The term typically refers to an overseas extension of ahigher education institution, either wholly owned and operated by the institution itself, orestablished as a collaborative venture with international institution as a partner [1]. They mayoffer a range of academic programs, including undergraduate and graduate degrees, as well ascertificate programs, language courses, and short-term study abroad opportunities. It wasreported that in 2017 there were 263
a joint international graduate sustainability program for civil engineers isdocumented followed by the rationale of the decision-making process as well as the challengesand benefits that were encountered along the way. The Program is currently a work-in-progressas of writing this document, but the authors are confident in its eventual success. Additionally,the Program reflects a further evolution in the partnership between the two involved universities.AcknowledgementThe authors wish to acknowledge the contributions of faculty and administrators at both theUniversity of Pécs and the Metropolitan State University of Denver that have helped develop andhave continually supported the partnership between the universities.References[1] Z.

thatsocially categorizes individuals, recognizes biological differentiation, creates social and culturaldifferences in behaviours, mannerisms, trait characteristics, and so on [13], [14]. Members ofgender groups form a set of social norms for evaluating the grouped individuals andstandardizing a set of beliefs about them (i.e., gender stereotypes) [14]. Gender stereotypes notonly reflect the general expectations about group members (e.g., boys, girls, men, and women),but also influence who they should be, how they perceive differences among each other, and howthey should behave [15].The concept of gender identity varies throughout the literature (e.g., [10], [14], [16], [17], [18]),with some researchers arguing that it is a stable concept and others
student instructors must be understanding because there could be traditions and cultural differences. Be professional, patient, and respectful to students in Communication with students before completing the investigation and hearing the reasons from students. • Keep every email professional, respectful, and concise. Avoid making excuses and focus on finding a resolution. Use proper email etiquette and address your instructor with appropriate respect. • Offer a solution for completing the assignment and make up the work to gain full credit, such as submitting it with a penalty for lateness or proposing an alternative assignment demonstrating your understanding of the material. • Reflect on the
abroad participation. The international diversity of a major has not been explored previously in relation to study abroad participation, but we Percentage of US Citizens thought it might be related either by encouraging participation by US citizens or lowering participation since non-US citizens are already studying abroad at Purdue University. Study Abroad Participation We included each year individually in the correlation matrix to for each academic year see whether each year’s study abroad participation is in the data set reflective of the total

These responses from October 2022 are compiled in Figure 3. A wide range of gainedskills were reported amongst participants, with 20% saying they gained experience in theiterative engineering process; this result is in conjunction with increased mindfulness of globalcommunities, where 18% of students were more conscious of end-user populations, and 14
exposure allowed students to compare and contrast engineeringprocesses with practicing UAE engineers. The collaboration with students from Al Ain Universityin building the "Water and Flood Detection System" further enriched their cross-culturalexperience. After the field trip, the instructors actively encouraged students to reflect on theircultural biases and assumptions, fostering a deeper understanding. Additionally, interactiveexperiences during the field trip, such as the desert safari and visits to Al Ain Oasis, providedvaluable opportunities for cross-cultural interaction.Through collaboration with students from the UAE, our engineering students applied both theengineering design and construction of an innovative "Water and Flood Detection
participants fluent in her three major spokenlanguages are represented in the study. The analyzed data for this study include surveys, in-personand virtual classroom observations, teacher reflection journals, classroom artifacts, school policydocuments, and semi-structured interviews with 37 engineering faculty members, 2 provosts, 5engineering college deans, and 2 students. The findings reveal a strong leaning for analogies andproverbs as analogical bridges engineering instructors in this context used when traditionalexperiments, classroom demonstrations, or local educational resources failed.
