-independency that is expected from graduate students when it comesto research. Some of the students anticipated more guidance and/or daily contact with the facultyhost and felt a little lost at the beginning. Better preparing the students for that environment willallow them to engage in the research project and adjust to the lab environment more quickly.The program was designed to provide intensive language training in the morning. For that, thecollaboration of Texas A&M University’s English Language Institute was crucial. The EnglishLanguage Institute integrated the 50 students into their regular summer session while creating atailored TOEFL preparation class for the group and designating conversation partners that wouldaddress each student’s

programdevelops academic, research, and local experiences for the group of participating students. As aresult, both institutions' collaborations at the research level are expected, promoting futuresimilar programs at the graduate level as well. The program is interdisciplinary, allowing forcollaboration between different engineering disciplines while addressing the same technicalissue. The collaboration assumes culture and knowledge combined can create the type ofintegrated environment best suited for research. The topic of renewable energy will be exploredand studied, and also examined through lenses designed for sustainable innovations. Page 19.9.4All

about studying, doing research and/or interningabroad for a longer term at a more advanced stage of their studies. We will present J-termcourses to Chile, France and Germany and the outcomes of the Sojourn Readiness Assessmenttool we used to measure if students made any gains in their preparedness to go abroad.Summer faculty-led service learning programs are effective modules to keep students’ interest inthings international while getting practical experience in applying their technical and languageskills and have them engage with a new culture and engineering environment in a protected butintensive way. A summer service learning project in Guatemala will be showcased.The two short-term modules described above lead up to a year-long study
