The assignments included how to write abstracts, how to effectivelyincorporate figures and tables into writing, quoting and paraphrasing, citing sources, and so on.Two major papers that were related to the students’ final project went through three drafts,including an outline with a complete list of sources. Students could choose their own topic for thepapers. If they had difficulty to decide one, the instructors would provide a list of suggested topicsfor them. These included, for example, effects of tire thread pattern on the car performance, dragreduction using streamlined body, best practice in lubrication, … etc. The students struggled withthe research, as it was almost entirely in the target language

While further deep analysis of the collected data still has to been done, it isreasonable to assume that it was the curricular design of the program the majority of the seniorssurveyed from University of Rhode Island were enrolled in - its five-year dual BachelorInternational Engineering Program – mattered in terms of its impact on student performance in theGPI.The International Engineering Program at URI was conceived in 1987. The program was originallydesigned as a dual degree program for German and Engineering majors; students receivedbachelor’s degrees in the language as well as in their engineering discipline. Key
