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.
