governments and private entrepreneurs areinvesting in tertiary institutions in Africa focusing on Science, Technology, Engineering andMath (STEM) to provide the needed highly trained personnel to support and sustain economicdevelopment and growth. The core competencies and behaviors to be cultivated in theseinstitutions are what STEM educators worldwide deem crucial for economic competitiveness andjob creation. These include, according to the US National Academies Report, The Engineer of2020—Visions of Engineering in the New Century (http://bit.ly/Y7qwK5): oral and writtencommunications, critical thinking, analytical and innovative problem solving, practicalingenuity, creativity, agility, team work, and an appreciation for life-long learning

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

effectively. After all, is this not the way weapproach our project work? In order to align learning activities with the desired intentions itis vital to ensure that the assessment measures are also allied to the learning intentions. Whatget measured gets done. If we are to develop global project engineering programmes using astrategic approach, as programme designers we must be very clear about what we expect tobe learnt and then institute strategies to certify its achievement. However, as educationalist,we know there is a hierarchy of learning development that suggests progression from theacquisition of knowledge through skill development into application in practice.From the reviewed literature, curriculum development and revision theories have

? In his book “Collaborate!”,Sanker2 discussed and showed that collaboration is “doable and critical to success”. Baker-Doyle3 described how teachers (especially new ones) can develop their Intentional ProfessionalNetworks for support. Research by Stump et al.4 indicated that collaborative learning strategieshelped students increase their self-efficacy in learning course materials. In the area of roboticseducation, Ren et al.5 surveyed over twelve syllabi from different universities and suggested a Page 21.24.2problem/project based approach to foster creativity and insight about robotics in students. Otherresearchers also concurred in this

However, additional research is required to fully support these findings.2.1 Approaches to International Education: Universities are using a variety of programmatic andpedagogical approaches to incorporate international education into the engineering curriculum 17.Common models include: 1) traditional semester or summer study abroad in which studentscomplete courses that count towards their major and general electives 18-20; 2) short-term, credit-bearing programs lasting less than a month that address a specialized topic related to engineeringin a global context 21-24; 3) comprehensive degree programs in which students are required toobtain proficiency

Before looking at how we areattempting to address this issue for our specific institute, we first discuss the backgroundphilosophy that serves as a foundation of our efforts.Initiating InnovationAs a program we have approached the redesign of our curriculum through a process similar tothat outlined by Kerns, Miller, & Kerns.16 This involves four stages beginning with a discoveryphase that, in turn, leads to invention, development and testing phases. Part of the overalldiscovery phase was a reading and discussion of various chapters from the publications listedabove during a

The EFQM (EuropeanFoundation for Quality Management) frameworks and the Warren Centre’s PPIR(Professional Performance Innovation and Risk) protocol are suggested as proposedguiding foundations for establishing a global accord for continuing engineeringeducation. It is proposed that a new educational and professional developmentframework inspired by other accredited professional programs (such as law andaccounting) to be developed as a platform for establishing such a global accord. Theframework has the dual aims of providing learning opportunities for engineeringgraduates structured in

For example, a new class will be called “Global Engineering,” whichwill explore the marriage between rigorous engineering theory and user-centered,socioeconomic-driven product design that is necessary when creating technologies fordeveloping and emerging markets. Each student team in the class will produce a proof-of-concept technology in collaboration with a partnering organization located in the developingworld
