Abstract: As the world becomes globally integrated and increasingly exposed to new challenges, academic institutions are becoming more accountable to prepare engineers who are ready to address the challenges of cultural, environ mental, and ethical forces within the modern and g lobal world. Technical co mpetence accompanied by a good understanding of economic and political systems, and cultural d iversity are required to appropriately address these global challenges. Using the United States Coast Guard Academy as a case study, this paper describes strategies that academic institutions can use to infuse "global education" into their undergraduate engineering programs.
