The Attributes of a Global Engineer: International Faculty Development ConsiderationsAbstractWhat knowledge, skills, abilities, and characteristics are needed by engineering professionalsliving and working in an increasingly global context? At what stage of an engineer’sprofessional development are these attributes acquired and applied? In what ways doacademicians, employers, policymakers, and others play a role in equipping engineering studentsand practitioners with such attributes? And to what extent are there similarities and differencesin the nature of expected attributes based on one’s background or location?For the past three years, the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) CorporateMember Council’s Special Interest Group for International Engineering Education developed,presented, and vetted with its stakeholders a series of attributes representing the desiredcompetencies and characteristics needed by engineers in order to effectively live and work in aglobal context. An online survey was launched to validate the performance and proficiencylevels of each attribute, including the stages at which attributes were essential to the preparation,performance, and employability of global engineers. Educators, employers, students, andprofessional engineers throughout the global engineering community were invited to participatein the survey. To promote input and obtain feedback from the largest possible global engineeringaudience, ASEE collaborated with the International Federation of Engineering EducationSocieties (IFEES) to make the survey available in Chinese, English, French, German, Italian,Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Turkish. More information aboutthe Attributes of a Global Engineer Project is available here:http://www.ifees.net/activities/ASEECMCSIG-IFEES.cfmWe are now at the phase of the project where we will begin conducting faculty developmentworkshops and focus groups with stakeholders from around the world in order to validate,clarify, and expand on the results of this research. This workshop will describe the stakeholder-driven process to identify and define attributes of a global engineer, including surveydevelopment and sampling procedures; present a summary of key findings-to-date; highlight therecommendations and implications of how findings should be used to enhance engineeringeducation; and engage participants in brief focus group discussion to permit additional input andperspectives on the Attributes of a Global Engineer Project. In addition to the proposedworkshop at ASEE’s International Forum, we will conduct a similar workshop at theInternational Conference on Engineering Education in Finland in August and have proposed asimilar workshop for the World Engineering Education Forum in Argentina in October. Suchwidespread international faculty development and input surrounding this project will strengthenits overall outcomes and impact on engineering education and workforce preparation.
