communication and teamwork skills.ABET therefore now proposes improvement for the knowledge, skills and professional values for thegraduating students. In addition, analysis of the industry studies, together with the review of theABET accreditation criteria and study of engineering education reveals that the industryemployers and the students are looking for significant changes to the current philosophy anddelivery of engineering education [5]. These issues can be summarized as follows: 1. Engineering curricula does not provide sufficient integration of engineering science and technical topics to industrial practices. 2. Programs at times do not provide sufficient design experiences to students. 3. Graduates lack communication skills as well

value of this collaboration experience is generally positive, butadditional enhancement opportunities exist. We hypothesize that we can improve team performance ifstudents learn to understand the ways in which the culture and worldviews of the team members affectthe team’s decision-making and performance. In fact, when cultural accommodation does not take placeone might expect worse team performance in a mixed culture team. This would produce a U shape or“bath tub” performance curve when both cases are included - lots of bad and lots of good results, and notmuch in the middle. This means students must first understand their own cultural orientation andworldview and how representative it is of their home country, then achieve a similar

Once the session begins, the presenter and students have access to an on-line whiteboard, real-time voice, video, and text transmission, and a number of single-clickindicators that students can use to simulate actions in a classroom, such as raising one’s hand,answering yes or no, and being in agreement or disagreement (figure 1).

ABETresponded to the needs of industry and, in 1996, the Engineering Accreditation Commissionapproved the student learning outcomes for the Engineering Criteria 2000. The eleven studentoutcomes, commonly referred to as “a thru k”, are comprised of six technical skills and fiveprofessional skills 2. The National Academy of Engineering developed a similar list of attributesfor engineers that included additional skills such as leadership and creativity3. Thus, the 21stcentury engineer should be someone with a sound understanding of engineering fundamentals,have a systems approach to engineering design and problem solving, a natural

IntroductionThe broader frameworks of globalization, economics, as well as environmental and societalperspectives are becoming increasingly more essential to the education of engineering students.The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) report “The Engineer of 2020” calls forfundamental change in the structure and practices of engineering education, urging “theengineering profession to recognize what engineers can build for the future through a wide rangeof leadership roles in industry, government, and academia not just through technical jobs”1.ABET accreditation criteria also call for a

Since the early 1990’s CEC has continuously expanded its internalizationemphasis for its students. This internationalization program is multi-faceted in itsimplementation and in its impacts on many people. In addition to a general education of culturalawareness and respect, internationalization is important to CEC’s industrial partners and tofuture civil engineers/constructors who are being educated to take leadership roles to tackleglobal challenges and projects.6.
