 @misc{mcconnell_koehler_2020, title={Educating Globally Competent Engineers in Segovia, Spain}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.18260/1-2--17802}, DOI={10.18260/1-2--17802}, abstractNote={Upon designing an opportunity that offers engineering students an international experience, several questions need to be answered such as "What are the benefits to an engineering student?"; "Is it necessary to have an intensive language requirement?";"How can excursions into the local community be geared toward engineers?"Removing the current economic situation of the United States from the equation, one can still make a strong case for the importance of time spent abroad due to the cultural understanding necessary to be marketable in a society that is truly affected by globalization.Technological advances have effectively shrunk our world which demands engineering fields to interact significantly more with other cultures.Upon leaving the university setting it is not that the students need some type of advantage to give them a leg up in the professional world but rather some type of international experience is necessary to merely compete in a global market.An international experience is an excellent way to expand one's horizons but that alone may not be enough.The Summer in Segovia, Spain offered by NC State University is specifically designed for engineering students who would like to address engineering problems around the world, in addition to learning vocabulary that is specific to the subject matter.This paper describes that opportunity in addition to analyzing excursions that have been tailored specifically for engineering students.It takes into account the accomplishment of learning objectives pertinent for academic classes as well as real world applications intended to maintain engineering student interest.This paper will also discuss challenges in assessing and developing experiences, and the importance of international opportunities.12 Prezi, PowerPoint, Movie Maker, Picasa Web, and Adobe 13 Reinforced by home stay}, journal={2011 ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition Proceedings}, publisher={ASEE Conferences}, author={McConnell, James and Koehler, Brian}, year={2020}, month={Sep} }
