above letter, the US Department of Commerce conducted a series ofinterviews with institutions across the nation in an effort to understand howuniversities are nurturing and promoting innovation/entrepreneurship and publishedthe “The Innovative and Entrepreneurial University; Higher Education, Innovation &Entrepreneurship in Focus” (2). While there is significant research on innovation andentrepreneurship within the formal curriculum (3, 4) there is less focus on extra-curricular programs. Authors believe informal programs offer a great opportunity toengage engineering students in activities promoting innovation and entrepreneurshipas it has been shown by the impact of Innovation Challenges on the development ofinnovative skills (5).

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

The curriculum paradigm that the structuralemphasis is most important to the success of the graduates in the workplace was not supportedby the survey results. The concept that environmental specialties needed to be increased was notsupported either.
