A recent study, In Search of Global Engineering Excellence1,summarizes the large majority of these findings: The ability to live and work in a global community is — today — an important requirement for engineering graduates. They need to have broad engineering skills and know-how, and to be flexible and mobile, and able to work internationally.Regrettably, the fulfillment of this international

novel ways of connecting with relevantaudience. Our analysis demonstrates that diversity initiatives related to STEM attract voices fromvarious entities including individuals, large corporations, media outlets, and community interestgroups.IntroductionThe term “STEM education” refers to teaching and learning in the fields of science, technology,engineering, and mathematics. According to Sanders (2008), in the 1990s, the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) “SMET” was the shorthand for “science, mathematics, engineering, andtechnology” and an NSF program officer complained that “SMET” sounded too much like “smut,”that resulted in the new acronym “STEM” [1]. Although it took some time for STEM to catch on,and even as recently as 2003 few people know

This is important since many studyabroad programs do not scale easily, and it is not yet clear for many institutions how toprovide an international experience for a large fraction of engineering students.SummaryThis paper has addressed two main questions related to global engineering education: “Whatdoes it mean for students to have global competence?” and, “What are the most importantattributes of global competence?” In answer to the first question, we

This response mechanism is aadjustment made by universities and programs on the basis of an accurate grasp of the qualityassurance mechanism, as a supplement to the traditional quality assurance mechanism. Toinvestigate the internal quality assurance in engineering education from the perspective ofconstructivism is to dynamically present the changes and reforms of internal mechanism.Similarly, Constructivism’s understanding of the mechanism also implies two logics. First,the mechanism itself can be designed to breed new mechanisms. When investigating theconnotation of the internal quality assurance mechanism of engineering education, it isnecessary to explain
