Abstract
A map has no conclusion, yet it does warrant responses. This epilogue is one response to the map of trajectories into international and global engineering education that constitutes this volume. Drawing on the personal geographies, it addresses the question: What implications do these diverse trajectories have for dominant practices of engineering pedagogy?
