developed and ran for 8 years a faculty-led international program to Brazil focused on Sustainable Energy and Brazilian Culture. This program educates students on the effects of various energy systems and the challenges of social and environmental justice in developing countries. In 2017, Dr. Pfluger moved into the ChE department where she implemented improvements in the Transport 2 Lab and Capstone courses. She assists Capstone students to develop dynamic design projects that ad- dress and help solve real-world, global challenges. Dr. Pfluger has served as the AIChE Student Chapter Faculty Advisor for 10 years and is chair of the AIChE Student Chapter Committee. She is a Math- works Teaching Fellow and has won serval

, the program members canbenefit from local partnerships to grant access to a copious amount of resources for the solepurpose of designing and creating vehicles.Student AdvantagesThrough the development of the Rover, students gain hands on experience and real-worldapplication which makes them appealing to employers. Many of these students are ahead of theirclassmates in several courses because they are trained in programs like “Inventor” during thedesign phase of the Rover. Seniors that assist in the design and manufacturing of the Roverchoose to use the Rover as their Senior Capstone Project. These students gain recognition fortheir hard work when the vehicle enters the competition. Along with the various awards thesestudents receive, there

Competence for Engineering Formation (Work in Progress)1. IntroductionThe purpose of this project is to determine to what extent global engineering competence can bedeveloped in engineering students through the use of four minimally to moderately intensiveglobal engagement interventions. The specific global engagement interventions evaluatedinclude the use of international engineering case studies in a quantitative analysis course, theintentional formation of multinational student design teams within a capstone design course, aCollaborative Online International Learning (COIL) research project in a fluid flow (transportphenomena) course, and an engineering short course coupled to a community engaged project.The specific

I also served as an examiner to evaluate final projects for MS inComputer Science program. I also evaluated project reports for these projects and suggestedchanges to projects and reports to improve their quality. I also conducted student advising that wasboth formal and informal. This advising was sometimes as faculty teaching courses and at timesas examiner of the capstone projects. During my Fulbright grant at the host institution, because of my vast academic experience, Iwas asked to provide my services on committees at various levels. At the college level, I servedon

Outside of thecourse, the students also work on a research project with RUB graduate students. There is noexplicit cultural learning in the course.The technical University of Denmark (DTU) is a public technical university. It offers the UO labcourse to multiple U.S. institutions in the summer. Virginia Tech students have been enrollingsince 2007. It is the leading technological university of Denmark with internationally knownresearch [16]. DTU is in a distant suburb of Copenhagen and the university has about 7,000undergraduate students. The program runs for four weeks and is
