The study of balance problems necessitates a multidisciplinary approach involving expertisefrom fields such as physics, engineering, neuroscience, and rehabilitation sciences.In this paper, we present an overview of the human balance system, its sensors, and models, empha-sizing the complexity of the reflex system that processes input cues to maintain balance stability. Theinverted pendulum model is selected as the balance system model due to its simplicity and flexibilityfor implementation into more complex models. Outcomes of the co-creation experience in

policyaspects of international development. Rather than working from a common base of introductoryknowledge, this course requires students to share sophisticated knowledge in their discipline withothers from different backgrounds.Developed through a collaboration between an engineering professor and a sociologystudent/alumna, and taught by the engineering professor in the spring semester of 2003 and 2004,the course wrestles directly with the differences in perspective that create gulfs in understandingbetween social scientists and engineers, and between development workers and intendedbeneficiaries of development projects. Students grapple early on in the course with the promisesand limitations of technology for development, with the meanings of
international borders. Universities should prepare students for studyabroad, and eventual practice internationally, by encouraging appropriate study of foreignlanguages and cultures – and by providing sufficient flexibility in the engineeringcurriculum to allow an academic term or more to be spent at a school in another country.It was observed in discussion at the Congress that exchanges of students between equallydeveloped countries work best.Faculty exchanges between engineering schools in different countries are also valuable,giving faculty members perspective on the broad scope of engineering education in theWorld and providing them with the background to instill international perspectives intheir students.Ready international mobility of graduate

EducationIntercultural Competence (ICC) refers to the ability to communicate and collaborate effectivelyand appropriately in intercultural contexts [1] . It encompasses skills such as cultural awareness,sensitivity, adaptability, and the capacity to view cultural differences with an open andempathetic mindset [2]. In higher education, developing ICC is crucial to preparing students,faculty, and staff for success in a globalized world. Higher education institutions (HEIs) serve ashubs of cultural exchange, with diverse student populations and international collaborations.Embedding ICC into higher education curricula helps foster inclusivity, enrich learningexperiences, and prepare students to address global challenges [3], [4].

Although this research is a single-case study, it represents an important first step in gaining the perspectives we need to systematically design interdisciplinary graduate programming in a way that aligns with and capitalizes on the complex nature of various interdisciplinary graduate students’ development.

Adequate staffing, administrative support, studentengagement, international collaborations are required if these dramatic changes are to succeed.The program has moved from one full-time director with 3 part-time instructors and a fraction ofan admin to adding an Associate Director for Engineering Leadership Research, a full-timeadministrative support person, and posting a position for an Associate Director for EngineeringLeadership Outreach. Further, as the number of enrollments increases, full-time instructors willbe added.

Overseas InstitutionsMany well-established U.S. specialized/professional accreditation agencies have in recent yearsbeen offering international accreditation evaluations, and status, as appropriate: engineering,business, and soon teacher education. In each case, the move to offering full accreditation abroadhas reflected an evolutionary process on the part of the accrediting agency, often starting with aMemoranda of Understanding (MOU), then some sort of "substantial equivalency", then fullaccreditation. There are many issues involved in evaluating foreign institutions utilizing U.S.standards. This paper draws upon the experience of the author in quality assurance andaccreditation in the U.S. and abroad to explore such issues by examining

justice scholarship reframes the relationship betweenengineering and international development. Post-development critiques of engineering forinternational development spurred a reimagining of what engineering and bettering the world canmean [60]. In Engineering Justice, authors Leydens and Lucena reframe the normative criteria ofengineering for sustainable community development into thinking about community engagementthat leads to social justice [61], [57], [56]. The authors emphasize this criteria aimed to helpengineering practitioners and engineering educators that work towards authors’ Leydens andLucena definition of engineering for social justice: “engineering practices that strive to enhancehuman capabilities (end) through an equitable

To use 21st century educational jargon, Newman is thus concerned with the learningoutcomes of skills and competencies and not primarily with the content of what students learn.But where and how should students attain these skills within the walls of the 21st centuryuniversity and how should their attainment be measured?The 21st century world that we live in today is quite different than that of Newman’s 19thcentury.

Manyof them (about 80%) expressed the opinion that if the program were available when they hadtaken the CAD/CAM course that they would have had an enhanced learning experience in theuse of CNC programming. While these students had more of a “hindsight” perspective than thetarget group of students that would potentially be exposed to CNC programming for the firsttime, it was believed that their comments and suggestions carried enough weight to indicate that Page 8.55.3 Proceedings of the 2003 American Society for Engineering Education Annual
