AbstractIn order to prepare our graduates for the ever-changing global landscape, in the Fall 2013, theWhitacre College of Engineering (WCOE) at Texas Tech University (TTU) established theInternational Experience Initiative (IEI), a bold initiative that requires all undergraduate studentsin the college of engineering to complete an experience abroad before

Itrequires “broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a globaland societal context.” The YALI Fellows’ projects provide performance indicators for OutcomeH. Our university evaluates this outcome in the Lean Manufacturing class, because all studentsin that class directly work on the same international project. Each student on a team mustresearch and design a solution to a different issue related to the global aspects of theproject. Issues vary by project, but have included equipment sourcing and selection, materialsourcing and selection

Introduction This paper focuses on exploring an effective solution to improve technical writing inhigher education in China. Technical writing is in many occasions considered as a subset of abroader term, technical communication. In this study, technical writing is specifically referred toas a term that represents an increasingly broad set of activities designed to communicateunderstandable information that can enhance productivities1. As long as our modern societyneeds to go forward, technical writing will be indispensable. The terms, Lower Order Concerns(LOCs) and Higher Order

Moldova imports approximately 96% of its energy from the Ukraine andRomania. This situation is clearly unsustainable and highly undesirable. Moldova is also one ofthe poorest countries in Europe with little native mineral wealth but blessed with incrediblyfertile soil. The primary industries in Moldova are based on agriculture and wine products. Theenergy situation provides Moldova with the incentive for developing a detailed review andanalysis of its renewable energy potential which will then provide

Educational PartnershipIntroduction:Over the last three decades, the internet has accelerated interconnectedness. From thisinterconnectedness, the appearance of the “micro-multinational” or small to medium-sizedcompany that operates internationally has become a major contender. Given the highlyinternational level of economic activity now seen1, engineering graduates will likely be calledupon to navigate effectively in the global economy.In response to economic needs, post-secondary institutions have begun to address ways thatglobal competency can be integrated into engineering programs. Five educational methods thatcan be used to help develop global competency are listed below: 1. International enrolment refers to the traditional student
