CPD 434: International Partnerships in Continuing Engineering Education: Best Practices and Considerations for Future Global Expansion

Continuing engineering education has transformed from a localized service to a global industry. International expansion continues to be a necessity for professional development programs in the future, but this expansion is not always easily obtainable. Partner universities, professional organizations and corporations around the world can assist by providing experts who are familiar with educational, business and cultural expectations in the destination country. This presentation will share best practices and lessons learned, including business practices, legal considerations, cultural expectations and learning differences encountered while developing international partnerships in professional engineering education. Moderator: Octavio Heredia, Arizona State University Presenters: Zachary Gredlics, University of Kansas, Soma Chakrabarti, University of Delaware
