Most of the critical challenges seen in the past decades have impacted citizens in a global way. Given shrinking resources, educationists find preparing students for the global market place a formidable challenge. Hence exposing students to multi-lateral educational initiatives are critical to their growth, understanding and future contributions. This paper focuses on European Union's Erasmus Mundus...
A major challenge in engineering education today in India is preparing students with the skill set needed for a global industry. This paper describes an innovative partnership between two institutions of higher education in India and USA and a multinational corporation to address this challenge. The collaborative manner in which the industry and institutions internationalized the curriculum is a key...
We propose a Global Unification Model of Studies where the subjects, which follow a same educational plan inside of a specific state or country, can be selected by students from any place inside of that state/country. This proposal increases the university's flexibility providing to the students the option of selecting subjects given for teachers of other universities. In addition we promote the unification...
Existent indices for measuring RMB internationalization degree only reflect past and current situation of RMB's international use, and don't consider the fact that the financial openness of China is still considerably restricted. This paper aims at building a forward-looking index to measure RMB's potential in becoming internationalized currency, under the assumption that China will eventually unleash...
In this era of globalization and technological revolution, education is considered as a first step for every human activity. It plays a vital role in the development of human capital and is linked to an individual's well-being and opportunities for better living. It ensures the acquisition of knowledge and skills that enable individuals to increase their productivity and improve their quality of life...
With the rapid development of technology, e-learning pretends to be more useful and popular in education. E-learning can be used in or out of the classroom. Courseware is becoming a well known form of e-learning in present days. It helps to convert the conventional process of learning and teaching towards e-learning. Different educational organizations are providing their resources to all through...
Globalization has made a remarkable impact on the university education system, and the Internet has become the core resource for universities to make their facilities and opportunities available globally. University Web sites are increasingly used for a wide variety of purposes. The evaluation of universities based on their Web performance was introduced by Cybermetrics Lab as the "Webometric...
In recent years, the U.S. has seen a dramatic decline in its standing among first world countries in STEM performance. The U.S. currently stands at risk of missing out on the untapped human capital in sub-Saharan Africa. Countries like China, India, and Brazil are making sizeable infrastructural, technological and scientific investments there. Targeting students at an earlier stage in the STEM education...
The globalization of education and particularly engineering education often results in pedagogical instruction being given by instructors not speaking the native language of the audience. Today English is the language frequently selected to bridge this communication gap through traditional oral translation either simultaneous or interactive. This single avenue of communication is simply not adequate...
Following the new trend in education, more focused in a global perspective COPEC - Science and Education Research Council is offering an MBA, on line, in Social Engineering for all Countries of CPLP - Portuguese Language Countries Community. The goal is to cover these countries engineers that also are seeking for opportunities, as the majority are countries of growing economy based on their very rich...
With the trend of globalization, more and more Chinese companies have started the journey of internationalization through direct investment or merger and acquisition. In this process, how to adapt to different cultural backgrounds becomes increasingly important, and the conceptualization of cultural intelligence receives extensive attention. Cultural Intelligence(CQ), as a new type of intelligence...
This paper applies fuzzy cluster analysis to investigate co movement of Asian and U.S. stock prices from the viewpoints of both region and industry. Specifically, we analyze daily stock price data of Chinese, Indian, Japanese, South Korean, and U.S. firms from 2005 through 2011. The past literature has never used daily data because of non-synchronous trading times and holidays, but we resolve this...
Practice of engineering has undergone numerous reformations in the recent years of globalization. The first and foremost question that arises in our mind regarding engineering is whether the engineering education system is capable of providing competent engineers. It is the first issue to be addressed in engineering. In the current generation of globalization there is a need to modify the engineering...
The current paper presents the basic principles and the current status of E-learning through the prism of globalization and information society. Additionally, a conceptual approach is being presented regarding the implementation of the quick response codes technology in E-learning. The case studies of QRpedia and DBpedia are the vessel for innovative use of QR codes in education.
In the context of globalization and network economy, the development of Chinese enterprises rely more and more on innovation management. This paper gives an introduction of Total Innovation Management theory, which is a useful theory and has large application value on Chinese enterprises' practices. In addition, this paper analyzes the case of Hangzhou Honyar Company according to the Total Innovation...
There is strong evidence, based on news reports and supported by experts, that engineering work and tasks are being restructured and reallocated across different countries. Yet this significant transformation of the engineering enterprise hasn't been explored systematically. This paper will summarize current trends in the size, scope, and trajectory of engineering globalization. The implications of...
