Environment, and Extreme Events 2013 Brazil 28 Global Challenges of Energy Production in the Coming DecadesEducational ObjectivesThe educational goals for the Collaborative Field Course can be divided into the specificeducational objectives of the 2013 course focusing on energy production, as well as the long-term collaborative objectives of the on-going annual course.The specific Educational Objectives for the 2013 course were: 1. To evaluate current and future energy generation technologies that are relevant on both a local and global scale, including the associated environmental and social impacts 2. To compare the similarities and differences of the energy systems and production in Brazil and the U.S

identified ten challenges that civil engineers would face in aglobally growing market. Endersbee4 maintains that civil engineering is an internationalprofession that will have to deal with increasing world population, substantial advances inagricultural practices, urbanization, mobility in location of world manufacture, issues oftransportation in cities, advances in computer and communication technologies, the increasingworld demand for electricity, the impact of energy use on the climate, implications of possibleclimate change, and the different laws at the international level. These challenges are a realitytoday, and civil engineers and constructors entering the job market must be well prepared to meetthem by educational programs that emphasize
, social, cultural, and economic issues thatare intimately connected to engineering issues and people affected by these engineeringchallenges. One of the most effective ways of providing our students these learning experiencesis through education abroad opportunities. Yet less than 4% of US engineering students studyabroad and there has been little growth in the past two years1. It is also well established that experiential, project/problem-based learning with an emphasison acquiring new knowledge and applying and integrating previous knowledge can be veryeffective structures for enhancing student learning2. These structures engage students in open-ended, ambiguous, authentic activities; and usually involve teams. It is learning that goes

In her research she is equally versatile: her scholarship covers a wide range of topics relating to international education, languages across the curriculum, applied linguistics, materials development and literary and cultural studies.Dr. Sigrid – Berka, University of Rhode Island Dr. Sigrid Berka is the Executive Director of the International Engineering Program (IEP) at the Univer- sity of Rhode Island, and also the Director of the German and the Chinese IEP, responsible for building academic programs with exchange partners abroad, internship

Undergraduate research programs that couple interculturallearning curricula with technical preparation for the research projects may be more effective inpreparing students to be globally-savvy researchers.5.3 Limitations and future researchThis study involved a small population of students and used a single attitudinal measure in order toassess intercultural maturity.

many existing programs, which often began as experimental initiatives based on aparticular existing relationship to a particular university abroad. This often makes suchinitiatives both difficult to scale beyond the natural capacity of the initial partnership and, moreimportantly, difficult to expand to other departments, colleges, or institutions. What is needed isa robust, broadly-applicable model for pursuing internationalization of STEM education on acollege-wide basis.In this paper, we provide a starting point for this conversation by discussing our development ofthe Global Science and Engineering Program (GSEP), an ambitious internationalization initiativeuniformly spanning all science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) degree

disciplinary areas was less than expected, perhaps due tothe project’s shorter duration and the significant – at least syntactical - divergence between thetwo cultures.IntroductionAll the engineering educators – across the globe– are professing the need to develop multi-cultural and multi-disciplinary skills based on the industry requirements. That motivated us todesign and launch an Indo-Japanese program to execute a couple of projects. This paper presentsthe results and analysis of one successful project - a multi-cultural portal. It is aimed at helpingtravelers across cultures. While the portal is being architected to work for a number of cultures, itis being implemented only for the Japanese travelers visiting India.
