attributes for global engineers based on Washington AccordGenerally speaking, PBL programs are also effective for acquiring Washington Accord 11 GraduateAttribute Profile (WA11GAP), which are essential requirements for future global engineers [8]. (1) Engineering Knowledge (2) Problem Analysis (3) Design/development of solutions (4) Investigation (5) Tool Usage (6) The Engineer and the World (7) Ethics (8) Individual and Collaborative Team work (9) Communication (10) Project Management and Finance (11) Lifelong learningThese 11 items comprise a comprehensive set of knowledge, skillsets, and mindsets. Because of the designflexibility, it is sufficient to incorporate these items into PBL course contents. In the case of this techno-socio PBL, this

participant chosen for purposeful sampling has the capacity toexplain a certain theme, idea, or experience [22]. Consequently, the data was collected from atotal of eight students. Five undergraduate students were in their first year of study, and threewere in their second year, majoring in computer science and electrical engineering at a privateBangladeshi University. All ethical considerations were maintained by the fifth author accordingto the institutional requirement. After removing the identities to maintain privacy and anonymity,the fifth author collected and shared data.

This means that the applicant needs to get involved indiscussion and negotiation about the visit dates so that the visit is beneficial for the host institution.It is always beneficial if you have any prior contact and understanding with the Dean and/orDepartment chair of the host institution, if they are familiar with your work, work ethic, andcapabilities then agreeing on the visit dates, and project details is easy step and can be veryproductive. This initial contact can also help you discuss specific activities that you might beinterested in conducting during your visit to the host institution. In your application, you need to explain how relevant or beneficial your work will be for thehost institution

For most students, this wastheir first or second design-heavy course; thus, learning to define the problem and develop adesign project was demanding. The concept of "People" was highlighted as an opportunity forstudents to enhance their work ethic by collaborating with a diverse international team. Thischallenge allowed individuals to adapt to different leadership styles and work dynamically withothers.Figure 4.

Principles and EnergySystems. Conservation Principles is a foundational chemical engineering course based on the ideas ofmass conservation in simplified industrial processes. This course starts by introducing students to theideas of chemical composition and mass balances. From there, we venture to diagrams of chemicalmixing tanks. As the course progresses, intricacies arise, including reactants or bypasses, multiple intakes,or recycles and purges. Energy systems was an overarching course based on surface-levelenergy-producing engineering processes. The course continued with the ideas of batteries, magnetism,and combustion to the different kinds of electrical systems. Furthermore, as each system was discussed,ethical debates on producing these power

In addition to these two economics-oriented modules, in-class activities ontopics of global engineering ethics, culture, DEIB and mental health issues while traveling, likelyexperiences in other cultures, and appropriate technology are included. Because lecture onlyhappens once per week and the class covers a wide range of topics, each topic is intended to bean introduction to the material. Students who are interested in any of the topics are encouraged toseek out additional courses or minors in the area of interest. The following modules are thereforeintended to
