A more childlike student may be able to solve engineering problems with propertraining and education, but may be less likely to identify that a problem existed in the first place. Finally, outcome (i) has perhaps the greatest link to the tenets of andragogy when itdescribes “a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.”7 Clearly,a graduate who has achieved outcome (i) has not only the requisite skills to teach him or herself,but has moved beyond goal-oriented learning and toward a learning-oriented approach.

Means to accomplish this goal not only include implementing exchange relationships with otheruniversities and implementing global perspective learning outcomes in the general curriculum but also modifyingthe university calendar to create a field experience term.Whether just beginning or continuing to develop a global education program, educators should not lose sight of whatthey want students to get out of the experience. The goal of global education may be termed by some as “a globalperspective” [9], “cultural sensitivity” [6], or “inter-cultural communications and understanding” [8]. Milton J.Bennett terms it “intercultural sensitivity” [10]. In a reader for multicultural education, Bennett outlines six

This curriculum helps change the mindset and foster creativity inthe next generation of engineers who will be tasked with solving the problems of the future. Thispaper will explain the course in greater detail, and how its approach differs from conventionalengineering education. It will provide perspectives from students of different disciplines who havetaken the course, co-instructed in the course, and are currently applying their changed mindset totheir research and jobs.IntroductionTeaching the next generation of engineering students to solve problems
societal context (i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning (j) a knowledge of contemporary issuesLiberal education is also directly relevant to ABET's requirement that students be prepared todeal with “economic; environmental; sustainability; manufacturability; ethical; health and safety;social; and political" issues when they finish their final design course and prepare to enterpractice (Criteria 2000). Accordingly, it can reasonably be concluded that a commitment to LEis essential for meeting ABET's new standards and assessment procedures.Criteria 2000 does not, however, specify how the new requirements should be met.
