and University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez colleagues12. These workshops aretailored for engineering faculty and engineering deans interested in renovating theirengineering programs to better serve their country/region’s needs. Faculty from relateddisciplines and graduate students interested in pursuing academic careers are encouraged toattend. The workshops provide a space and time for faculty and deans to learn aboutengineering education issues, revamping its curricula, effective teaching/learning methodsand become aware of best practices so they can become more effective educators.During the last two years, HP has partnered with IIDEA, the International Institute forDeveloping Engineering Academics13, to not only sponsor, but also participate

series of faculty workshops held in spring and fall 2010. Discovery continuedwith an examination of pedagogical approaches and learning environments that could supportachievement of the desired student learning outcomes, visits to partner universities, and smallscale pilots in individual classrooms.Pedagogical approaches and learning environments From a classroom teaching perspective, thecalled-for reforms studied suggest moving away from teacher-centered lectures to learningenvironments that actively engage students with discussion of, and critical thinking about,economic, ecological and social issues. Claudio Borri, writing in the foreword to Re-engineeringEngineering Education in Europe,17 states that a significant outcome of reform efforts

concern is evident 7.Engineering programs have recognized that they must produce globally competent graduateswho, by working cross culturally, and beyond national boundaries can effectively identifyopportunities, understand market forces, and successfully commercialize new technologies. Thiscall has come from professional organizations including the National Academy of Engineering(NAE) and its widely quoted The Engineer of 2020, the American Society of EngineeringEducation and the American Society for Mechanical Engineers 8, 9. As a result, a small, butgrowing number of engineering programs now imbed international experiences in their curricula.There is a second concern: Can these graduates become world citizens? Engineers mustunderstand that in
