their equivalencies were poorlyunderstood across Europe. Hence jobseekers were challenged to demonstrate their qualificationswhen seeking employment in another European country. An early effort to overcome thisproblem was the development of the European Engineer title. Each national engineering societywas responsible for issuing this title based on a combination of education from that country andcertain years of practice—very similar to the concept of an international driver’s license.However, this only covered engineering, and it has never been widely accepted even there.Discussions on how to harmonize European higher education accelerated in 1997 with a Frenchfor-instance that Europe move towards the British system of a three-year technical

There is consensus among researchers that in the context of globalization the U.S.engineering programs either adapt their curricula to meet the expectations of the globalworkforce or take the risk of becoming irrelevant [1].

However, it has two limitations: low participation of engineeringstudents and effectiveness in providing global perspective. The low participation is because onlyfew students can afford to have a study-abroad experience. Despite the growing awareness of thebenefits of study-abroad by students, the challenges preventing students from studying abroadare numerous and complex [5].

Globalization is not a passingphenomenon as it continues to impact how interconnected and interdependent we have become.Global competence or a strong interest in becoming globally competent has become adifferentiator in an engineer’s ability to obtain employment, to progress in a career, and toremain viable in the future [1].Engineering and technology graduates must now not only develop strong technical skills butmust also develop their leadership and global agility to remain relevant within their career. As aresult, engineering and technology educators need to identify, develop and provide opportunitiesfor international collaboration and interactions among students throughout the world.In
