Most programs are thoughtfully designed and carefully implemented, but they are seldom rigorously and scientifically evaluated for their educational impact. Does learning a second language really matter? How long and what kinds of international experiences are best? Should international coursework be required? What subjects are needed and when should they be taken? Increasing the knowledge base of proven theories and effective practices for instilling global competence in engineering graduates, indeed all graduates, needs to be a major priority [p. 41].These problems in the current efforts in preparing students for the global

Frameworks centering GIDBEA, namely inclusive design,universal design, and design justice were introduced, challenging students to consider howtechnical and emergent biases arise in their work as engineers and educators [21]. UGTAs wereplaced into small groups of approximately UGTAs to discuss the following questions: • How do you define the practice of design? • Think about who is designing for whom. How and why does this matter? • What are examples of bias and exclusions in engineering design?With an introduction to these design frameworks, UGTAs then analyzed engineering projectsthat applied the above frameworks using asset-based community development and participatorydesign. This discussion then led to a reflection
