AB  - Globalization and the new challenges for construction engineering educationAbstractThe world has been fully transformed in past decades by a phenomenon affecting us all,globalization. This movement has allowed for critical inquiry into the shifting climate of theglobal economy. The need to educate engineering students on how to work in a globalizedeconomy is well recognized within the engineering education community worldwide. The UnitedStates, however, has been tardy in the utilization of globalization. The U.S. construction industryhas been slow to recognize the effects of globalization and many construction programs atuniversities across the United States are hindered as a result. If the education is behind thecurrent industry, in incorporating courses that adequately prepare students to compete and workin the global work place, their value as engineers is diminished.The construction industry is unique in that design, construction and maintenance of the physicaland naturally built environment on a global level requires not only technical information but alsorequires knowledge of local, regional, international codes and business culture. It is imperativethat global aspects of construction, including ethical and cultural characteristics, are incorporatedin the education and training process of construction engineers so that they are better preparedfor their practice and globally competent. This paper will discuss existing Current GlobalConstruction Programs and courses as well as providing a hypothetical and specific frameworkof incorporating global course content of construction in construction engineering education thatwill empower students in a global market. In doing so, future engineers will have utilized propereducational resources in order to better serve the field of construction on a global level. Allowingstudents to become a more valuable commodity to seeking employers.Key words: Construction engineering, Globalization, Undergraduate education Ethics, Culture
