Students do not seem to get real exposure to engineering- save thegeneral introductory course during the freshman year, until the second semester of the secondyear or even the third year. This runs opposite to present trend in North America, wherecomprehensive design exposure and foundation mathematics and science, in an engineeringcontext, are brought into the freshman year.Fourth, by and large, the integration and sequencing of the subject matter in most of the forty tofifty courses required for graduation, despite adherence to prerequisites, is either “hard to trace”or ill-defined.

A strong sense of “global engineeringidentity” can emerge when students are part of international teams that consider solutions tohumanitarian challenges [2], [3]. To encourage retention in engineering among undergraduateand graduate students from underrepresented groups, a multi-campus team of faculty andadministrators developed a plan to expose students to humanitarian engineering perspectiveswithin global contexts.

These include: international enrollment, international project, internationalwork placement, and international field trip. To date, the most significant challenge to themethods of international enrollment, international project, international work placement, andinternational field trip is to increase their sheer scale of participation.
