Globalization and the Undergraduate Manufacturing Engineering Curriculum
TLDR
In this article, the ASME panel on manufacturing engineering education, industry representatives emphasized preparation for globalization, and possible ways of introducing the subject into an undergraduate curriculum without lengthening the program are suggested.Abstract:
At an ASME panel on manufacturing engineering education, industry representatives emphasized preparation for globalization. The concept has not yet had widespread impact on undergraduate engineering curricula. In this paper the industry updates are summarized, especially as they pertain to undergraduate engineering education for a globalized economy, and synthesized with the literature on the subject. Objectives for manufacturing engineering education are derived and possible ways of introducing the subject into an undergraduate curriculum without lengthening the program are suggested. The findings should be applicable to manufacturing, mechanical, and industrial engineering.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose an approach to conceptualizing the global competency of engineers, which is defined as "learning to work effectively with people who define problems differently" and three learning outcomes whose achievement can help engineering students fulfill that criterion, and use the criterion to establish a typology of established methods to support global learning for engineering students.

Cross Cultural Service Learning For Responsible Engineering Graduates
TL;DR: Christians at Messiah College as discussed by the authors aim to train engineers who are "technically competent and broadly educated, prepared for interdisciplinary work in the global workplace." They also want to influence their students so that their professional character and conduct are consistent with Christian faith commitments.
