careers in organizations that have a global orinternational focus need to be culturally competent. Cultural competence (the ability to interacteffectively with people from other cultures and socio-economic backgrounds) can be achievedthrough interactions with colleagues and people from other cultures, and through experiences abroad.Our university's Graduate Student Development unit has added workshops on international careeropportunities and preparation for working in other countries through our graduate studentprofessional development workshop series. The Graduate School, the Office of Postdoctoral Affairs,and PROMISE: Maryland’s National Science Foundation's Alliance the Graduate Education and theProfessoriate (AGEP) co-sponsor these activities

A co-op program with four phases and multipleactivity/training segments at a large teaching hospital has been very successful with students fromthree universities in U.S., France and Canada. Other students did their co-op at a research center,with service contractors, or with project teams on commissioning and installation of specializedequipment. These students generally prepared a written report with appropriate approvalemployers.With the proposed co-op model, graduates are better trained in the BME field. They get valuableexperience of understanding real life problems and participating in solving them. They can assestheir own interests and develop necessary practical skills to succeed in their careers. Some studentscan

Many noted the importance of the program for further career growth and thedevelopment of interest to regular skills development. In groups where the representatives ofvarious specialized enterprises were getting their training, the students felt it was important anduseful to exchange their opinions with colleagues.

IntroductionStudying overseas has a deep and profound impact on the intellectual development of faculty andstudents and help them become better aware of other cultures and environments. Internationalexperiences are needed in today’s society to shape the lives of engineering students, and preparethem for a world that is increasingly moving toward a global marketplace, especially in the civilengineering and construction industries. “Most engineers at some point in their careers will workwith colleagues in foreign countries, either as co-workers, customers, or suppliers.

Especially the need for trained professionals in thefields of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) increased within the lastdecade. Like many nations, United States of America is striving to create opportunities toincrease the number of professionals in the fields of engineering and technology. 2 According to2013 Spectrum Forecasters STEM Survey Report 76% of the survey takers stated that a career inSTEM gives people opportunity to make a difference while only 22.2% thought that a career inSTEM provides a job security. 3 In United States, the science and mathematics classes are

It is for this reason that educational institutions need to adapt to changingdemands if they are to prepare their students for what will be expected of them as they begintheir professional careers. At the undergraduate level, laboratory courses are often where newtechnology and teaching methods are integrated into the curriculum. However, since the 1970s,many institutions have decreased the quantity or consolidated laboratory courses offered in aneffort to curb increasing costs.

inclusion of this channel in the modified delivery system has many advantages, including thecapacity to improve student engagement by emphasizing relevance to their future careers.(Woolley, Rose, Orthner, Akos, & Jones-Sanpei, 2013). While this deficiency could easily beaddressed through integration of applied content within the core delivery system, it was decided toisolate its delivery within recitation meetings, with only limited review of the associated contentprovided within lecture as necessary. The purpose of isolating the two types of content delivery istwo-fold. Namely, through isolating delivery channels, the system becomes increasingly adaptable,allowing for adjustments in the blend of individual content delivery type. This
