As stated previously, the MEAs are activities that intend to simulatereal-word client-driven scenarios in a team-based collaborative environment [4].

. Sustainability is an important issue for any organization in thetwenty first century and has become an integral part of the engineering practices and policies.Engineers have a critical role to achieve this with sustainable development. Engineers should notignore the challenges and opportunities that arise from the needing sustainability development,and sustainability is a key driver for new directions in engineering all the way from design tomanufacturing. Systems thinking, problem-finding, visualizing, improving, creative problem-solving and adaptability are the six types of cognitive abilities that engineering students need todevelop as identified by the Royal Academy of Engineering [1].

We also saw a significant increase in the number of students that wantedto pursue careers in biomedical engineering.

Students of color andmore often African American college students at predominantly white institutions are oftenalready vulnerable to such negativism. Since study abroad is rarely required as part of theundergraduate curriculum, they are more likely to decline the opportunity even in the presence ofother incentives [11], [6].
