engineering is continuously developing anddemands a workforce of engineers with the competency to perform across nations [2], [3]. For an engineer to achieveglobal competency, they must be able to work effectively with people who define problems and whose approach towardsfinding a solution to these problems are different than oneself [4]. Researchers have been challenged to define what makes aglobally competent engineer and what attributes an exemplary global engineer would encompass [2], [5]–[8]. In summary,a global engineer must demonstrate competency in technical, global, and professional aspects. Technical competency isachieved by demonstrating knowledge of the engineering science fundamentals, project management skills, and innovation [5].Global

Removing the need to find a single correct answer reduced studentstress and provided more autonomy in the project. Other students stated that they appreciatedhaving clearly defined goals in a project as it gave them more structure. This was especially trueon graded assignments. “I like projects more. They're less stressful because you get to like, one, do something you want to do, if it’s like, an open-ended project.

To facilitate thisconnection, students were tasked to develop designs for robots that related to themes in MaryShelley’s Frankenstein. As they read the novel, students reflected on certain passages theythought could serve as thematic inspiration for robot design concepts.
