Engineering Education, 2008 Summer Research Program for Meaningful International ExperienceAbstract An important aspect of engineering education in the 21st century must include thebuilding of international awareness. A practical and highly impactful way for engineeringinstitutions to foster this awareness is to provide international research programs andencourage students to take part in them, for experiences that are meaningful bothacademically and socially, and that will prove to be invaluable to them as workingprofessionals. With the “flattening” of the world – or the increased competition in theglobal marketplace due to advancements in web technology – it is of great value forengineering students to learn about other cultures

One of the most significant of these challenges is the need to work within theframework of integrated project delivery where all disciplines work as a cohesive team toproduce a project. In 2004, the Construction Management Department at California PolytechnicState University in San Luis Obispo,CA began teaching a three credit hour design/build coursefocused on integrated project delivery. That course, taught primarily to construction managementstudents, has now evolved into a true interdisciplinary experience that

Thus, the actual so-called “Post-Industrial Society” is the Information Society,whose fundamentals are Information Science and Information Technology. In this paper, anattempt is made to outline the epistemological1 approach of information concept withindifferent disciplines as well as the need of a general higher education in Information Science.Problem solving, decision-making and paperwork reducing are some of most frequentinformation processes currently involving engineers and managers in multi-disciplinaryteams
