Engineer Education Program Conducted by Japanese & US UniversitiesAbstractThe Kanazawa Institute of Technology (KIT), Japan, and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology(RHIT), USA, started international educational and research exchange activities in 1992. Sincethen, they have actively engaged in faculty and student exchange programs. However, these arebasically short-term, at most, one-year programs.In order to expand the international exchange activities further, the two institutions organized the“KIT-RHIT Joint Committee” in 2010. The committee members discussed the objectives andagreed that they should aim for developing a new scheme to foster global engineers together overa longer period of time. The new program, “Joint Global

educationAbstractA grand challenge in the global engineering community is the recruitment and retention ofstudents. Previous research in engineering education has shown that pre-college exposure toengineering plays an integral part in student self-selection of engineering as a course of study atthe university level. Presented in this work is an international program which seeks to attracttalented students through the use of NSF GK12 Engineering Visiting Fellows and cross-cultural,hands-on problem based design projects. In this two-year study, 5 separate projects are carriedout involving 690 students split between urban high schools in the United States and partnersecondary schools in Kenya. Quantitative and qualitative analysis is carried out using
