Consequently, many of the respondents will be directly engaged with Leanimplementations or practices during their daily work.A sample of convenience was chosen to execute this project. Given the connections to several academicinstitutions, both stateside and abroad, the authors targeted a select group of American and Germanuniversities.

In 2012, that changed when Dwyer and Peters working for theInstitute for the International Education of Students completed the first large-scale surveyexploring the long-term impact of study abroad. They analyzed data from over 3,400respondents and found that study abroad is a defining moment in a student’s life and hasa lifelong impact on personal growth, intercultural development, as well as educationaland career attainment2.Goodman also from the Institute of International Education (IIE) says that beyond this,study abroad also cultivates global leaders4.

With students typically alreadyspending a great deal on a textbook, requiring them to also purchase a clicker (the model we use Page 25.479.8runs about $35 if purchased on line from the vendor) is difficult to ask. Our implementation ofthis technology has been school wide and therefore all classes that are using clickers are usingthe same model.

real-world problems that are interdisciplinary in nature typicallyhave limited exposure, at an early undergraduate level, to tools and methods that are available forrigorously and systematically examining these challenges. The development of analytical skillsfor addressing such problems has been primarily offered in graduation education. However,undergraduate engineering students are increasingly interested in working on contemporarychallenges earlier in their careers. Students entering engineering programs today are more awareand better equipped for conducting sophisticated analysis due to their access to information,knowledge and tools that previously were not available to prior generations. It is thereforeimportant – both for retaining
