Notwithstanding,the current general education curriculum in Taiwan still lacks engineering and humanitiesintegrated courses specifically designed for the College of Engineering, such as coursesrelated to engineering practice and corresponding cross-cultural socio-political systems. As aresult, students’ learning experiences are like a hodgepodge, lacking effectiveinterdisciplinary learning. Only a few engineering ethics courses are offered by professorsfrom the School of Engineering and School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, but theyface human resource, professional, and teaching bottlenecks.Universities in Korea started offering engineering and humanities integrated courses as partof engineering curricula or liberal education around 2000.

The implied educa-tional imperative is for a broader and deeper preparation of new engineers, and at the same time,of the practicing profession. The ASCE committee working on the second edition of the CivilEngineering Body of Knowledge has embraced sustainability as an independent technical out-come; and has set out specific levels of cognitive achievement required of all engineers prior tolicensure. Herein, we discuss the elements of a university program including the sustainable useof natural resources, sustainable infrastructure, sustainable production of goods and services

Many schools steer students who are not in astate-approved career and technology program and are unsuccessful taking a foreign languageinto the advanced technology education graduation option and choose to offer ATA which is notas rigorous as EngD to maximize their chances of success.

Based on the result of this survey, the five most important attributes of globalcompetences are that engineering graduates: 1. Can appreciate other cultures; 2. Are proficient working in or directing a team of ethnic and cultural diversity; 3. Are able to communicate across cultures; 4. Have had a chance to practice engineering in a global context, whether through an international internship, a service-learning opportunity; a virtual global engineering project
