Results showed that a large proportion of both incoming and senior students havehad international experiences. While seniors perceived themselves to be more globally ready, first-year students rated themselves more highly on items relating to the professional importance ofglobal readiness. Senior students felt that interacting with international students in their coursesmost strongly impacted their global readiness. Students who studied or worked abroad hadstronger perceptions of their global readiness and more positive cultural dispositions. Implicationsof the results for engineering education are discussed.IntroductionIn the
