to exclude their information.3.3 COVID-19 Setting To provide greater context to the setting in which this research was conducted, we mustacknowledge the COVID-19 pandemic and the situations in which that forced internationalstudents into. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, incoming international students were admittedinto a special virtual program designed to cater to their needs called Bound. This allowedstudents to take asynchronous classes while being in various time zones. While being at homewas safe and comfortable, it was also difficult for students to make connections with peers andparticipate in extracurricular activities. Despite the virtual nature of most meetings and events,being in a time zone more than 7 hours ahead made it

engineeringchallenges for utilizing its abundant sunlight to provide energy? We capitalized on a uniqueopportunity to conduct an international collaboration between a solar power entrepreneur inSouth Sudan and an engineering professor in the USA to explore this topic. As part of anundergraduate independent study course, we designed two modules (introductory and advanced)on off-grid solar power for South Sudan. Meetings were held over zoom during the summer of2020. The student brought his practical experience of owning and operating a solar energycompany in South Sudan. The instructor brought her experience in developing educationalmaterials. Each module included learning objectives, content, and exercises. Topics includedIntroduction to energy access in South

Facilitators were either engineering faculty (2),graduate engineering students (2), or professional engineers with at least 5 years’ experience (3).Two of the facilitators were in Lebanon, the rest were US-based. Facilitators met for 1 hour onceper week to coordinate activities and share best practices. The role of the facilitator was two-fold: to help the communication among the team, and to act as a technical mentor aiding the teamin the completion of their design project.Data CollectionThe purpose of this assessment project is to determine if a short-term, multinational, virtual teamexperience will enable students to work effectively as a

To establishbaseline data for intercultural development over the year abroad, we will specifically focus onthe impact of curricular interventions on students’ intercultural development after the course hasbeen established based on best practices in study abroad programming. The timeline forstreamlining course interventions is as follows: The internship course was redesigned in a few ofthe IEP country
