GLOBAL ENGINEERING ALLIANCE FOR RESEARCH AND EDUCATION (GEARE) Abstract
The Global Engineering Alliance for Research and Education (GEARE) increases the effectiveness of undergraduate engineering education in preparing engineers for careers in the global technical economy. The unique 18 month program developed at Purdue in partnership with Karlsruhe and Shanghai Jiao Tong Universities integrates: language education; cultural orientation; three month domestic and three month international internships at the same partner firm; study abroad; and a two semester face-to-face-, multinational design team project, with one semester abroad and one at home. The program is bilateral, with nominally equal numbers of students from each university participating in the paired exchanges. Curriculum articulation is such that courses are transferable and offered so that there is no negative impact on time to
