Thesefigures, in and of themselves, mandate that we do more to encourage an international experienceon the part of our own undergraduate engineering students. This is particularly important sincetechnology has been a (if not the) dominant driver for development in the United States bothfrom a technological as well as financial point of view. Information Technology specifically hasdramatically shrunk our world and made it a virtual work place with telecommuting and distancelearning. Multinational companies have become the rule and not the exception. Consequently,the impact of technology is felt both in a cultural and societal sense overall, especially in thepervasive

Bielefeldt [40] performed a detailed study of a related phenomenon: “sociallymotivated students leaving engineering at disproportionately higher rates,” a particular concernsince societal and caring motivations have gendered and ethnoracial variations. Bydecontextualizing engineering knowledge in the curriculum, engineering education pushes outstudents motivated to use engineering for social good.When students are encouraged to work on local or global community-based projects, their sense(reinforced by their educators) that social and cultural contexts are irrelevant to – or, at

A study of engineering studentsrevealed that despite their rather basic reading skills and minimal amount of time they allocatedfor reading textbooks, most of these students attributed importance of textbooks to their successin a course.8 Some research indicates that students find textbooks easier to read than primarysource material.10 Two recent studies of higher education students found a

In this form of writing, one is concernedwith the polished, final product.In this research, the polished, final product is not the type of writing used or recommendedbecause the intention is to use writing as a tool for learning math. To emphasize this use, thefocus is not on both the math and the English, as would be required for a formally writtendocument, because requiring students to master two competencies (i.e., math and English)reduces the total mental focus available for either

This way they have ownership, the ruleshave legitimacy, and their teammates will be policing them.
