Writtenand oral communications skills, teamwork, marketing, leadership and project management skillshave long been recognized as valuable traits. This paper asserts, as a result of globalization andthe overall expansion of engineering industries across international borders, that there is a needfor a new, non-technical competency for engineering students in intercultural communication.Engineering educators should include this competency in curriculum in order to educate ourstudents as global citizens who are capable of working tactfully, graciously, and effectively ininternational settings.While other educators have found bases for courses and modules that address

The multinational companies are interested to knowthe quality of graduates of a country as compared to certain educational standards. In order toensure quality assurance worldwide, an International Engineering Alliance has been formed.There are three agreements known as Washington (for engineers), Dublin (for technologist) andSidney (for technician) Accords covering mutual recognition in respect of tertiary-levelqualifications in engineering.
