Ricci believes “engineering certifications are a way for professionals to distinguishthemselves and to validate their experience, skill, and knowledge in a specific field” [1]. Byincorporating industry certifications into the undergraduate curriculum, Mata proposes that thesecertifications will enhance students’ educational experience and increase the value of thecurriculum [2].

To help fill this gap, academic libraries and other entities often offershort-format instruction on such topics, as well as in related topics, such as conducting literaturereviews, understanding the research lifecycle, and issues regarding scholarly publishing [2].Although commonly associated with STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math)disciplines, data analysis and related skills and knowledge have become an important componentof research in many academic fields, including humanities and social sciences [3]. If training inthese skills is not integrated into their program’s curriculum, students may be expected to learnsuch skills on their own [4

WorldInternational research collaborations provide important opportunities to support innovativeresearch and address the significant global challenges facing the world today. One way todevelop researchers who are both interculturally competent and able to navigate global researchnetworks within their field is to provide international research experiences for students. Priorwork has indicated that such experiences lead to a wide range of learning outcomes includingintercultural competence, research skills, personal development, and, importantly, a newperspective on their career goals and trajectory [1]–[6]. However, in the midst of the COVID-19pandemic, international collaborations and programs for students faced challenges in continuingtheir typical
