Page 20.13.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Education Without Borders: Exploring the Achievement of ABET Learning Outcomes through Engineers Without Borders-USAIntroductionEngineers of the future will be expected to obtain more skills, knowledge, and abilities in theireducation than ever before. Reports continue to expand lists of expected skills to include notonly technical skills, but also professional, management, leadership, interdisciplinary, and globalskills (e.g 1–4). At the same time, undergraduate engineering programs are hard-pressed to fitadditional credits in already overcrowded curricula. Within these constraints, extracurricularengineering activities have alleviated

year and rate them using an internallygenerated evaluation form, with rubrics and calibration. Included in that evaluation are theappropriate ABET criteria including the difficult criteria: global/societal impacts, communicationskills, contemporary issues, and life-long learning. Global project results historically alwaysachieve higher ratings than on-campus projects. A typical result is shown in Table 1 for the non-technical abilities that may be problematic to achieve in traditional coursework.

LearningAbstractMichigan Technological University’s Pavlis Institute for Global Technological Leadership wasinitiated in 2005 to provide MTU students with international leadership skills throughcoursework and a student-led intensive international experience. The Pavlis certificate programrequires 25 semester hours of coursework with 13 semesters in the summer (nine hours areallocated to the five week in country experience) between the student’s junior and senior years.The additional hours are focused on preparing them to lead, work, and communicate effectivelywith one another and with their in-country contacts. The major differences between the Pavlisprogram and other intensive programs that prepare global engineers are threefold: 1. The Pavlis teams (typically

The instrument wasdeveloped by the Georgia Tech Office of Assessment and uses an externally validated General Self-Efficacy Scale to assess an individual’s ability to cope with stressful life events.30 We selected thisinstrument as one of the assessment tools for NanoJapan because it is specific to technicalinternships and allows comparison with a referent group of

al.3 have studied 369 papers in 6 leading journals and found thatSoftware Engineering research is fundamentally about technical and computing-focused issues and that itis seldom about behavioral issues. In industry, discussion about the people dimension is generally limitedto training for the new processes and technologies4. Since the approach has not accrued any perceptiblegains in productivity5, we believe that there is a case for exploring the people dimension deeply andearnestly.The major contribution of this paper is to put forth an instrument to measure egoless behavior asadvocated by Weinberger. In the paper, we are using contemporary terms like egoless engineering anddevelopment or general terms like egoless behavior to mean the same
