Transnational engineering education requires teachers that are able to merge the unique engineering needs of their local country with best practices and techniques for fostering global awareness and preparedness in engineering students. Rapid computerization and the opening of previously closed markets helped the large multi-national corporation become a common model for engineering in the twenty-first century. Graduates must understand that social, cultural, economic, and political differences will affect and shape their careers in ways that previous generations of engineers may not have faced. Mandatory requirements help ensure that students receive opportunities for transnational study or, at the least, exposure to transnational topics. Engineering educators, however, must also be prepared. Engineering professional societies provide substantial continuing education, peer-networking, reference literature, and humanitarian opportunities to help educators stay current and prepared to talk about topics and trends in global engineering. In this paper, the IEEE and the IEEE Education Society are presented as examples of such transnational cooperation

89. Globalization versus Glocalization A focus on globalization has advantages because the worldwide community works to develop products with commonalities so that they can share those applications and ideas in any part of the world Challenges appears when implementing activities because of cultural, social, or political differences IEEE 87

90. Globalization vs. Glocalization IEEE 88

91. Globalization vs. Glocalization Glocalization tries to avoid these challenges by including local cultural information social views low level local management plan in the design of any global product or service IEEE 89 89

92. Glocalization goal Keep focus with the worldwide people grouped in the society The different cultural and local vision can add some unique approaches that are more adjusted to the specific needs of the local group IEEE 90

93. Glocalization examples TISP - Teacher In-Service Program Training where IEEE is trying to improve the total worldwide number of young students attracted to study engineering based on a "train the trainers" model. It focuses on helping teachers in the secondary level acquire the capacities and competences to introduce engineering in the classroom IEEE 91
