Abstract
Over the past 20 years, the world has seen significant advances in and adoption of new technology, political events that have led to the opening of formerly closed societies, economic policies that have encouraged free trade, and the growth in multinational companies. These changes have resulted in a world with increased connectedness and interdependencies and a globalization of the workforce. This paper discusses the impact globalization has had on engineering and engineering education.
