Twoweb-based survey versions were developed and distributed with the use of Qualtrics softwarepackage. The first focused on 2 and 3 Yr Alumni. The second focused on 10 and 15Year Alumniand Advisory Committees. For both surveys and for each of the eight identified competencies,participants were first asked to rate A) the Importance – How important do you think this topic isto engineering education? (1= Not Important 5= extremely important, or No Opinion) and B)Preparation – How well have you [recent undergraduates for alumni and advisor] been preparedin these areas?

Both industry and academia benefit by developing keyrelationships on a global scale. As more engineers are needed with global collaborative skills,efforts like the SGDC can develop engineers to face the needs of today’s (and tomorrow’s)industry.The students in the pilot showed a significant increase in their understanding of cross-culturalcommunication and globalization.

Personal interviews with the villagers showed thatthey were very grateful and excited to see how these projects would help them to receive thebasic needs of life. Acceptance level of the projects usually depended on the technicality of theproject or process being implemented. Overall, the more technically complicated a project was,the more difficult it was for the people to understand, maintain, and use.
