teamwork. Reflective Teachingand Transformative Reflection have been central to the evolution of this program. Using acombination of instructor observations, constant reflection, and student feedback, it has been Page 19.16.10possible to build a two-course program that achieves in 5 weeks what a typical capstone designcourse will achieve in 8 months. Moreover, the immersion aspect of the courses coupled withthe international exposure make this approach to teaching and learning for engineering students asomewhat fascinating and often life-changing experience.REFERENCES1.

(2013) this is still happening [3]. A reason why this continues to be an issue may be a gap in theliterature with the lack of papers describing best practices on recruiting and retaininginternational students [3]. Considering that, in 2013 Özturgut (2013) implemented a study to look Page 19.19.3into this issue and wrote an initial study on those best practices. The summary of the results arebelow: Best Practices in Recruiting International Students that emerged from Özturgut (2013)’s study on international student recruitment are: 1. Providing academic support and utilizing campus resources; 2. Attending and participating in

receiving a STEM tool. Typically, a STEM field teacher in the school is the primary point of contact and specifies concepts that the STEM tool should convey. 2. With the initial request, desires, and STEM tool requirements provided by the K-12 school and teacher(s), the engineering design students develop initial concepts and visit the K-12 classroom. During the initial visit, the engineering students introduce themselves and present early design efforts. Additionally, a market survey is administered to the K-12 students and teacher(s), in order to involve them in the design process and specifics of the resulting STEM tool. Market survey questions range from “what color would you like the
