AB  - Educating engineers to meet the needs of today’s global economy and diverse workforce involves preparing culturally literate individuals as well as providing increased access to members of under-represented and minority groups (UMMs). Minorities and Females constitute about 4% and 15% of the engineering workforce while accounting for over 13% and 50% of the general U.S. population respectively. The status quo is maintained by disproportionately high attrition rates from engineering programs among UMMs, ranging from 49% for Females to 62% among African Americans. Research, study abroad and research abroad opportunities are among the hosts of high impact experiential educational strategies currently being employed to increase under-represented and minority participation in engineering educational programs and subsequently profession.  This paper discusses the benefits, opportunities and challenges in sending engineers abroad, explores strategies for internationalizing engineering education, and examines how these can be achieved to ensure affordability, broad access and retention. Key strategies that will be explored include cooperation between multinational (particularly developing and developed countries) academic institutions, and curriculum integration. The partnership between the Engineering Programs at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania in the U.S. and the St. Augustine campus of the University of the West Indies on the Caribbean island of Trinidad and Tobago will be used as a case study to highlight considerations and implications.
