As further background for these efforts, we summarize relevant prior literaturediscussing strategies for scaffolding and assessing learning outcomes, both in general andspecifically in the context of global engineering programs. Based on our preliminary results, wealso discuss both benefits and challenges associated with this innovative programmaticimplementation. Furthermore, we propose directions for improvement, with an emphasis onstudent recruitment, faculty involvement

This paper presents acase study on an initiative to encourage and mentor faculty members to offer faculty-led tripsenhanced by interdisciplinary collaborations. From the instructor’s point of view, we providedour timeline, collaborative relationship development, backward course design driven by learningoutcomes, and the transferrable strategies to overcome the challenges along the way. From thestudents’ learning effectiveness point of view, we provided student reflections using the DEALmodel [5] to

Like many universities, the University of Cincinnati (UC) has made a concertedeffort to increase its global interactions and colleges and units are encouraged to contribute tothis global strategy. Many of the businesses that hire our graduates are global companies andthey are seeking employees who are comfortable working in this global context.

)AbstractResearch has shown that study abroad yields the greatest educational outcomes for interculturalcompetency when it is couched in a curriculum that encourages preparation before and reflectionafter the abroad experience. To enhance the educational outcomes of engineering students’ studyabroad experiences, we developed a certificate program that couples an abroad experience withadditional coursework in global topics and a reflection assignment. The certificate program isbased on a similar program at Northern Arizona University, and is otherwise rare in our peerschools. The goal of the program is to encourage students to engage in coursework and experiencesthat cultivate cultural competency, and to recognize students’ efforts when they do so. In

These excursions gave aninsight on some aspects of the Brazilian culture but lacked the importance of these activites onBrazilian history. An example of this lack of historical context was when the students were nottaught the history of Capoeira before learning how to practice it.In addition, the students were asked to keep a blog during their time on the dialogue.

and old-age dependency, however, is evenmore revealing. Figure 4 below [1, p. 6] reflects this combined dependency on the working agepopulation. From the below figure, two lines in particular are worth noting. In the year 2020, thetotal dependency ratio, as a measure of the burden on the working age population, is 64. Meaning,in the year 2020, there will be two dependents for every three working age adults. The combineddependency ratio, with the elderly population taking a higher percentage of the total dependencyratio, increases steadily through 2060, the last of the current estimated years. This dependency is,again, a reflection of a slower growing population, a declining fertility rate and a generally agingpopulation

Due to the limitation of space and relevance tothe purpose of this paper, focus will be placed on the developmental and compositional modelsof intercultural competence.  Developmental models are rooted in the recognition that intercultural competenceevolves over time. An influential example is the Developmental Model of InterculturalSensitivity (DMIS) created by Milton J. Bennett [10]. There are six stages in the DMIS modelwhere interactants progress from relatively ethnocentric understandings of other culturesto a more differentiated, sophisticated and ethnorelative comprehension and appreciation:“Denial” reflects attitudes that only one’s own culture is in some sense real or legitimate, whileother cultures are

Moreover, engineers are expected to have the ability to work on multi-national teams designing products in one part of the world that will be manufactured in anotherand sold in yet another. In short, engineering is in itself, a global enterprise [2]. Trainedindividuals are needed who understand participatory development and have the technical skills toaddress complex issues. As noted by William Wulf [3], President Emeritus of National Academyof Engineering:“…engineering is now practiced in a global, holistic business context, and engineers must designunder constraints that reflect that context.

Thepeculiarities of the modern society are reflected in an explicit integration process. Inaccordance with United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization(UNESCO) data, nowadays there is no mono-ethnicity left in the world. Polyethnicity andmigration processes increase internationalization and integration in diversified society of thecountries. All the processes result in social tension and conflicts that occur between differentethnic and cultural groups. The main reason of this tension is ignorance of ‘aliens’ that causeshostility and disbelief. Eastern wisdom says: «People
