effectiveness of the program, the agenda for the upcoming 2013experience has been adjusted to focus less time in the formal classroom environment, and moretime in the field. However, rather than exclusively focusing the field time on construction, theconcepts presented at the beginning of the class (1) history and economics of development andunderdevelopment in Latin America, 2) social capital, 3) the ethical foundation of internationalassistance, and 4) the role of technology in development will be revisited through groupdiscussion and reflection activities.Works Cited[1] A.

concern is evident 7.Engineering programs have recognized that they must produce globally competent graduateswho, by working cross culturally, and beyond national boundaries can effectively identifyopportunities, understand market forces, and successfully commercialize new technologies. Thiscall has come from professional organizations including the National Academy of Engineering(NAE) and its widely quoted The Engineer of 2020, the American Society of EngineeringEducation and the American Society for Mechanical Engineers 8, 9. As a result, a small, butgrowing number of engineering programs now imbed international experiences in their curricula.There is a second concern: Can these graduates become world citizens? Engineers mustunderstand that in
