GOOD IDEA ……. ?
“We know the countries that out-teach us today willout-compete us tomorrow.”
– President Obama
Educate.Innovate.
STAKEHOLDERS - STUDENTS
● Global engineers – Engineers who are well informed about problems in multiple contexts, – Can operate with engineers and situations different from those in their
immediate surroundings – Can apply their individual, localized training to universally relevant
issues.
– These globally minded students can often feel out of place within scientifically strict and theoretically dense curricula.
● Despite stereotypes, engineers who enjoy communication and networking, ethics and social issues do exist.
● THAT’S ME …. I have found my home !!!!
4. Appeal Early to Future Generations
Quanser’s Dr. Apkarian demonstrates Biomedical experiments to young students.

Encouraging and Developing Future Engineers
Ask yourselves “What can I do to help”.
● Increase demand … make Engineering FUN.
● Make Engineering RELEVANT
● Communicate what engineers DO
● Go visit local community
● GIVE THEM PERMISSION TO FAIL
Responding to the Changing Global Context ●WHAT problems now DRIVE engineering – ALL PERVASIVE TECHNOLOGY– TIGHTLY COUPLED– HIGHLY COMPLEX– SYSTEM LEVEL THINKING REQUIRED
The World Today
SYNERGISTIC GLOBAL COLLABORATION
