Abstract
This paper describes four case studies aimed at developing Global Engineers and Global Engineering Educators through faculty development. instructional development and service learning initiatives. Each case study is presented in the context of relevant background on the educational system. the current state of engineering and technology education ill the country, and the pressing challenges and available resources. The four case studies involve faculty and instructional development initiatives in Afghanistan, India, and Kazakhstan, as well as. a global service learning project ill Nicaragua. The success of each program was strongly dependent on face-to-face interaction and a community-driven approach.
