The Attributes of aGlobal Engineer Project’s principal goal is to “Enhance the employability of engineeringgraduates and increase the international competitiveness of ASEE’s corporate members, so thatengineers can effectively live, work, and perform anywhere in the world.” (Diane Matt, ChairASEE-CMC, 2014)Initial Attribute Development and RefinementThe process of initially developing the Attributes of a Global Engineer began in 2008, led by theInternational Engineering Education Special Interest Group (SIG), and involved CMC membersdeveloping a list of competencies derived from representative job descriptions, literaturereviews, and other reports. This initial list was consolidated through

This mission is accomplished through innovative knowledge-based programs in STEM areas with an emphasis on interdisciplinary col- laboration.

The framework can be applied to not only Japan, but to other counties forgreater understanding for teaching and learning globally.IntroductionTrends in globalization and demographics are leading to the call for international engineeringeducators who are able to gain a cross-cultural knowledge of their students, institutions, andhost countries. This is important for not only developing countries, but also developedcountries such as Japan and the U.S. whose demographic trends are yielding increasinglyolder populations. Globalization and innovation play key roles for both
Page 19.6.5 Figure 3: Q&A interactions occurred on the Piazza System2.3 Pedagogy of Inverted, Interactive and International LearningAbove all, the inverted learning process goes beyond the popular flipped classroom approach [2-5]. In a typical flipped class, the instructor assigns preview materials to students based on whatshe/he thinks they need to learn. Students complete the homework before schoolwork begins;then the instructor goes through key materials during the class time with a mixture of lecturesand/or exercises. The homework and schoolwork materials are same/similar in nature and aremostly based on what the instructor thinks students need to learn. With inverted learning, theinstructor first assigns pre-class study
Mexican graduate students in United States’universities are twofold: first, the language barrier with students not meeting TOEFL and GRErequirements and second, the lack of contact with faculty members at host universities. The pilotprogram consisted of 50 students selected by CANIETI and the two states, Yucatan and Page 19.19.2Zacatecas. Those students were enrolled in intensive English classes in the morning, a GREworkshop twice a week in the afternoon, and engaged in research under the supervision of afaculty member in the afternoon. This pilot program went beyond traditional marketing effortsby allowing faculty members and students the
United States, and other countries, tocollective action toward fostering practices for the diversification of engineering. In twointerrelated sections, this paper 1) reviews the educational component and 2) shares the resultingoutcomes and recommendations of this session. The first section summarizes the framing of theissue through literature and data on diversity and inclusion, followed by a description of aninteractive training on explicit and implicit biases at the session. Section two is action-orientedand builds upon the educational awareness and training as outlined in section one. This secondsection describes our novel use of Structure-Behavior-Function (SBF), an approach from systemsengineering, as an empowering tool that leaders can
Space workforce, or ALLIES. Initially, the ALLIESpartnership was centered within engineering design classes at CPUT and UAH. Engineeringdesign tools and methodologies were shared as well as the establishment of a focus upon thedesign and development of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) toolscreated by the CPUT and UAH engineering students. The STEM tools are intended to providekindergarten-through-grade-twelve (K-12) students, both in the United Sates (US) and SouthAfrica, an intuitive, hands-on learning experience in order to encourage the younger students topursue a STEM education and, ultimately, a STEM career. During the design process, theengineering design students visit the K-12 schools in order to incorporate the

These private universities through these collaborations are looking for some kind ofrecognition and hoping to gain a competitive advantage among the perspective students and theirparents. In some cases it is also possible that individual research group, in order to seek visibilityon the science and technology scene internationally, also have international collaboration at thegroup level.International collaborations also include few additional factors, which may not be important toconsider for local collaboration, namely historical and socio-cultural traditions. These factorssometimes play very critical role in the success and sustainability of such
consistent evidence that all countries are concerned about work preparation andprovide “hands on experience” during training through internships, practicum, orapprenticeships.Using a blend of survey and interview data, we will investigate the role thatco-ops and internships play on enhancing URM students' learning inengineering in two primary areas (i.e., professional competencies, problemsolving) as well as their professional identity. Survey data were collectedusing an online, web-based survey administered to URM engineering majorsat predominantly White institutions in the southeast and Midwest regions ofthe country. Interview data were collected using a semi-structured protocolthat asked questions about the nature of the co-op or internship
anthropology of science and engineering mentioned earlier. But our goals go beyond description. Our larger aspiration is that the collection and publication of such materials can aid in a critical enterprise—one through which conventions and norms are deliberately and continually subject to challenge and refinement. In both cases—as description and as critical enterprise—the international supplement is intended to support pedagogic goals of breadth, balance, and the consideration of foreign perspectives in developing courses, syllabi, and instructional materials. In thinking about ethics, many non-‐specialists will select from a variety of collections
systems will be used, and thechallenges faced by the development, production, deployment, and support teams involved intheir creation and sustainment. To build a pathway to systems focused education, thefoundations of systems knowledge and skills should be instilled in engineering students early intheir education, starting with systems thinking in K-12 and building on more advanced systemconcepts through undergraduate education and beyond. This paper describes how societal needscombined with global trends produce systems challenges that must be addressed by engineerswho are systems thinkers. After analyzing three separate undergraduate engineering educationresearch efforts in process, the authors propose a pathway to support engineering education
