As globalization affects the technology-based companies and industries that form our constituents, it becomes increasingly important that our students become aware of these issues within the context of their engineering technology curriculum. In addition, TAC/ABET specifies educational outcomes in these areas that must be assessed and demonstrated by our students prior to graduation. For these reasons, it is necessary and appropriate that we imbed instruction in ethics, social responsibility, professionalism, and global awareness into the fabric of our undergraduate culture. This paper describes a workshop given at the 2005 Engineering Technology Leadership Institute, held in Rochester New York on October 1-3. The workshop involved 16 faculty and administrators from two-year and four-year programs at 13 different institutions. In addition to describing the workshop for those who were not able to attend, the paper draws conclusions and points out a "best practice" approach for future workshops.
