The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 1990, vol. 511, issue 1, 122-131

Abstract: An overview is provided of the need for a portion of science and engineering graduates to have language and cultural backgrounds for international involvement. The nature and educational background of engineering students, which have changed measurably in recent years, are reviewed. The experimental international engineering programs developed in the College of Engineering at the University of Illinois are described. These include active programs in Latin America, Europe, Asia, and the Pacific Rim. A variety of experimental programs has been tried, and experiences from these efforts have provided a basis for establishing future goals and direction.
