made.A total of 28 exceptional students (15 from Poli-USP and 13 from Harvard) participated in the2013 Course. While the majority of the students were undergraduates, the group included twoPh.D. candidates as well as a Master’s student from Harvard’s Graduate School of Design. The15 Poli-USP participants were studying Environmental Engineering, Electrical Engineering, andArchitecture, Urbanism & Civil Engineering. Harvard students were pursuing degrees inEnvironmental Sciences & Engineering, Biomedical Engineering & Computer Science,Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering & Material Science. The group was diversein terms of nationalities as well, with students representing Belgium, China, Colombia, Italy,Nigeria

shortages, depletionof energy resources, scarcity of materials, overpopulation, and poverty are no longer bounded bygeographic and cultural divides. Consequently, engineering education must rise to thechallenges of tomorrow and produce engineers and builders who possess the needed knowledge,skills, global perspective, and social awareness to succeed. This is a formidable challenge thateducational institutions are unlikely to be able to meet alone as the task goes beyond ensuringstudent technical competency. It must involve collaboration with global business partners,international institutions, and employers seeking engineering graduates.2.

national urgency of better preparing our engineering graduates for globalpractice [6][7][8][2][9], it is surprising how little progress has towards this goal has been madeon a broad national level. Some institutions have introduced initiatives to incorporate basicexposure to global perspectives into a broad range of undergraduate programs, usually throughsome combination of on-campus international activities, special courses, or augmentation ofregular course materials to incorporate global themes. At Northern Arizona University, forexample, our campus-wide Global Learning Initiative [10] engages faculty from all disciplines toensure that all students have multiple, substantive encounters with global perspectives throughspecial curricular elements
