The International Engineering Education SIG is the CMC sponsor ofthe Attributes of a Global Engineer Survey Project.The Attributes of a Global Engineer Survey Project grew out of an expressed need by CMCmembers to identify and validate specific knowledge, skills, abilities, and perspectives thatwould be required of an engineer living and working in an increasingly global context.Specifically, the goal was to refine a list of attributes that would be applicable to engineersregardless of specialty, location, or background.The process began in
study abroad. Thenation has drawn on human resources from abroad for its science and engineeringworkforce for numerous years. However, competition for educated engineers has grownas other countries have expanded their research potentials and created more opportunitiesattracting international students. The difficulty of obtaining student visas by internationalstudents has curbed the number of science and engineering students studying at USinstitutions.Based on a report by The National Academies, to maintain and extend its excellence inscience and engineering, the United States must recruit the most talented people forpositions in academia, industry, and government. In order to do this, the bestinternational talent must be sought, while
Education with a significantInternational Exchange component is not a simple task. It requires a realignment of institutionalresources, a conscientious effort to streamline the curricula and, most importantly, theinstitutional will to do it. An institution of higher education will shift its priorities to support aproject when a clear case can be made about the benefits that the same institution will derivefrom a successful completion of that project. In other words, the institution demands an answerto the question "What's in it for me?".Potential BenefitsThe following is a partial list of potential institutional benefits of an International ExchangeProgram of Engineering Education:1.

Our plan to accomplish this has several new educational opportunities forour students.The first opportunity is engineering service learning
addition,this program is designed to be manageable within our existing engineering degree programs whilerequiring global learning and international experiences beyond simply studying abroad. Studentswho satisfy the requirements will have "Global Engineering Perspectives Scholar" added to theirtranscript.The program requirements are: (a) demonstrate proficiency in a foreign language, (b) participatein an abroad experience, (c) complete a minimum of three courses designated by the university asglobal connections or foreign language, (d) complete a minimum of three engineering courses, and(e) submit a reflection assignment. The reflection assignment was based on the following prompt:“How did the completion of the requirements for this program enhance
