The technical aspects of designing and implementing engineering projects provided me with real life experience and the chance to use the technical knowledge that I have gained in a classical engineering educational environment to make an impact on the lives of those less fortunate

We must mold our students to be entrepreneurs, andspirited international adventurers as well.” 3“What’s the relevance of globalization to you personally, and to your future in engineering? I cananswer that in one word: Everything. No matter what area of engineering you enter, your abilityto remain on the leading edge, and to progress in our organization, will depend largely on yourcapacity to connect and communicate globally.” 4Given the impact of globalization upon engineering, it is to be expected that more and moreengineering programs are sponsoring study abroad programs
