Going Global: How to Develop Your Continuing Engineering Education Strategy for a World without Borders

Abstract

As companies attract and develop talent across the globe, continuing engineering education providers will follow suit – creating and delivering programs that both address the implications of a global strategy and are delivered worldwide. Stanford University’s School of Engineering has, through its extended education unit, the Stanford Center for Professional Development (SCPD), created and launched a number of global programs over the last decade. In the process, the SCPD has learned valuable lessons on how to develop, nurture, and sustain graduate, professional, and executive programs with a worldwide reach.
