Direct measures including student exit interviews,indirect student measures as well as anecdotal evidence and assessment data such as employersurveys clearly shows that the study-abroad experience is significant to all stakeholders.Employers get quality employees with the cultural awareness and the needed understanding ofthe global dimensions of their future profession. The impacts of administrative, timemanagement, and policy decisions on the

In this article, we describe the activities of the PACE Global Team 2 onthe 2010-2012 sustainable urban transport (SUT) Global Project. Students from six universitiesin four countries worked closely together and designed a production ready SUT. The PACEProgram provided a broad outline for the SUT project at the beginning of the

work in aglobal context. An online survey was launched to validate the performance and proficiencylevels of each attribute, including the stages at which attributes were essential to the preparation,performance, and employability of global engineers. Educators, employers, students, andprofessional engineers throughout the global engineering community were invited to participatein the survey. To promote input and obtain feedback from the largest possible global engineeringaudience, ASEE collaborated with the International Federation of Engineering EducationSocieties (IFEES) to make the survey available in several languages. Furthermore, we haveconducted focus groups with international stakeholders to help translate the attributes intodefined
