| Description: | "In Search of Global Engineering Excellence: Educating the Next Generation of Engineers for the Global Workplace The target of the initiative Global Engineering Excellence is to uncover significant facts about the importance of engineering in the world's markets, the education of engineers on a worldwide basis and the needs for future engineering profiles, as well as to give recommendations for improvement for all stakeholders. And all this from a global perspective - for the first time ever. Engineers play a critical role in fueling the global economy. Industry needs highly educated, entrepreneurial engineers to ensure innovation and technological leadership. Industry needs engineers who strive for the best in a high-performance, highly competitive global market. Industry needs a new breed of engineerS: technically broad, commercially savvy, and globally adept. As a leading international automotive supplier in the high-tech sector, Continental is strongly committed to promoting the global advancement of engineering education and the development of young engineers. The report, In Search of Global Engineering Excellence: Educating the Next Generation of Engineers for the Global Workplace, reflects that commitment. It also reflects the commitment of an international team of scholars from eight universities known for their engineering programs. The first big step of implementation of international engineering studies at Universities worldwide will start in 2008 with the Global Engineering Internship Program. About 20 Students from the participating GEE-Universites can apply for the program. Continental organizes for the selected students international assignments." |
