There may have been as many as 800 attendees andthe symposium was quite interesting because of the diverse nature of the grandchallenges. The breadth of topics placed the symposium at the opposite end of thespectrum of typical single topic engineering symposia or conferences. But what was theprocess that had led up to this symposium?In 2006 the National Academy of Engineering started a project titled Grand Challengesfor Engineering. The stated purpose of this National Academy of Engineering project1is In a fourteen-month project, the NAE will convene a select, international committee to evaluate ideas on the greatest challenges and

They also have a dual degree M.S.program whereby a student obtains a M.S. from Georgia Tech as well as from a partner Frenchuniversity in about 18 months.23Georgia Tech recently announced its “International Plan.” Students from any discipline spendtwo terms abroad and take courses in international relations and cultural issues. They alsocomplete a capstone course in which their international skills are used.24 Michigan has a similarprogram in Global Engineering that involves completing 24 credit hours of course work alongwith a study abroad experience.25 A number of other universities offer some sort of global
schools of engineering to provide an international experience for theirstudents, in part because they can easily be introduced into a relatively inflexible engineeringcurriculum compared to traditional study abroad experiences. Experiential education, a modelfirst articulated by John Dewey who developed theories of education rooted in and transformedby experience, is a term commonly applied to such “hands on” experiences as cooperativeeducation, internships, outdoor education, organizational development and training, and servicelearning7. In an experiential education program, students participate in a carefully chosenexperience and then engage in reflection, critical analysis, and synthesis of related information8.In Kolb’s model of experiential
