increases our sample range and will enrich our study by enabling us to understandhow these results might be different and/or similar across different types of institutions. Second,we intend to expand our sources of data to include students as participants in our study. Webelieve this is important for the triangulation of our data. Hence, we intend to interview studentsto understand how they perceive the study abroad program’s marketing materials.References[1] S. Jorgenson and L.

Education, 2021 Cultural dimensions in academic disciplines, a comparison between Ecuador and the United States of AmericaAbstractBroadening participation in engineering has been part of the engineering education researchagenda for years. We argue that if we can understand the traits of the different dimensions ofculture in engineering, we can identify potential solutions to broaden participation. In this study,we are comparing how engineering students from Ecuador and the United States characterizetheir culture orientation based on Hofstede´s cultural dimensions theory. Data were collectedwith engineering students at major polytechnic universities in Ecuador and the United States.The survey was translated into Spanish for the

cultural knowledge. • A necessary key to success is selecting a proper class variety to maximize students’ eligibility to apply. Classes offered abroad should be as many as possible to maximize the supply, but of course, each class has a cost and is bound by the availability of the instructor(s). An ideal compromise is 4-5 classes, to allow willing and fully eligible students to complete a full Spring semester of face-to-face learning abroad. At the same time, some of the interested students might not be attracted to all classes, so it is imperative to broaden the supply with available online courses. This would greatly increase the eligibility, interest, and applications to the program from multiple

time to explore on their own can be a key aspect of developing thesecompetencies. Beyond the travel component, we consider the academic aspect of these types ofprograms (i.e., courses associated with it) and also intentionally design learning activities thatallow students to obtain complementary learning gains to what they are experiencing by the factof being abroad. Including self-reflection as part of the assignments have proven to help withawareness.References[1] B. K. Jesiek, Q. Zhu, S. E. Woo, J. Thompson, and A.

And while, COVID-19is unprecedented, there are some past trends that can contribute to our thinking about recoveryand provide hope for the future of student mobility.International comparative student mobility paints a similar picture. According to the IIE ProjectAtlas report, Top Host Countries throughout the world show that globally, student study abroadcontinues to rise after each major health crisis [6].
