foundation to pursuehigher studies in SET subjects. . Despite this fact, the vast majority of high school graduateswould like to study courses that are related to SET subjects.The problems of existing higher education SET programmes in Afghanistan are thefollowing: i. Weak education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) at school level due to lack of an integrated approach. Science, technology, engineering and mathematics are taught as four separate subjects rather than an integration of STEM into a cohesive learning paradigm based on real-world applications. ii. Graduates from high schools in countries such as Afghanistan do not have the same exposure to the role of science and engineering

In particular, instructors for 20 ME courses, 9 ChE courses, two college-widecourses, and some graduate courses showed interest in using the developed modules in theircourses. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the developed modules in facilitating students’ learning,an anonymous college-wide survey was conducted via Survey Monkey in May 2018. The surveyincluded two sections. Section 1 contained five general questions that were focused on evaluatingthe improvement of student’s overall

the language is only a meansto social gains with very little interest in the culture or the community of people who speak thelanguage. On the contrary, the integrative orientation implies a personal involvement or desireto connect with the community that speaks the language, get access to its culture or evenbecome a member of the group. The former distinction is not supposed to be taken as amutually exclusive dichotomy since there is an element of instrumentality in the integrativeorientation [21] [22]. The remaining sections of this paper will present a study on language attitudes amongundergraduate students enrolled in an engineering public university.

Course contentsThe course material is divided into two sections as follows:Part I-An Introduction to Basic Python SkillsIn this course, students are expected to already know the basics of college algebra, trigonometry,and statistics. This section: 1. Describes how Python is applied in different disciplines of engineering and a standard problem-solving procedure is proposed. 2. Shows how to install Python from available platforms (i.e. Spyder IDE, Jupyter Notebook, and online platforms). 3. Introduces the commonly used libraries of Python in engineering. This section also details the wide variety of built-in functions that are available in each of these libraries. 4

All minority students and STEMstudents accounted for 28% and 25% respectively, in 2015/2016 [1]. The importance and benefitsof STEM students having an international experience has been well documented [2,3].Additionally, higher education is moving forward with embracing the concept of educatingengineers as a global citizen [4,5].The NYC-LSAMP (a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded initiative in operation at theCity University of New York) committed to integrating international activities into programactivities, and officially launched the activity in 2008 at the

Other nationshave developed engineering programs for their schools by combining science, mathematics, andtechnology subjects (Ritz & Fan, 2015). While all of these countries have demonstrated a similarcommitment to STEM education, each has differing national priorities for an education system;therefore, the outcomes have been likewise different. Furthermore, Ritz and Fan (2015) suggested that there are many reasons why STEMeducation is vital across cultures, specifically within K-12 school curriculum. According

countries, higher education institutions in Latin American arestill dominated by the concept of a ‘traditional education’ that emphasize the transmission ofdisciplinary contents and the paramount role of professors inside the classroom. This modelfocuses more on what is it taught (contents and topics of different subjects), and less on whatstudent will be able to do and how will be able to use acquired knowledge and skills in his or herprofessional life after graduating the program.To switch the traditional focus from teaching to learning is not easy since it implies theassumption of new curriculum concepts that should lead and assure an effective learning [7].It is worth noting, for example, that in some Latin American countries where academic

UNI provides local resources, faculty, coordination andlocal students. At Penn State, the Cross-cultural Engagement and STEM Program has beenadded as a faculty-led program in its portfolio of approved perennial study abroad programs.The Cross-cultural Engagement and STEM Program represents a joint educational initiative,focusing on cultural immersion, exchange and STEM activities between Penn State and UNI.
