Issues surrounding a heutagogical approach in global engineering education

Heutagogy is the study of self-determined learning, which places the learner, rather than the teacher or the institution, or even the curriculum, at the center of the learning process. The goal of heutagogy is to create responsible, self-capable, proactive, competent learners, who are ready to face the challenges of the increasingly connected world, today as well as tomorrow. The promise of heutagogy is ambitious and applaudable. This paper provides additional considerations for heutagogical approach to be successful in the global science and engineering programs. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2014.
