attributes for global engineers based on Washington AccordGenerally speaking, PBL programs are also effective for acquiring Washington Accord 11 GraduateAttribute Profile (WA11GAP), which are essential requirements for future global engineers [8]. (1) Engineering Knowledge (2) Problem Analysis (3) Design/development of solutions (4) Investigation (5) Tool Usage (6) The Engineer and the World (7) Ethics (8) Individual and Collaborative Team work (9) Communication (10) Project Management and Finance (11) Lifelong learningThese 11 items comprise a comprehensive set of knowledge, skillsets, and mindsets. Because of the designflexibility, it is sufficient to incorporate these items into PBL course contents. In the case of this techno-socio PBL, this

These outcomes include the ability to identify, formulate, and solve complexengineering problems; apply engineering design to produce solutions that consider publichealth, safety, welfare, and various global, cultural, social, environmental, and economicfactors; effectively communicate with various audiences; recognize ethical and professionalresponsibilities and make informed judgments; function effectively in a team setting andprovide leadership, establish goals, plan

perhaps expected because the course hasa different structure compared to traditional engineering courses. For most students, this wastheir first or second design-heavy course; thus, learning to define the problem and develop adesign project was demanding. The concept of "People" was highlighted as an opportunity forstudents to enhance their work ethic by collaborating with a diverse international team. Thischallenge allowed individuals to adapt to different leadership styles and work dynamically withothers.Figure 4. How were you challenged in this bilingual, international engineering course?The fourth prompt in the video was asking the students if they would recommend this courseto other students (Figure 4). They all responded yes, with many
incorporates “an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities inengineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact ofengineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts” into therequired educational objectives [2]. A rigorous exploration into the term global competenciesdefines these abilities as global awareness, global understanding, and the ability to effectivelyapply intercultural knowledge [3].Study abroad programs which involve traveling to a destination have historically been one of theprimary approaches to cultivate global competencies. Other methods include virtual study abroadprograms and the Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) model, which

presented as an in-class activity during one of the 65-minute lectureperiods. There are usually two sections of the class offered every year with between 15 and 25students per section. In addition to these two economics-oriented modules, in-class activities ontopics of global engineering ethics, culture, DEIB and mental health issues while traveling, likelyexperiences in other cultures, and appropriate technology are included. Because lecture onlyhappens once per week and the class covers a wide range of topics, each topic is intended to bean introduction to the material. Students who are interested in any of the topics are encouraged toseek out additional courses or minors in the area of interest. The following modules are thereforeintended to
ethical researchprotocols, the researchers employed a multifaceted approach to ensure the transparency of thefindings presented in this study. This included utilizing well-validated measures throughout thestudy to enhance reliability and conducting inter-rater reliability checks to guaranteeconsistency in data collection. To further strengthen the validity of their conclusions, the studyincorporated triangulated data from multiple sources, including one-on-one interviews and athorough review of relevant academic scholarly journals.Results The following four themes emerged from the data analyses and in-depth case studyinterviews. First, institutional support and leadership commitment via female STEMmentorship programs appear to be pivotal factors
