thirty years, China has developed more and more quickly than any society in humanhistory. Recently, however, government policies have shifted from a primary concern withbreak-neck development to one where public safety is of increasing concern.4 Insofar asengineering is involved in all facets of modern life, here engineers play a significant role: toinsure public safety, it is important that engineers in China engage in ethical practices.At present, courses that deal with the ethical, social, and political dimensions of engineering arenot a central feature of engineering curricula throughout China. Notable exceptions include theUniversity of Michigan-Shanghai Jiao Tong Joint Institute, which requires that upperclassmancomplete a course called

Nowadays, inmany embedded systems, software portion is always expected to have the greater impact on thebehavior of entire systems. Therefore, educators continue to face great challenges in gettingstudents to be capable of conducting efficient software development.

Special research programshave been developed for both undergraduate and graduate students as part of this model. Inaddition, new elective courses were drafted and aimed at teaching the students the fundamentalsbehind the applied experiences they gained in the research programs. Furthermore, our study willdiscuss the potential for incorporating such a model as part of the curriculum of the engineeringprogram to prepare the future engineers who will be leading technology development andoperation in a different setup from the previous generations.2.

programs.Students may graduate with a strong grasp of the technical knowledge necessary to pursue acareer in engineering, but little awareness of how engineering projects impact the social fabric ofthe community in which they are erected. Many students, too, enter engineering, technology,and construction programs with little knowledge of the global applications their degrees canoffer. The Global Solutions curriculum at Indiana University Purdue University of Indianapolis(IUPUI) is designed to expand student outlooks by bringing together students of variousacademic and cultural backgrounds in a multidisciplinary program that explores not only thetechnical solutions to global development issues, but the social and cultural context in whichsuch solutions must
Global Engineering Competencies and CasesWhether working on multi-national project teams, navigating geographically dispersed supplychains, or engaging customers and clients abroad, engineering graduates encounter worlds ofprofessional practice that are increasingly global in character. This new reality poses challengesfor engineering educators and employers, who are faced with the formidable task of preparingengineers to be more effective in diverse global contexts. In response, more global learningopportunities are being made available to engineering students, as reflected in gradual yet steadyincreases in the number of global engineering programs and participating students.1 Manycompanies are also offering professional development

However, we suggest that for developing countries, as well as for therapidly developing economies (such as the UAE economy), global competency should requiresomewhat standardized “global lab curriculum” in the discipline-specific laboratory skills, inaddition to the requisite “soft skills” suggested by others2,3. Furthermore, we suggest that fordeveloping countries, and rapidly developing economies, we need to introduce empiricalapproach when it comes to estimating the level of global engineering competency. To this end,we find the approach by Y. Li6 very illuminating and we plan on developing a laboratory-themedassessment tool that would augment the predominantly soft skills criteria outlined in the

Among these are increased awareness of the global nature of the engineering enterprise. The UK Royal Academy of Engineering report1 also identifies the need to address the increasingly global nature of the engineering profession, however, focuses more on the specific challenges facing UK universities. Another recent initiative in the area is the “Attributes of a Global Engineer” project directed by Hundley et al.11Our work in this area commenced as a collaboration between Grand Valley State University in Michigan, USA and Uppsala

The very nature of nanotechnologyallows for courses in most colleges and departments and thus requires the material to beemphasized to align with the department offering the courses. The instructor andstudents must have basic understandings in math, physics, chemistry, biology andengineering. These can be required as prerequisites; however a

Environmental Design, places an emphasis on design integration, professional andindustry education, and market transformation – both in products and design techniques. Thequestion at hand is how to prepare construction and engineering students for what is quicklybecoming the norm for construction in the United States. Previous research has discussedintegration of curriculum and has found there are no existing standards in place. This study findsthat when sustainability is viewed more in the light of integrated high performance design anddelivery than course development it is more a function of integration than revision. Nocomparative outcome of success was measured. As sustainable construction continues toincrease its market share in the commercial

typical classroom setting, Model-Based Design is not formallytaught in the conventional undergraduate curriculum. Students are indeed exposed to buildingmodels as part of a typical control design curriculum; however, the emphasis of such courses isnot on teaching the rationale behind and fundamentals of adopting Model-Based Design andapplying it to engineering systems. Students learn about pieces of subsystem development,focusing on specific bits of the whole without appreciating the impact a piece or subsystem canhave on the total system.To date, academics have preferred to introduce an understanding and mastery of the “buildingblocks” before putting them into context. As a result, engineering graduates entering theworkforce must negotiate a
