. Colleges of engineering must develop ways to prepare their students for this world. Students, of course, will only fully understand global concepts through the role models that their colleges provide. The Global Academic Industrial Network (GAIN) is an attempt to create multi- organizational, international partnerships of academic and industrial organizations that emphasize collaborative educational programs and research that meets the global needs of faculty, students, and industry. IntroductionThe need for a global perspective in engineering education is, perhaps, best understood from aquote by Peter Drucker1, “In the new mental geography created
