creatively and effectively. Leaders alsoneed to constantly develop skills and intellectual tools to understand soft skills or people skillsand build relationships internally [48]. Results of Gitsham et al.’s [28] survey of CEOs and other executives focus on how softskills and hard skills are beneficial for leaders at all levels of the organization. Specifically,acquisition of interpersonal skills may provide added benefits of knowing and understanding ofhow to interact with people with different cultures and apply the skills to improve organizationalperformance. Soft skills are a set of interpersonal and social skills, whereas hard skills includethe technical or administrative procedures in which the results are quantifiable and measurable[43
perspectives and cross-cultural skills such as the InterculturalDevelopment Inventory (IDI) [8], Miville Guzman Universality Diversity Scale (MGUD-S) [9],and the Engineering Global Preparedness Index (EGPI) [10]. The global perspectives ofengineering students in this study was measured via the Global Perspective Inventory (GPI) [11].This instrument was used because it closely aligns with global perspective constructs the studyaims to measure. The GPI is also a validated instrument and widely used for a basis forcomparison against non-engineers. Additionally, a number of studies have used the GPI toexamine the impact of study abroad experiences with consistent results and strong statisticalreliability and validity [11, 12, 13].

) was used to measure ethnocentrism and the Miville-Guzman Universality-Diversity Scale – Short Form (M-GUDS-S) was used to measure three subscales: Diversity ofContact, Relativistic Appreciation, and Comfort with Differences (Miville et al., 1999; Fuertes etal., 2000). Both of these instruments use Likert scales, which introduces uncertainty in theintervals between scale points. The Likert scale data was treated as ordinal and a nonparametricMann-Whitney U-test was used to determine group differences based on Mean Rank. Data werematched for pre/post, resulting in 18 paired data sets (11 US students and 7 Central Asianstudents).Significant differences were identified between Mean Rank of students from the US universityand students from the

highlyrecommended that Afghanistan gains an insight from examples of good practice in STEMeducation adopted by adjacent countries which have experienced somewhat similar issues.It is a huge task for the people of Afghanistan to overcome the catastrophic destruction oftheir institutions and educational infrastructure and to address the above issues. This taskcannot be accomplished without significant contribution from the international community. Inorder for the Afghan population to take a role in their country’s present reconstructionprojects, the Afghan government needs to be proactive in attracting international assistance inbuilding its human capacity.References[1].

choice questions, wereavoided. The main intention was to entice engineering students to analytically solve engineeringproblems from scratch in a regular, classic way, i.e. by typically partitioning the problem intophases or threads and solving each phase sequentially until reaching the final answer(s). Anadditional motivation for this objective was the desire to offer engineering students the chance togain partial credits if they manage to solve parts of the problem. In Blackboard, one questiontype that appears to suit this multi-thread partitioning is called “Fill in Multiple Blanks” questiontype. However, unlike the “Calculated Numeric” type of questions (also available onBlackboard), the Fill in Multiple Blanks type of questions does not
