There is a recognized need to educate engineering students for competitive careers in a global economy. Educators need to carefully consider how to educate engineering students to prepare them for changes in the profession due to globalization and outsourcing. Educators also face the challenge of recruiting students into ECE programs in the face of the negative publicity of out-sourcing, and the perceived undercutting of the value of an engineering degree due to global competition. In response to this challenge the Electrical and Computer Department Heads Association (ECEDHA) and the International Engineering Consortium (IEC) organized a workshop on this topic that was held at the National Academy of Engineering in Washington D. C. on November 14 and 15, 2005. The second workshop will highlight on-the-job engineering experiences, best practices, and curricular development. There will be an attempt to compile information about the types of outreach activities in which ECE departments are currently engaged to address recruitment and retention of students and faculty in the face of globalization. Information on programmatic changes to improve global awareness and technical skills for global engineering will also be presented. The first day of the workshop will center around two invited panels, one a panel of experts from industry and the second a panel of experts from academia. Breakout groups will be charged to discuss issues raised by the panels and prepare reports on the most important lessons learned. These reports will be presented at the spring ECEDHA meeting in San Diego, March 14 ? 18, 2008 and a final report will be prepared for distribution to NSF and the ECEDHA membership. Opportunities to provide information electronically will be made available to those ECEDHA members who are not able to attend the workshop. Intellectual Merit: Intellectual merit of the second workshop centers on the urgency for ECE educators to modify ECE curricula in response to the increasing pressures of globalization in the ECE profession, to improve opportunities for continuing education, to motivate life-long learning in the ECE profession. Broader Impact: The broader impact of the second workshop is reflected in the international scope of the issues to be addressed at the workshop, and by the serious attention that the workshop will devote to recruiting, retaining, and mentoring undergraduate students, graduate students and young faculty, while drawing as much as possible from underrepresented groups in engineering (minorities and women in engineering).

人们认识到，有必要培养工科学生，让他们在全球经济中找到有竞争力的职业。教育工作者需要认真考虑如何教育工科学生，让他们为全球化和外包带来的职业变化做好准备。面对外包的负面宣传，以及全球竞争导致工程学学位价值被认为被削弱，教育工作者还面临着招收学生进入欧洲经委会课程的挑战。为应对这一挑战，电气和计算机系主任协会(ECEDHA)和国际工程联合会(IEC)于2005年11月14日和15日在华盛顿特区的国家工程院举办了一次关于这一主题的讲习班。第二期工作坊将重点介绍在职工程经验、最佳实践和课程发展。将尝试汇编有关欧洲经委会各部门目前正在开展的外联活动类型的资料，以解决面对全球化的学生和教员的招聘和留用问题。还将介绍为提高全球工程学的全球意识和技术技能而进行的方案变革方面的信息。研讨会的第一天将围绕两个受邀小组展开，一个是来自工业界的专家小组，另一个是来自学术界的专家小组。分组讨论小组将负责讨论小组提出的问题，并就最重要的经验教训编写报告。这些报告将于2008年3月14日至18日在圣地亚哥举行的ECEDHA春季会议上提交，最终报告将准备分发给NSF和ECEDHA成员。不能参加研讨会的ECEDHA成员将有机会以电子方式提供信息。知识价值：第二期讲习班的知识价值集中在欧洲经委会教育工作者迫切需要修改欧洲经委会课程，以应对全球化对欧洲经委会专业日益增加的压力，增加继续教育的机会，促进欧洲经委会专业的终身学习。更广泛的影响：第二期讲习班的更广泛影响反映在讲习班将要讨论的问题的国际范围，以及讲习班将致力于招聘、留住和指导本科生、研究生和年轻教员，同时尽可能多地吸收工程学中代表性不足的群体(工程学中的少数群体和妇女)。
