This study seeks to explore the intricate processes through which globalcompetencies are developed among engineering students at both undergraduate and graduate levelswho possess varying levels of research experience in microelectronics. Through the lens of threeresearch questions, the study examines the influence of the International Research Initiative inKnowledge and Academia (IRiKA) on the global

their families is correlated with increases inacademic success, as measured by retention, progression (GPA and courses completed), and 4- to6-year graduation rates, for both computer engineering and computer science students. We havedemonstrated these effects in a dually designated Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) and AsianAmerican and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institution (AANAPISI) and have doneso as a pilot study for other, including similar, institutions as well as other STEM fields.AcknowledgmentsThis work was funded in part by NSF Grant #1742607.References[1] Fernández, E., Rincón, B.
