| Abstract | The world is becoming more and more globalized. That has an important impact on the working environment of engineers. Designing, producing and distributing products either in international companies, in international working-teams or at least for international markets is part of today's economic reality. Even if goods have been sold or purchased all over the globe for centuries now, today's markets have been grown closer together than ever. This is the potential working environment engineering students are facing. In contrast to that engineering education still is very local oriented. The number of international courses or even programs in which the students can train to act in intercultural settings is small in comparison to the amount of engineering courses at universities. Changing this imbalance means developing possibilities to train globally competent engineers in local educational systems. An essential step in this work is to define the globally competent engineer itself. What are competences or attributes graduates need in order to act successfully in international contexts? Answering this question the paper takes three sequential steps. First of all the term “intercultural competence” will be discussed. In a second step a literature research on attributes of globally acting engineers will be shown. Finally official documents of four accreditation agencies for engineering programs will be analyzed with focus on international aspects. By doing so four central areas of intercultural competence that are related to engineering can be identified: (International) communication, understanding of the engineering profession in a global context, (international) teamwork and ethical reasoning. In the conclusion all three steps will be connected and a catalogue of four central competences will be discussed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
