Many students pursue undergraduate and graduate degree programs to enhance their jobprospects [1]. For many, this is the primary driver influencing their decision to continue theirstudies after high school [1]. In the United States, higher education is increasingly expensive [2].To justify the expense, many students likely increasingly want assurance that their professionalsuccess will be enriched, financially and in other ways. Despite professional success being a primary driver of students attending highereducation, engineering courses often still focus on theory [3]–[5]. Students complete homeworkand maybe in-class problems. There is likely an assumption (often implicit, in my experience)that these problems are relevant to the

The challenges and gains of adopting the approach and how to transferto other programs will be further discussed.IntroductionThe chemical engineering field has expanded, resulting in an increased gap between academiaand industry [1-3].

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

Furthermore, recent work on engineering and technology students'perceptions of using new technology suggests an over-focus on technical aspects within thoseprograms, to the detriment of social implications [2].Considering the societal impact of the built environment on the population, this lag seemsunjustified and concerning.

Of this population 597 millionlive in sub-Saharan Africa [1]. The opportunity for providing off-grid access to electricity to ruralcommunities has been demonstrated through solar powered mini-grids [2,3]. These systems typicallycomprise a set of solar panels, batteries to provide electricity when solar power is not available, e.g. atnight, and may employ a fossil-fueled generator to also provide backup power.
