Abstract
International Articulation Issues an Engineering Technology Education Response to Global ChallengesAs part of Northern Kentucky University’s (NKU) strategic plan in 2007-2012, the universitystated – that increasing globalization will require the university to become more international inscope. In accordance with this policy the engineering technology division has undertakeninternational student recruitment efforts and articulation agreements with universities abroad.This paper will discuss challenges in formulating such articulation agreements while maintainingthe integrity of existing accredited programs. The paper explains what it means tointernationalize a campus? The paper will also discuss types of experiences necessary to infuseglobal perspectives into the curriculum and build successful international education programs.
