technical and leadership competencies. The experts concluded: Leaders needto be systems thinkers; all engineers need some education and training in systems engineeringknowledge and skills; and all systems engineers need to be well versed in a broad set of socio-technical and leadership skills, serving as a central, multi-disciplinary focal point for systemsdevelopment with stakeholders from all walks of life. With this as the backdrop, this paperaddresses three separate research efforts focused on advancing undergraduate engineeringeducation and integrates the findings into a proposed pathway to systems education for the globalengineer.Characteristics of Global EngineersIn 2008, the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) in collaboration

atShantou University. In an effort to bolster inter-cultural understanding, a week-long project-based learning experience involving the 33 UCalgary students and an equal number of STUstudents was planned. This collaboration was enhanced by the participation of both universitiesin CDIO (Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate), an international engineering education reforminitiative. The project-based learning collaboration proved to be a success in interculturalexchange3, inspiring the program architects to pursue a formal, for-credit collaboration.In February 2010, one of the authors of this paper became the Chair in Engineering EducationInnovation at UCalgary.

Thismay lower the interest and engagement for students and leave them less prepared if they do2pursue an engineering career path later on (Fralick et al., 2009; Knight & Cunningham,2004).There were a few studies, mostly at the level of higher education, which investigated thebenefits of study abroad collaborative engineering programs (Streiner et al., 2015). Thestudents who participated in these studies acquired a greater understanding of the currentissues that engineers face in a global and social context (Jesiek et al., 2014). However, itmay be unrealistic and financially difficult for K-12 students to study abroad andexperience the benefits of international learning

. Carmen of UAH and B. Groenewald of CPUT had already been involved inlong-standing efforts to promote STEM education within their respective nations6, beforemeeting in 2011 at an international conference. Upon meeting, both educators decided that aninternational collaborative effort would not only promote STEM in the US and South Africa, butalso enable students at UAH and CPUT to garner invaluable international design experience. Asa result, the ALLIES partnership commenced in 2012.BackgroundThe ALLIES partnership was initiated in order to provide undergraduate engineering students theopportunity to engage in an international design effort. In order to address the need to promoteSTEM education and careers among K-12 students, the ALLIES design
oral communication and calculus III. These courses are chosen because it fulfills the degree requirements for all TTU engineering and computer science students. In Paris, students will stay in shared apartments for six weeks with CEA coordinating all onsite program logistics. This is the first year the IEP office has ran this program and there are 11 TTU engineering students participating in this program. In the future, the CEA program will be modified so that TTU can collaborate with other U.S. Higher Education Institutions and make this program open to students outside of TTU. This will help generate more student participation, as well as, become more cost effective. TTU is also expanding into a semesterlong program at this location. In
engineering ethics, how can that benefit be understood from the more general standpoint of the purposes of science and engineering ethics per se? It is now widely understood that contemporary science and engineering are increasingly international and collaborative. These complex practices are subject to difficulties introduced by differences in languages, cultures, social norms, education, religion, political systems, laws, resource and infrastructure availability, and other factors. Despite these variations, there is an important common factor in the production of scientific and engineering knowledge: it is not just descriptive, explanatory, and predictive
