Abstract
Globalization challenges US engineering students to prepare for work in a culturally diverse environment where they will encounter non-US engineers defining and solving problems. The purpose of this course is to help students learn about engineering in different times and places so they can recognize, understand, respect, and possibly even value perspectives other than their own
