Students were directed to undertake engineeringdesigns in specialized areas of transportation engineering, technology and management. Designtopics related to these areas ranged from Flexible Pavements, Rigid Pavements, Asphalt PavingTechnology and Pavement Rehabilitation, to Signalized Traffic Intersections. These topicscovered not only conventional transportation systems but also intelligent transportation systems.The students’ presentations were peer-graded.The extent of improvement in design, discovery, and learning was documented extensively byapplying appropriate statistical tests.

host schools. Colleges and universities in the United States have become increasingly reliant on international students to fill Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)-related graduate programs and support their STEM-related research agendas and patent generation. Moreover, because demand among foreign students for a U.S. degree seems unlimited, many colleges and universities have seen them as a quick fix for offsetting lagging interest among domestic students in graduate education, especially in STEM fields. These international students represent real revenues and significant enrollments. According to the latest data from National Center for Educational Statistics
