Finally, how this work dovetails with our implementation of a multi-disciplinaryintroductory quantum computing course running for the first time this Spring is also described.1. IntroductionEducational scholars widely agree that engaging students in authentic undergraduate researchexperiences is a high-impact pedagogical practice as it promotes student-centered learning andresults in several positive learning outcomes including improved problem-solving, critical-thinking, and communication skills [1], [2], [3]. Undergraduate research programs also help withpersonal development, giving students improved attitudes, self

students’ global competencies within the IRiKA program? 3. How do undergraduate and graduate engineering students differ in global competency development in the context of international research experience? The first research question addresses the core of the study's motivation. It seeks to explore thedirect impact of IRiKA. This inquiry is supported by literature highlighting the importance ofinternational experiences in enhancing cross-cultural skills and global awareness in engineeringeducation [6], [25]. This question aims to empirically examine how participation in a structuredinternational program like IRiKA contributes to developing global competencies, which areincreasingly recognized as crucial for engineers in a globalized

PBL as a pedagogy is an important tool for addressing disparitiesexisting between the capabilities with which engineering students graduate and those demandedby employers. Ideally, it enables ‘dual impact’ activities in which both technical and professionalskills can be developed concurrently
