describes an on-going research project in establishing the validity of a direct methodfor teaching and measuring undergraduate engineering students’ professional skills. Proficiencyin engineering professional skills (Table 1) is critical for success in the multidisciplinary,intercultural team interactions that characterize global 21st century engineering careers. Yet,faculty members around the world have struggled to define, teach and measure professionalskills since their introduction as ABET criteria for engineering programs in 20001,2,3,4 . In fall2006, the Washington State University (WSU) College of Engineering in the northwesternUnited States (US) developed an innovative, direct method to teach and measure the ABETprofessional skills

In the second andthird courses in this series, students have the opportunity to practice real-life scenarios andwitness their impact first-hand.This curriculum can be directly integrated into undergraduate coursework to fulfill electiverequirements; furthering the potential impact of engineering education and careers. Whenintroduced to these issues and ideas as a student, the potential for impact can be long standingand far reaching. Page 21.18.9Resources 1. Abu-Ghaida, D. and Klasen, S. The Costs of Missing the

Global Engineering Competencies and CasesWhether working on multi-national project teams, navigating geographically dispersed supplychains, or engaging customers and clients abroad, engineering graduates encounter worlds ofprofessional practice that are increasingly global in character. This new reality poses challengesfor engineering educators and employers, who are faced with the formidable task of preparingengineers to be more effective in diverse global contexts. In response, more global learningopportunities are being made available to engineering students, as reflected in gradual yet steadyincreases in the number of global engineering programs and participating students.1 Manycompanies are also offering professional development

of thepresent day UAE towards an information-driven economy and sustainable energy society by theyear 2030, as outlined in the ambitious plan titled “Abu Dhabi 2030”1. This report outlines the motivation, standards and initial critical feedback on the start-upefforts to establish a multi-purpose chemistry laboratory to serve the needs of the BiomedicalEngineering Department faculty and students. The build-up of such a relatively broad laboratorycapability has several aspects that make the effort worthy of a critical look in respect to theglobal competence of KUSTAR engineering graduates2,3, such as:a.

semester began first, with Colorado’s a close second,and Germany starting third in mid-October. Figure 1 shows a simplified schedule as well as eachUniversity’s semester dates and overlap.The overall project schedule was based on the University of Colorado’s Senior Design Coursetimeline, which encompasses an entire project experience over the span of 2 semesters. Theproject is divided into two phases, in sync with the CU semester schedule. The first semester, orphase of the project course, is focused entirely on design, analysis, and prototyping. The secondphase of the project encompasses the manufacturing, integration, and testing aspects. Eachcomponent must be manufactured, tested at a subsystem level, integrated to the system level, andtested
