“…Construction companies, foreign engineers and project managers from developing countries are now entering developed countries in significant numbers. In this rapidly changing, globalized construction market there are increasing opportunities for unethical and corrupt management -where the end justifies a means that would otherwise have been inappropriate 5 .…”

had worked in the industry for 15 years prior to coming back to academia. He has broad research interests including infrastructure construction engineering and management, ethics education in engineering and construction, risk management in construction, environmental and energy aspects in constructed facilities, nontraditional materials utilization in construction, concrete and asphalt technology. He has managed numerous international construction projects in different countries, and conducted many research projects funded by federal, state/provincial governments and industries. He is an international training expert hired by the World Bank Group, Washington DC, and a visiting professor at several universities. He is the sole author of the new book, entitled "The Utilization of Slag in Civil Infrastructure Construction", published by Elsevier in 2016.

The development of the curriculum for engineering education (course requirements as well as extra-curricular activities like study abroad and internships) should be based on a comprehensive understanding of engineers' responsibilities. The responsibilities that are constitutive of being an engineer include striving to fulfill the standards of excellence set by technical codes; to improve the idealized models that engineers use to predict, for example, the behavior of alternative designs; and to achieve the internal goods such as safety and sustainability as they are reflected in the design codes. Globalization has implications for these responsibilities and, in turn, for engineering education, by, for example, modifying the collection of possible solutions recognized for existing problems. In addition, international internships can play an important role in fostering the requisite moral imagination of engineering students.
