online interactionswith global peers via a virtual project, intercultural awareness can be developed as well as moreeffective communication and collaboration skills. Research suggests that these experiences canguide students toward further global engagement and both professional and personaldevelopment later in their careers (Vahed et al., 2020). The pandemic has led to a rise in digitallearning tools and online teaching capabilities, but it has created challenges for connectionamong peers. At its core, education is human interaction. To create an environment in whichstudents can successfully learn remotely there needs to be a method for meaningful two-wayinteraction (Remote learning during COVID-19, 2023). In previous research, COIL teams

Learning hasalso been shown to improve students’ confidence, school engagement, and mental health(Greenberg et al., 2017). Additionally, students tend to benefit long-term and are better preparedfor higher education, more successful in their careers, and more engaged citizens (Greenberg etal., 2017). Tumaini students appear to reap many of these benefits: they felt that they were a partof a supportive community and that they learned a lot about themselves such as how to controltheir emotions, how to be comfortable with themselves, and how to express themselves. Since itis very important that students fully complete their industrial attachments to maximize theirbenefits from the program, the fact that students possess these soft skills speaks

Two exceptional educators reached out during the research to say that they were no longerin the country, having just begun their academic and professional careers abroad. These starkrealities were further expounded by the deans and provosts of the College of engineering whodiscussed how difficult it was to fill the entry-level positions of faculty in their engineeringprograms, most of whom, they claimed had decided to resign and continue their
