    2. The Future of Engineering Higher Education- Its Global Divestiture

    3. What’s Happening in… China More Students in Colleges & Universities (20 million) than US, India, Russia, Japan Doubled Number of S & E PhDs From 1996-2001 to Greater Than 8,000 Beijing Geely University, one of 1,300 Private Universities – 20,000 Students @ $1,000/yr Tsinghua University – the MIT of China – Most Faculty Studied Abroad, English Popular Applications to US Down 60% in Last Two Years

    4. India More Stay in India for Higher Education Than Ever Before Berkeley, UCSD, CMU, Cornell, SUNY@Buffalo & Case Western 3 Year MOU with India (AMRITA Univ.) for Satellite Learning Network Funded by QUALCOMM, Microsoft, Cadence Applications to US Down More Than 40% in Last Two Years

    5. International Applications

    6. The Rise of Competition in Graduate Education: Some Indicators Europe produced more PhDs than US in 2003 Asia produced more PhDs than US in 2003 Application for Graduate Study in US is Down Bachelors (3 Yr. Becoming Standard in EU), Masters, PhD Format Adopted in Europe & Asia Cost Cooperation within EU & within Asia All seeking diverse student population Increased Teaching in English

    7. Technology Travel Distance Learning Language Diversity of Culture Uniformity of Process Best in Class Multi-National Corporations Competition & Cooperation

    8. US Need for International Exchange 96% of Humanity Lives Outside the U.S. Borders 13 Million Americans in Higher Education 175,000 (1.35%) of Those Have an International Education Experience Annually 5,000 (0.04%) of Those are Engineering Students

    9. Tuition Paid at Home Institution Room & Board Paid at Host Institution Zero Net Flow of Student Semesters Geographically and Temporally Integrated Full Credit Transfer of Courses Policy on Grades Determined by Individual University Members Course Data Bank Voluntary Global Engineering Education Exchange Program Characteristics

    10. The Future Changing Face of Competition Traditional Campus Based University Distance Learning Virtual University Industry Based University International Competition Increasing A Global Virtual University Degree Credit Requirements

    12. Universities in a Flat World Pradeep K. Khosla, CMU Companies have transformed from doing business globally to being global enterprises – thanks to Computing and Communications technologies! Manufacturing of products globally Industry supported Research and development is going global Availability of trained human resources and more effective on a cost basis Ability to solve problems and develop products of local interest IP provisions in foreign countries are more attractive to companies: 50% of respondents to a 2004 Industrial Research Institute study indicated that they are funding research at foreign universities.

    13. Talent Pool is Global 10 years ago about 40% of Engineering work hours were within the US By 2010 about 10% of the Engineering work hours will be based in US India and China graduate a total of about 15X more engineers every year compared to about 65,000 in the US The cost of an engineering work hour in India/China is between 10%-20% of that in the US Routine engineering jobs are being outsourced at a very fast pace Downward pressure on salaries will continue

    14. Universities Stuck in the Old World The 21-st century university is still local Education is local, not scalable, and relatively expensive Research is performed locally; Issues with IP provisions (Bayh-Dole, Tax free bonds etc) Students from all countries come to campus current geo-political issues indicate and predict a decrease in the number of international graduate students due to ITAR regulations and VISA issues What will be the future of Engineering graduates in the US? Carnegie Mellon is taking a leadership role in defining a new curriculum Engineers will be required to operate in a global (multi-national and multi-cultural) environment and must appreciate the needs of the people where products are manufactured and sold

    15. What is the Real Issue? The Real issue is not that other countries are graduating more students, but By when will these countries have the culture of US that integrates research, education, economic development in a cohesive strategy and compete head-to-head with the US success model By when will foreign universities establish more economically affordable models for delivering education within the US and to US students within foreign countries Since this will happen, how should a university respond to this threat?

    16. Implications of A Flat World for CMU Engineering College Rethink how to educate our undergraduate and graduate students so that they are able to compete, succeed, and lead in the new global business environment – Rethink Education to create the ‘Carnegie Plan for a Flat World’ Managing Innovation in a Global multilingual and multicultural environment Holistic Education Take the culture of CMU graduate education and R&D to foreign countries by creating a collaborative and scalable research and education infrastructure Capitalize on the R&D investment of foreign governments and industry Offer opportunity to graduate students and faculty to operate globally and in diverse cultures Strategic Goals for Globalization Create more visibility for Carnegie Mellon Global partnerships greatly enhance competitiveness for corporate research by U.S. companies GOAL – ”CMU as a global research and education partner.”

    17. Carnegie Mellon International Strategy Strategy currently focused around CMU`s key strengths – CyberSecurity and System-on-a-Chip technologies Cybersecurity and IT CyLab Athens – Offer MSIN degree thru INI CyLab Korea – Focused on research with investments in Korea and Pittsburgh CyLab Japan – Offer MSIS-IT degree in Kobe Japan SoC ITRI Lab@Carnegie Mellon -- focused on research Carnegie Mellon Qatar Campus (CS and Business) Carnegie Mellon Heinz School Campus in Adelaide, Australia Several Others examples within CMU
