mitigate the problem. It was anticipated that the students would learnabout international business environment, cross cultural elements of engineering problems, andsustainable solutions. Students learning outcomes were evaluated using pre and post survey,focus group’s evaluation, and peer evaluation. A sensitivity analysis was also conducted tojustify effectiveness of new learning outcomes. All students agreed that the course projectincreased their knowledge and skills to solve engineering problems in global settings. About92% students responded that the project increased their interest about different cultures andmulti-perspective analysis, and 72% students, up 52% from pre-survey, said that the project washelpful understanding engineering and

)Students pair with one designed as the explainer and the other as the questioner. The explainersoutline the assignment goal (solve case studies, complex problems, or interpret text) and thenbegin detailed descriptions of how they should work on the assignment. The questioners listenand can also ask questions. At a given point, the students reverse roles and the process continuesuntil the assignment is concluded.16 Page 26.1372.4ii. Think-Pair-ShareThe instructor poses a problem and has the students think about it individually for a short time.The thinking time can also be used to write the response. The students then form pairs and sharetheir

physical projects (manually made or 3-D printed) simulating an ancient device of their choice.Results from student and peer evaluations are consistently favorable.I. Introduction How many people know that the first 3-D image in the history of humankind was created34,000 years ago by a ‘paleoengineer’ on the rock ceiling of a cave in Italy? How many of usknow that about 12,000 years ago, hafted tools contributed to the discovery of farming on amajor scale, allowing ancient ‘agricultural engineers’ to invent more effective farming tools?What about 10,000 years ago, when Mesolithic ‘mechanical engineers’ were able to createhypermicroliths (extremely small stone tools) with skills comparable to present-day diamondcutters, except without a
