase awareness ofvarious opportunities that exist. We have developed a new minor in Global EngineeringLeadership as an incentive for students while simultaneously helping to better prepare them towork effectively in a global marketplace. Finally, the college and the university have been ableto develop scholarships so students from all financial backgrounds have the opportunity to gainvaluable

The MQP is similar to senior design projects implemented at otheruniversities, focusing specifically on developing engineering solutions to technical problems; assuch, student teams are generally major-specific.The IQP is in many ways the cornerstone of the WPI Plan; whereas in 1970 there were otherschools that had capstone design and humanities projects as a part of their STEM curriculum, thefaculty observed a need for a project in which engineering skills would be built in a societalcontext. This was due primarily to the failure of post-war technological progress to deliver on theutopian promises of the 1950s: despite incredible scientific breakthroughs
