Abstract
This paper describes the pedagogy, including the related international experience, being employed in the College of Engineering at a Research I university that is designed to develop competencies associated with a global engineer. In addition, the assessment methodology that has been developed to determine the extent to which students are developing the skills needed for engineering in a global context and their perceptions of a global engineer as a result of this comprehensive experience is discussed.
