Paper ID #13961What is global preparedness? Arriving at answers in collaboration with stu-dent engineers working with underserved communities globallyDr. Bhavna Hariharan, Stanford University Bhavna Hariharan is a Social Science Research Associate at the Kozmetsky Global Collaboratory in the School of Humanities and Sciences at Stanford University. Her field of inquiry is Engineering Education Research (EER) with a focus on engineering design for and with underserved communities around the world. For the last nine years, she has worked on designing, implementing and managing environments for interdisciplinary
environment (e.g. an established Makerspace and a collaborative atmosphere), 2) educationand training for both students and faculty, and 3) opportunities for students to showcase theirwork (p. 13). In academic settings, Making and Makerspaces often embrace the principles ofexperiential learning.University MakerspacesIn academic engineering and engineering technology settings, Making draws many parallels toexperiential education, most notably their shared emphasis on both hands-on learning and self-directed, iterative learning experiences. Experiential education recognizes risk-taking andexperimentation beneficial to learning, asserting that these features of the learning processfurther engage the learner, and allow them to better construct meaning

Co op students learncommunication, team collaboration, program and project management, leadership ofimplementation, and achieving through consequences, accountability and evaluation, as well asmany other skills.In order to be able to document these educational advantages, one must have a vision of thedesired result.

, education program manager at Agilent Technologies, said his company works to “prepare today's students to be ready to face the real world by providing the opportunity for hands-on experience.” 2These hands-on activities are not just engineering. They involve the two-way process ofcommunication. These collaborative projects, much like our capstone design course bringtogether industry and academia to instill in the future engineers the great need to communicatewith multiple entities.ConclusionsThe academic community, obviously including students, must look closely at the varieties ofways that communication activities are influenced by industrial contact. Co-ops, internships, andexperiential learning have many elements that involve
