IntroductionIn the last decade, there has been a significant increase of the number of community engagementprograms and a growth in research on these programs. As a result of this upsurge, newpublication venues have also been established, including the International Journal of ServiceLearning in Engineering (IJSLE) founded in 20041, and the new ASEE Community Engagementdivision founded in 2013.2 Related research has primarily focused on students, with particularemphasis on knowledge and skills; attitudes and identities; recruitment, retention, and diversity;and professional

Study abroad experiences are often accomplished throughshort- or long-term sojourns, or bilateral exchange of students between universities. Someschools also offer global engineering courses that emphasize historical and cultural themes,sometimes through engagement with guest speakers.3 Service projects with global dimensionsare another prevalent program format. These program options vary according to factors such asduration, language requirements, context of work, extent of interactions with natives of the hostcountry, and

He found that his engineering designknowledge did not carry over to his new national context.Thirdly, some participants used the assumption that engineering knowledge is the same in everycountry and across time as a centrally justifying element in their personal epistemologies. Theywould acknowledge the apparent value of more sophisticated beliefs about knowledge, butargued that, based on the international commonality of engineering knowledge, sufficientlytechnical knowledge is “just true” and does not change across contexts.

Inrecent years there has been a significant increase in the number of engineering-specificinternational programs reflecting the increasing globalization of the engineering enterprise.As engineering educators one might ask if engineering students learn differently on study abroadprograms than do students in other majors? And, if so, what implication does this have indeveloping and conducting these programs? The field of international education has, for sometime, sought to find ways to adequately assess international programs [3].

This paper describes progress in a cross-sectional, longitudinal study to examine the impact that a College of Engineering at a large, mid-Atlantic public institution has on students’ global readiness and related constructs. Data werecollected from first-year and senior undergraduate engineering students for two years (2012-2013and 2013-2014). Research questions examined: 1) previous international experiences of incomingstudents, 2) international experiences that undergraduates have during their academic careers, 3)students’ perceived value of global readiness, 4) activities students perceive to be

For example, oneparticular case study in Gary Downey’s book highlighted the challenges inimplementation of a program to connect student engineers with underserved communitiesin an international setting. Differences in culture and language coupled with thegeographical distance compounded made the project untenable and it had to stop. Someof the reasons she cited included that “the large body of knowledge in the developmentarea was not readily accessible or available to engineers,” and students did not activelyseek out the ethical and social understanding necessary

Various curricular and non-curricularapproaches have been implemented in engineering programs in the U.S. for the specific need ofteaching and exposing engineering students to global engineering challenges.1,4An important question to consider when developing, implementing, or evaluating anyeducational approach to teaching global competence is what it means to be a globally competentengineer.
