Paper ID #11032Reaching Beyond Engineering to Achieve Best Practice in Global LearningDr. David DiBiasio, Worcester Polytechnic Institute David DiBiasio is Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering and Department Head of ChE at WPI. He received his ChE degrees from Purdue University, worked for the DuPont Co, and has been at WPI since 1980. His current interests are in educational research: the process of student learning, international engineering education, and educational assessment. Collaboration with two colleagues resulted in being awarded the 2001 William Corcoran Award from Chemical Engineering Education. He
Science and Engineering at the University of California, San Diego with broad areas of interest. He got his bachelor’s degree from the College of Engineering, Pune. While in COEP, Gautam was involved in a lot of activities including a CUBESAT mission. Gautam’s current research interests are systems and networking in addition to engineering education.Ms. Ayano OHSAKI, nnovation Center for Engineering Education, Tottori University Ayano OHSAKI is an assistant professor at the Innovation Center for Engineering Education, Tottori Uni- versity since 2012. She is in charge of development new engineering education program. The objectives of the program are improvement of creativity, collaboration skills and problem solving
shortages, depletionof energy resources, scarcity of materials, overpopulation, and poverty are no longer bounded bygeographic and cultural divides. Consequently, engineering education must rise to thechallenges of tomorrow and produce engineers and builders who possess the needed knowledge,skills, global perspective, and social awareness to succeed. This is a formidable challenge thateducational institutions are unlikely to be able to meet alone as the task goes beyond ensuringstudent technical competency. It must involve collaboration with global business partners,international institutions, and employers seeking engineering graduates.2.
