Abstract
AbstractNew York University characterizes itself as a global-network university. It currently offers (or soon will) engineering and business/management curricula leading to baccalaureate degrees on campuses in New York, Abu Dhabi and Shanghai. The programs are designed to be interoperable, i.e., students (and faculty) can move from campus to campus while staying on track in their particular course of study. This objective of interoperability raises interesting issues regarding the internationalization of engineering and technical education. Additionally, at Abu Dhabi and Shanghai, the engineering and business management programs are tightly integrated with classical, western liberal arts education. This paper will explore the variety of educational and philosophical issues of this approach. The paper will offer a favourable assessment of the approach while acknowledging the profound challenges it entails.
