The U.S. economy isbased on innovation and new technologies both of which have felt the effects ofglobalization. A recent report indicates that the U.S. must commit to embracing the globaleconomy and train its workforce to be competitive in the global marketplace.[5] Manyengineering programs are including global components in their curriculum to face thischallenge. The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) report Infusing Real WorldExperiences into Engineering Education [6] includes in its best practices multidisciplinaryteam-based projects, cultural awareness, and problem-solving.The importance of global education is
