4. Read the text and list the main types of engineering mobility.

ENGINEERING MOBILITY

Engineering is a global profession – technology and its application will cross borders regardless of geographical, cultural or political barriers. Globalization requires professionals being excellent in their fields and being able to work on a global scale at the same time. In order to educate excellent engineers, intercultural competences are essential. There are countries with an oversupply of engineering talent, however, the movement of talent remains a complex issue. Many efforts were done in order to facilitate the mobility of engineers and of engineering students, staffs and researchers. Mobility is more and more becoming a key development factor for any professional who wants to find interesting jobs and to get a good salary and satisfying conditions of employment.

Mobility is often limited to the physical mobility, that is to say to travelling, studying and working abroad. Of course, this geographical mobility is the most obvious facet. However, it is important also not to forget other dimensions of mobility:

• 
  professional or job mobility: how many times should engineers change their jobs in their life? How many companies should engineers have experienced? How many projects should engineers have managed for being considered as good ones?
  
• 
  social mobility: involvements, responsibilities, representative activities in various organizations;
  
• 
  cultural mobility: sharing views (or life) with people from other cultures for better understanding that the world is not based on a unique, linear thought;
  
• 
  transdisciplinary mobility: should engineers develop other skills than pure scientific and technological ones?
  
• 
  methodological mobility: problems can be solved through different ways, with different methods: how engineers are able to become flexible in that domain?
  
• 
  technological mobility: it is clear that tools are rapidly changing and they can become obstacles if one is not able to use them with some distance.
  

Mobility is often associated with adaptability, flexibility, reactivity, interactivity. Thanks to the digital and network revolution it is not necessary to work in other countries or continents. Mobility is becoming more and more “virtual”, people can work and act locally but should think globally, internationally. In other words, stimulating the mobility of the minds is certainly the key issue for the educational programmes and policies in the future that means using systematically on-line and digitized resources at world-wide level, stimulating works on joint projects, using life long learning (continuing education) in the aim to develop skills and competencies for working in a more global world and for becoming more mobile.

8. Complete the text with the following words and words combinations:

How Studying or Working Abroad Makes You Smarter

links /  researcher /  abroad  /  experience  /  cultures  /  flexible

How does studying or working __________ change you? These are the conclusions of a growing body of research on the effects of study- and work-abroad experiences. For example: A study led by William Maddux, an associate professor of organizational behavior at INSEAD, found that among students enrolled in an international MBA program, their “multicultural engagement” – the extent to which they adapted to and learned about new cultures – predicted how “integratively complex” their thinking became. That is, students who adopted an open and adaptive attitude toward foreign cultures became more able to make connections among disparate ideas. The students’ multicultural engagement also predicted the number of job offers they received after the program ended.
