More than250,000 students in forty-one countries participated in the assessment. On themathematics scale, the United States ranked twenty-fifth; on the science scale, the UnitedStates ranked twentieth; and on the reading performance scale, the United States rankedtwelfth. Other educational indicators are equally alarming. Nearly

It isone of the first programs to integrate international study with internships and a multi-nationaldesign team project. The program involves partner universities in India, China, Germany andMexico. The program is an exchange program. Students apply while freshmen. They areadmitted through a relatively extensive screening process which includes criteria such asacademic qualifications, language skills, leadership skills, ability to represent Purdue well, etc.29During the sophomore year, students study German or Chinese.

An aspirational goal of this program is that each engineeringstudent will have at least one study and/or research abroad experience before graduation. Furtherthere is need for adaptation of an assessment instrument to evaluate the global skills the studentsdevelop because of these international research experiences. Several instruments are beingconsidered, such as, Beliefs, Events, and Values Inventory (BEVI), Global Perspective Inventory(GPI) and Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI). 8References1. ASEE.

.2• Absence of Inter- and Multi-disciplinarity: The lamented present lack of inter- and multi-disciplinarity in school curricula continues into many engineering studies: there are no multidisciplinary contexts, broad views or historical references. The rather broad interest of women is directly opposed by a unilateral, outmoded learning/training program which is not only unattractive to women, but also bypasses an actual demand of modern education: the complexity of the global market, the social reference, economical objectives as well as the ecological boundaries call for more comprehensive and integrated thought and action, which has to be mirrored in interdisciplinary approaches.• Disregard of “Social Skills

. Globalism and Travel: The “globalism” of engineering and engineering education has escalated recently 9. For example, many American professional engineering and science societies now occasionally hold conferences overseas, or are co-participants in such. Matriculation agreements between American and foreign universities are on the rise, and American universities solicit international students, and send American students overseas on exchange programs. Journals increasingly have an international set of authors, editors, and readers. There are benefits to these, because the world continues to get smaller in all fields including politics, economics, the environment, and entertainment. Obviously
