To present students with the basic status and development trends of theirmajor, the class committee has invited related professionals to give lectures. Besides, duringthe field-wide remote sensing experiments, students designed their experimental schemes insmall groups and shared their views.3.

other perspectives, enhance skills in quality leadership andprovide preparation for leadership positions, and underscores the importance of non-technicalcommunication skills. Successful global engineering programs provide a curriculum that teachesstudents about the contemporary states of the engineering profession in the foreign country andprovides an opportunity to interact with engineering from other countries [3].A pilot engineering boot camp/study abroad program-Building Bridges for New Innovators inEngineering (BBNIE), was developed to prepare an increased number of STEM graduatestudents for employment in today’s globalized workforce.

. This course, ENGR 365 Global Engineering andTechnology, also has the potential to be offered on campus with an internationalized curriculumfor students who cannot afford a trip, although we have not offered it on campus yet. The travelcourse approval has been a crucial step in this initiative, as this course is in the world culturecategory (one of the required liberal studies curriculum categories, but students have manycourse choices in each category on campus), open to all the students on campus who areinterested in how cultures affect engineering designs and sustainability plans, but not just open toengineering and technology students. This step poured the foundation for interdisciplinarycollaborations among faculty, staff, and students

)AbstractResearch has shown that study abroad yields the greatest educational outcomes for interculturalcompetency when it is couched in a curriculum that encourages preparation before and reflectionafter the abroad experience. To enhance the educational outcomes of engineering students’ studyabroad experiences, we developed a certificate program that couples an abroad experience withadditional coursework in global topics and a reflection assignment. The certificate program isbased on a similar program at Northern Arizona University, and is otherwise rare in our peerschools. The goal of the program is to encourage students to engage in coursework and experiencesthat cultivate cultural competency, and to recognize students’ efforts when they do so. In

In the preparation process of more than three years, it further clarifiedthe talents cultivation goals, further standardized the curriculum system, improved thelaboratory environment and conditions, strengthened safety management and education, andimproved the level of experimental teaching and student service. The college formallyapplied for accreditation in January 2015, submitted a self-assessment report in July 2015,and completed an on-site assessment in October 2015. It showed course materials, studentachievements, software and hardware facilities, and teacher and

internationalopportunities. However, few universities have international programs integrated within theirSTEM curriculum [3]. There has been research that the need for global experiences within theengineering curriculum are necessary to achieve students with global competence. Warnick(2010) identified the following eight categories of engineering global competence [9]: 1. Exhibit a global mindset 2. Appreciate an understand different cultures 3. Demonstrate world and local knowledge 4. Communicate cross-culturally 5. Speak more than one language including English 6. Understand international business, law, and technical elements 7.

being able to talk with the UNI students about their current engineeringprojects as well as their aspirations for future careers has introduced me to completely amazing andinnovative ideas. It makes me excited to see what I will do and become in the future as an aerospaceengineer. I also hope to be involved in international projects.”“In the beginning I wondered where we were going with the programming on MBlock (what kind ofproject/what the programming could do) but the SGDs tied it all together. Overall, there were not anyquestions I felt I couldn't ask within this program. The integration of students from the UNI made us PennState students establish a comfort level within the local City, and within the engineering program. Also,the
