Abstract | There is growing interest among engineering educators in the question of internationalisation of engineering courses. In this paper the authors first present an analysis of the factors that may cause course designers to internationalise their course material. It is then demonstrated how those factors have influenced the design and delivery of one of the courses offered by the faculty of Technology and Society is a one-semester course that deals with a range of topics in the management of the interface between engineers and the rest of society. It meets the requirement from Engineers Australia that engineering graduates, among other things, should have an The paper argues that that whilst some of the factors lead unquestionably to globalisation of the curriculum, there are others that would lead to localisation of the curriculum. It reviews the process of internationalisation of the course and concludes with a summary of the authors’ |
