globally focused experiences outscored those who did not.Notably, the mean EGPI score of students who reported study abroad was significantly higherthan that of those who did not study abroad. In contrast, participation in second-languagecourses, projects or internships abroad, or having an international roommate did not reveal astatistically significant difference in students’ EGPI or GPI performance.Stepwise regression analysis was used to determine potential relationships among studentexperiences and their global preparedness. The regression results indicated that the combinationof such experiences including engineering focused service learning, study abroad, and non-engineering course(s) with a global focus accounted for approximately 12% of

Page 26.1149.2difficulties, the process of analyzing ethnographic data is often one of the most difficult steps forresearchers to navigate during the research process. Much of this confusion comes from attemptsto demonstrate an understanding of what was actually observed.In their seminal book, “Writing Ethnographic Fieldnotes,” Emerson, Fretz, and Shaw2 discusstechniques for writing effective fieldnotes in a variety of observational settings. They state thatfieldnotes can often be written from multiple perspectives. Using a first-person point of view,researchers are able to describe specifically what they observe or experience during the datacollection process. This is particularly useful when the researcher is a member of the group s/heis

Page 26.1608.4 Graduate students’ views on teaching are in part a result of their departmental culture,revolving around the perceived status of who teaches and who doesn’t. Even though Feldon etal.’s study on graduate student teaching presents “direct, performance-based evidence ofimprovement on specific research skills associated with teaching experiences that complementtraditional graduate research training”[16], teaching is still considered a separate role withoutpositive impacts on research or the faculty career. In many engineering departments, there is aperception that teaching is “grunt work

In addition, the majority of students’ activities in the Learning Center thatsupported their engineering coursework included working on team design projects, using thenetwork computers, attending a special first-year class, using the 3D printers, using hand tools tobuild a project, using the space to meet with classmates, and getting help from teaching assistantsand faculty members.
