paramount for U.S. engineers and researchers to develop the skills and backgroundnecessary to effectively work, communicate and innovate on an international scale and to be ableto collaborate on complex engineering and research projects with colleagues and collaboratorsacross the world. Countries such as China and India, by virtue of their size, are graduating everincreasing numbers of engineers and scientists each year and are making great strides inscientific research. The effects of the globalization of science, engineering and manufacturinghave been particularly felt in rust-belt states such as Michigan and Ohio where the loss of marketshare by the big three U.S. automakers has resulted in large job losses and a migration of agrowing number of

programs are a critical mechanism for enhancing teaching effectiveness(e.g., [9], [10], [11]). These programs aim to equip educators with the necessary skills andknowledge to improve their teaching methods, such as integrating technology, employinginnovative assessment strategies, and centering student learning [12]. Research indicates thatcomprehensive faculty development programs that include workshops, peer and studentfeedback, and communities of practice can significantly enhance faculty teaching abilities andstudent learning experiences [13]. In STEM, these programs offer faculty members theopportunity to engage with contemporary pedagogical theories and practices, participate in amulti-disciplinary learning community, practice active

The first-year seminar focuses on keyskills related to the transition to college. In subsequent years, the program shifts its focus toapplications, incorporating a community-based learning project and developing skills to findinternships and research opportunities.
