This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)This engineering education research CAREER award to Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University will advance fundamental knowledge of how professional engineering practices have changed due to globalization and how this has impacted engineers in the field. The research is very innovative because it will contribute to theoretical development in the area of global engineering education and provide an intellectual foundation to develop pedagogical resources to prepare globally competent engineers. The results will impact engineering education widely through a guide on working on global teams which will be produced and disseminated to students, faculty, and study abroad offices. Also the online repository of case studies and supporting curriculum will be published in academic journals and through online platforms such as NSDL.org and GlobalHUB.org. The project includes a strong evaluation and the commitment to share best practices with other engineering schools. It will enhance the number of students who complete engineering degrees and are ready to fill engineering jobs or start new high tech businesses.

该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。该工程教育研究职业奖授予弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学，将推进专业工程实践如何因全球化而发生变化的基础知识，以及这如何影响该领域的工程师。这项研究非常具有创新性，因为它将有助于全球工程教育领域的理论发展，并为开发教学资源以培养全球合格的工程师提供知识基础。研究结果将通过全球团队工作指南广泛影响工程教育，该指南将制作并分发给学生，教师和留学办公室。 此外，案例研究和支持课程的在线存储库将在学术期刊上发布，并通过NSDL.org和GlobalHUB.org等在线平台发布。该项目包括强有力的评估，并承诺与其他工程学院分享最佳实践。它将增加完成工程学位并准备填补工程工作或开始新的高科技企业的学生人数。
