Feedback provided by students,collaborating agencies and other institutions have indicated that the current program does a verygood job of preparing the students for their immersions and helping the students to becomeglobal engineers. Although there are many well established international technical opportunitiesand programs that can be easily adopted by universities, it is often difficult, due to a lack ofresources, to establish these programs at smaller universities.

regards to the ethics of teaching, qualifications for teaching, and quality of teaching. The author does not have a Ph.D. as is common to many university instructors and teaches many classes in structural analysis while having degrees in civil engineering that have been concentrated in study of environmental engineering and water resources. Thus concern is raised by the author’s own ethics, qualifications, and quality of instruction. As student evaluations have improved this concern is subsiding. Reading comments by students in a statics class of how that instruction improved understanding of physics and suggesting teaching a physics class further diminishes this concern.

After a series of fruitful discussions andnegotiations, the faculty from both departments agreed that they would pursue an instructionalstrategy that was, at the time, quite new for ERAU: collaborative teaching.Collaborative teaching refers to both linked teaching and team-teaching 1. In linked teaching, aninstructor from a math, writing, ethics, or other general education discipline links the content oftheir course to that of another course so as to provide a synergistic outcome. Thus, a mathinstructor might link their course to a space physics course, introducing or reinforcing themathematical notions that are

However, official recognition ofthe concept in practice has come relatively recently. For example, the ASCE Board of Directorsintroduced the concept into the ASCE Code of Ethics a little more than a decade ago3.Equipping civil engineers at the university level to plan and design sustainable developments,buildings, and processes is also relatively new.
