In this image, preparing engineers for international workis a crucial practice in a multi-sectoral (industry-university-government) effort to advanceAmerican economic competitiveness in a world in which private industry has gone multinationalin scope. The broad image of economic competitiveness has arguably provided the dominantU.S. frame for planetary relations since the decline and end of the Cold War [24-31]. Theexpectation of a link between engineering education and economic competitiveness is notsurprising since engineering educators have been adjusting curricula to fit the broader, evolvinggoal of low-cost production for mass consumption since the 1870s [32

It is also important to observe that all courseassignments need not necessarily be identified as assessment tasks. It may be adequate if aninstructor can designate one or two tasks from each of the chosen courses (Brookhart, 1999).Authentic Assessment Fallon, Hammons, Brown and Wann (Fallon, 1997) define authentic assessment tasks arethose that (a) are meaningful to both students and the teacher, (b) are individual to each student’s experience in order to demonstrate his or her achievement, (c) require students to locate and analyze information as well as to
