. Feedbackfrom course participants indicates that engineering students gain insights into the benefits ofholistic engineering for domestic and international clients. Alumni of the course who continueparticipating as mentors report that they feel better qualified to undertake their professionalresponsibilities because of their course experience in defining a problem, working with a multi-disciplinary team to seek an appropriate and sustainable solution, and developing the culturalawareness to view the challenge from the perspective of the target user rather than from theirown viewpoint.IntroductionEngineering education that is focused on providing service to the developing world has become aprolific trend on college campuses across the United States and

In most engineering schools, this task falls into the hands ofthe lab graduate teaching assistant. Not only is the lab teaching assistant often a new graduatestudent, but due to the current demographics of higher education in engineering in the U.S., s/heis also is likely to be an international student and a non-native speaker of English.

addition, several original participants inthe study have left their engineering programs. Finally, some of the respondents’ answers wereinvalid, as they did not pass the survey’s simple test for internal consistency. For example, inresponse to the prompt, “In general, I’m an experienced writer,” one EWI participant listedagreement (4); yet in response to the prompt, “In general, I’m an inexperienced writer,” the sameparticipant also listed agreement (4). The extent of these invalid responses surprised theresearchers, who found that every participant included at least one such response in his or hersurvey. This is why the 2006 survey results show “?” for the question of being an experiencedwriter. No such problems with internal consistency were

TheCMC has several Special Interest Groups (SIGs), which exist to share information and advancekey priorities of the CMC. The International Engineering Education SIG is the CMC sponsor ofthe Attributes of a Global Engineer Project. The Attributes of a Global Engineer Project grewout of an expressed need by CMC members to identify and validate specific knowledge, skills,abilities, and perspectives that would be required of an engineer living and working in anincreasingly global context. Specifically, the goal was to refine a list of attributes that would beapplicable to

Post docs who choose an academic career could bring new curriculum perspectives and approaches to engineering/science education as well as expand the research horizons by bringing new hard problem areas. Some post docs may embrace opportunities to transfer technology inventions into start-up businesses, and may start their own companies. In sum, these positions will provide key economic stability to participants while preparing them to further develop their careers and contribute to the economy in years to come.VI. Brief
