Is it not uncommon for engineers to work on multi-nationalteams designing products which will be manufactured in one part of the world (e.g. Asia) to besold in another part of the world (e.g. Europe and North America). As chronicled in ThomasFriedman’s best selling book, The World is Flat1, the advances made by engineers andtechnologists have made it possible for their work to be done nearly anywhere. Engineers,therefore, need to have a broad understanding of other cultures and

If it is well established that howstudents view learning will influence the way they go about learning, then how commonly isstudents’ conception of learning reflected in engineering curricular designs? If “educationalinnovation projects, attempting to change teachers’ strategies, can only be successful whenteachers’ intentions and conceptions are taken into account 6,” how readily are engineeringinstructors’ fully formed conceptual frameworks or ideals of teaching taken into account? Ifstudy progress and better performance have been clearly linked to some form of serialprogramming in

computerscience department at Colorado State University for many years. Together they had abroad range of experiences. Interestingly, the first author who graduated from hisundergraduate engineering program nearly twenty years earlier than the second author,had significantly more credits in both mathematics and physics than the second author.This probably resulted from the educational push to include more design courses in theundergraduate engineering program as well as an overall decrease in credits required forgraduation over the intervening twenty years.In many ways the courses that have made up the science fundamentals and evenmathematics courses required during the first two years of an engineering undergraduateprogram have remained unchanged for
