To begin, there is the problem of scaling up. Even generousestimates suggest that only about 5% of American engineering students have a substantial globalexperience during their undergraduate years, while others assert that only 10-15% of U.S.engineering schools are taking global education seriously.11,14 Persistent barriers to expandingglobal engineering education – ranging from financial considerations and inflexible curricula to alack of institutional support and language issues – are well documented.6 But even as these kindsof

While class performance improved with theproportion of adult students, these students graduate at a lower rate than traditional students.Social integration was identified as a key to retention since anxiety leads to questioning abilitiesand thus stunted performance. Interviews revealed that Adult learners viewed themselves asmore experienced, more career focused, and less interested in social activities than the traditionalstudents.

Khan Academy videos are notrecommended for people experienced with the subject at hand, as Khan gives thebasics only. However, if students wish to refresh their skills, Khan Academy is agreat place to go to, due to its exercises and videos. Khan Academy is a greatplace to learn, as Khan rewards you for learning more. A small improvementwould be the 'review' system- after a student has completed a set of exercises,after a while, Khan Academy marks the exercise as needing review. Students haveto go through the entire set of exercises again to get rid of the review marker.Another MOOC which is rapidly gaining traction in their course offerings

It has arisen at a time when the term chat had a negative connotation. Today it is occasionally also extended to mean audio, video conferencing or instant messaging systems, given they provide a text-based multi-user chat function. The word synchronous in this case is not to be considered a technical term, but rather describing how it is perceived by humans – chat happens in real time before your eyes.- Wiki enables participants to work together on web pages to add, expand and change

A recent 5comparison of ISD students to traditional senior design students illustrates this point. Whereas ISDstudents reported a 10% higher self-rating of technical writing and speaking abilities, ISD studentsdemonstrated an eleven-fold ability over their traditional senior design peers (87% correct versus 8%on a post-project quiz) to understand the global and societal context

Third, each student in the class completes a questionnaire about the course, itsactivities, and their experiences, including peer collaboration and contributions.

However, our research found several unique challenges for this specific population. Onemajor challenge came from the “Chinese common knowledge” expectation they received fromChinese people. Another main challenge stems deeply and powerfully from inside themselves:the rediscovery of their self-identity.In our study, several Asian American participants agree that Chinese people’s expectation thatthey are “Chinese” because of their appearance create unexpected cultural challenges ordiscomforts that the other ethnic groups often do not face.
