State University (LSU).LSU‘s annual High School Teacher Engineering Awareness Program (HSTEAP), a one-weekintensive professional development institute, aims to improve and support high school STEMeducation. This mixed-methods study measures the impact of this professional development formathematics and science teachers‘ efficacy in engineering, design-based learning, STEMresearch and technology, and their ability to teach those principles to their students. Programorganizers and curricula professionals developed an innovative curriculum thematicallyaddressing the National Academy of Engineering 21st Century Engineering Grand Challenges,and facilitated the HSTEAP community to: a) create and implement engineering design-basedprojects, b) identify

engineeringstudents to travel and to participate in service projects centered on international development.The club grew rapidly in membership and established relationships with a university in Peru aswell as an Andean community near Cuzco, Peru. This community has twice been the destinationof ISC students during summer trips. Although student interest in the program has been highbecause of its social, adventure and altruistic components, undertaking it as a university entityrequires justification from a student development standpoint. There are many venues throughwhich young travelers might make overseas excursions and engage in community service,however, students participating through a university would be expected to develop knowledgeand skills in the

of universities worldwide andcontinues to expand. Students, industry and university leadership experiences in adopting thisprogram in their undergraduate curricula as well as through their continuous educationfunctions will be shared. Finally, the authors describe and share outcomes of other HPprograms for universities that can help universities to develop the global engineer.IntroductionUniversities and industry have different missions and goals in society. Both build theirsuccess on developing people and generating new ideas that have a positive impact onsocieties and economies. Both universities and industry generate and transfer knowledge,continuously educate and develop their people, but they often do so in silos, isolated fromeach

Hence, it is critical to investigate thevarious ways that engineering students can obtain these important engineering outcomes.Scholars and national commissions have also noted the impact of globalization and the need forcontinued U.S. economic leadership 2-4. One result, engineering educators are rethinking theskills that graduates will need to function effectively with their international counterparts. Toengineering educators this implies ABET’s set of eleven accreditation outcomes should alsoinclude the ability to work cross-culturally, especially on the international playing field 5, 6.While the engineering student

statements that describe what graduates are expected to attain within a few years of graduation. Program educational objectives are based on the needs of the program’s constituencies.ABET also requires that the educational objectives must be published for an easy access to thepublic including students and stakeholders or constituents. The educational objectives must beconsistent with the mission of the institution, and the needs of the program’s variousconstituencies. There must be a documented and effective process, involving programconstituencies, for the periodic review and revision of these program educational objectives.The PEOs are broad statements of the accomplishments of graduates, not what they can do andtheir abilities. For examples

, Experience, and School18 summarizes much of this research. Chapters fromthis document served as another key piece of background reading at the beginning of our reformefforts. Evidenced-based concepts promoted include three core components that faculty areasked to consider when seeking to innovate classroom practices for impact. The first componentis the necessity of engaging students’ prior understandings. Traditional, lecture-basedapproaches to engineering education often view the instructor as the source of all knowledge,and students as the empty vessel into which this knowledge can be poured. The reality is that all Page 21.32.4students enter every

As can be seenfrom Table 1 below, many of the Student Outcomes stipulated by ABET have their parallels inparts of the Stage One Competencies. However, the Engineers Australia Stage OneCompetencies are a super-set of ABET’s Student Outcomes.
