It is suggested thatAsia in general and Thailand in particular are becoming ever more important members of theglobal engineering education community and that opportunities for collaboration should not beoverlooked.IntroductionA penchant for science and engineering by Americans of Asian extraction has drawn attentionfor some time. It has been pointed out, for example, that minorities tend to be a much smallerproportion of scientists and engineers in the United States than they are in the total U.S.population. Asians, however, in 1997 comprised 10 percent of scientists and engineers in theUnited States although they were only 4 percent of the U.S. population.1 Students from Asiancountries tend to dominate the rest of the world on
