Fortunately, modern language study at MichiganTechnological University (hereafter MTU) is no longer a “vague notion.” Thecollaboration of modern language and engineering faculty has begun to acquire the toneof a more integrated pedagogy, one that would allow modern language and engineeringfaculty to more fully contribute to the mission of a technological university in the 21stcentury. This mission, as recently outlined by an MIT consortium of educators duringthe Colloquium on International Education held at the University of Rhode Island,November 2-5, 2006, is multi-focused: to strengthen international engineering educationwith emphasis on the global community

The Master’s International Program (MIP) at the University of South Florida is agraduate partnership with the U.S. Peace Corps that provides over two years of supervisedprofessional service and international research experiences that include specialized training inlanguage, culture, participatory planning, and sustainable development. The students gain aglobal perspective while performing research in an international context of economic, social, andenvironmental limitations. Using a survey tool with quantitative and qualitative metrics, thisstudy assessed

CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONSThe integrative approaches to engineering education outlined in this paper are designed toaddress the national need for an undergraduate engineering education that leads to moreinnovative and entrepreneurial engineering graduates, by a change in perspective. The integrativeapproach is key to meeting the need for more, and more innovative engineering graduates, andinvolves a shift from a self-contained (silo) mentality of engineering
course on the history of materials in orderto broaden participation.Background“Global competency” has become a buzzword in engineering education circles; everyone seemsto be talking about it. As technology knits distant parts of the world ever more closely together,the discussion within engineering education is part of a larger movement to create globallycompetent citizens [1]. Much effort has been expended to address what, exactly, is meant byglobal competency, why is it important, how it can be measured, and how it can be improved.By now, the importance of global competency for everyone, and engineers in particular [2,3], hasbeen well documented and evidence of the ability to work in an international, multi-culturalenvironment is valued by

requires today’s engineering graduates to be able to playmultiple roles in a project life cycle. More and more engineers are now deeply involved inproject management. Most of engineering graduates believe that their college educations do not Page 15.758.2fully prepare them to play such multiple roles with proper practical experience and soft skills.This leads to a new demand to include a new focus on development of soft skills, such ascommunication, in an existing engineering course and curriculum.2.

Many students drop outof engineering before even taking their first engineering course due to failing a prerequisitemathematics course. If the mathematics prerequisites fail so many engineering students, it isprudent to understand what exactly those students ought to be gaining by taking these courses.When asked what their students gain from the math course sequence, many engineering

Universities and the ProfessionAbstractEngineers are responsible for creative, innovative and adaptive designs that solve challengingtechnical problems and provide sustainable solutions. Professional skills (i.e. management,social/cultural appreciation, budgeting, communication and personal development) arerecognised by the profession as an integral part of an engineer’s formal education. However,most engineering programmes do not specifically teach these skill sets. We recognised the needto better prepare students for real-world engineering practice that demands innovation andprofessional skills as well as technical competence. We therefore developed a successful modelin which engineering students integrated technical information and professional
