IntroductionThe global economy demands that engineers be able to successfully negotiate and understanddifferent cultures. The culture to which we have been exposing students, the Hispanic/Latinoculture, is aimed to maintain its importance with regard to U.S. interests throughout the 21 stcentury. As mentioned by Thomas Friedman in The World is Flat, international understanding ispivotal to the nation’s development and future expansion of the U.S. economy1 . Sixty-threepercent of the 150 executives polled chose Spanish as the most valuable second language 2 .According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, Hispanics currently comprise 13.7 percent ofthe nation’s total

availability of people with these skills is making it difficult for U. S, industries to compete in the international market. To function effectively in today’s technological society, contribute to its growth, reap its benefits, and minimize its hazards, knowledge of the technology is essential. This is true whether one is pursuing a career in business, economics, law, education, health care, mathematical, physical or social sciences, humanities or the arts. Academic institutions, particularly engineering schools, have the primary responsibility for producing new graduates in sufficient numbers and with adequate knowledge of science and technology and skill to meet the needs of the industry and the society.
