research movement has beenmore visible in the English-speaking world, where the majority of such initiatives have takenplace. This reality represents an opportunity for other regions where engineering educationresearch is not as prominent yet. Being the official language of 21 countries, and spoken by over300 million people around the world, Spanish has the potential to become one of the officiallanguages of engineering education research. This paper discusses the relevance of developing aSpanish-speaking community of engineering education research scholars by a) exploring thecurrent state of engineering education as a research field in Spanish-speaking countries asreflected in emerging dissemination outlets; and b) describing recent efforts to

Some schools are placing particular emphasis on preparing engineers for practicein dynamic, global workplaces. Yet what abilities and qualities define the globally competentengineer, and what types of experiences help support attainment of such attributes? This paperreports on the results of a survey of undergraduate and graduate students at Purdue University(n=231) that was designed to elicit: a) perceptions of desirable qualities and abilities for globalengineers, b) self-evaluation of abilities in each of the identified areas, and c) awareness ofpossible pathways for enhancing one’s own competence in each of
