Theglobalization movement has been driven by economic, technological and political progress1. Asa result, this movement has even reached the engineering sphere. Engineers need to be ready totake on problems never seen before in a world that is open and competitive 2.According to Andersen3, engineers today require not only advanced technical skills but also theability to function in international projects with different cultures and beliefs to be successful inthe business world.

Students who were successful in juggling their schedules invariably came back from theirforeign study saying it was well worth the effort, and many said that it was a life changingexperience. However, it took the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)Engineering Criteria 2000 (EC2000), and their emphasis on a global perspective, to cause theengineering programs to think seriously about requiring a foreign study experience.

Somecalculations can be done quickly on a calculator, whereas others, such as least squares curve fit-ting, typically are done on a computer.

The survey results were used to rank the three methods based on theirefficiency for the students. It is worth mentioning that with today’s technology one can utilize advanced mathematicalsoftware to find the derivatives of a complex function numerically or symbolically. However, theobjective of this study was to measure the impact of these two new techniques on enhancing theunderstanding of uncertainty analysis for a group of junior undergraduate engineering students.PROPAGATION OF UNCERTAINTY In this section, the three approaches

Finally, male students held a higher self-belief inindependence of learning compared with female students.IntroductionIt is widely accepted that one goal of higher education is to instill in students the need for and thepractice of lifelong learning. All major stakeholders of higher education – graduates, employers,faculty and accrediting agencies – agree that this outcome is critically important given the rapidpace of change of society, especially in engineering and technology. Our graduates must adaptto this change to remain productive contributors. Indeed, it can be argued that much – or evenmost – of what an engineering graduate needs to
