Developing Intercultural Sensitivity through Directed Global Education Programming Jessica Dawn Ventura1Abstract – In view of the impact globalization has on engineering, many colleges and universities have madeglobal experiences part of their undergraduate programs. When developing a global engineering program, educatorsshould start by assessing where students are on the spectrum of intercultural sensitivity when they enter and therebydetermine how the program can best succeed in increasing their sensitivity. If engineers have not been exposed toworldviews that differ from their own, they will assume that everyone holds to similar views. Thus, the first step inattaining intercultural

Ongoing improvements include investigating software tools and green-screentechniques to increase student engagement. For example, interactive video learning techniqueswith embedded ‘hot links’ within a video can promote student attentiveness.
