resultingsemantic map documents the relationships among engineering global preparedness and threeother broad categories, some of which are particular to engineering education and others thatmay be applied to other higher education contexts concerned with global preparedness. Inaddition to global preparedness, the remaining three categories are international contextualknowledge, personal and professional qualities, and cross-cultural communication skills andstrategies. The results of this research are intended to inform both engineering and internationaleducation.IntroductionRapidly advancing technologies, global economic integration, and hyper-connected communitieshave profoundly affected the landscape of the engineering profession and as a consequence
Educational Alliance, which is a local nonprofit focused on cradle-to-career educationaldevelopment in Elkhart County, Indiana. Given that the number of students in the new site wasquite small and that multiple factors were changing concurrently, stakeholders agreed thattargeted qualitative data would be most useful to iterative improvement.C-EEEM researchers and program designers framed the areas of interest for the information tobe collected and verified by Horizon, with allowances for emergent themes from interviews. Theintention was to unbiasedly collect perspectives from interns and the Teacher-Mentor thataddress questions of interest for C-EEEM development generally and the Elkhart Catalystspecifically.

How does a transistor compare to a virus in terms ofsize? How can meters be converted to feet, or feet to meters? Magnitude Museum is aneducational game that helps students answer questions like these as they learn the terminologyand applications of nanotechnology, develop a sense of scale, and understand units of size.In the game, each floor of the museum represents an order of magnitude of size in meters, withthe exhibits on a floor displaying information about things that are in that size range.

[2].To address this problem, we have developed an Applied Computing for Behavioral and SocialSciences (ACBSS) minor degree program for behavioral and social sciences students at San JoséState University (SJSU). We considered three major factors for creating this program. First, withthe emergence of big data, there is a strong demand for workers who have both domainknowledge and technical skills [3, 4]. Modeling human behaviors and social interactions throughbig data is a fruitful area for technology-capable graduates to pursue career opportunities andadvanced studies. Second, a large number of students are studying behavioral and socialsciences, both at SJSU and in universities across the nation. Indeed, behavioral and socialscience majors
