colleges and universities continue to expand and refine global learning opportunitiesfor engineering students they face a complex array of challenges [1]. As one among many suchconcerns, administrators and other stakeholders increasingly expect that costly investments ininternational programming generate substantial benefits and impacts, including but not limited togrowing the number of students served. Further, many programs are being asked to produce hardevidence of how research, work, study, and service abroad can enhance student learning andgrowth, synergistic with rising accountability pressures across the higher education landscape.Fortunately, dozens of assessment instruments are available to measure many different facets ofinter/cross

/presentation.Importance of SustainabilityRay Anderson was known as an industrial engineer and radical industrialist and America’sGreenest CEO [1]. He defined sustainability as “survival” - survival for his company, for thisnation, and even for our species [1]. In 1994, Anderson began transforming his petroleum intensemodular tile carpet company, Interface, Inc., from the “take-waste-make business model” into anorganization with a goal of a zero-environmental footprint, set for 2020 [1]. The Interface Inc.journey and success is proof that any corporation can truly work towards a zero-environmentalfootprint, be competitive, lead the industry, and make a profit. In fact, according to Anderson,companies can lead the way towards sustainability [1].Sustainability is

In addition, Icarus students have higher levelsof aspirations on how well they will do in their engineering courses, and higher levels of deep learning whencompared to other non-Icarus engineering students in the same year.

Universities are under pressure to integrate additional technicalcontent into engineering curricula, while simultaneously experiencing pressure to graduatestudents on time and to reduce the number of credits required for graduation [2]. In the year2000, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (now ABET Inc.) put newstandards in place. The new system shifted from one of counting credits and was superseded byan “outcomes-based process,” in which educational institutions must demonstrate that graduatespossess a breadth of abilities, such as the ability to work in teams and communicate acrossdisciplines, as well as possess a technical depth of knowledge [3].

Among manychallenges faced by those students (related to their different cultures, languages and social habits),the most demanding are the settlement in the new environment, the adaptation of their informationprocesses and communication skills [2].
