In so doing, we discovered that two ofthe items (7 and 10) detracted from the overall reliability of the scale, and so removed them fromthe calculation of the composite CC score. The resulting alpha reliability coefficient is .75 (forthe Grainger students) which represents an acceptable level internal consistency.The 12 Items 1.

Education, 2023 Workshop on Global Engineering Design for Low-Resource SettingsBackgroundGlobal engineering is becoming more prevalent as technology increases communication andcollaboration worldwide [1]. To keep up with the ever-evolving society, global engineers mustwork on cross-cutting issues and bring a diverse mindset to work nimbly across differentenvironments with changing resources [1,2]. This adaptability requires being comfortable withdesign skills and being open to new ideas and international relations [3]. The design process iscrucial for students to experience and understand how to meet a population’s needs and iteratethrough feasible and culturally appropriate solutions.Undergraduate engineering curricula have significantly

With moreengineering students, and fewer engineering faculty members, Nigerian engineering students(especially those in a non-private institutions) attend overcrowded classes [20], that are mostlynot technologically supported to enhance learning. As such, the students may have to: 1) get tothe class earlier (to secure a good sitting spot), 2) shun the noises and be highly attentive to thelecture, 3) seek a tutoring time (often conducted by a senior student who has previously done theclass before and more knowledgeable), 4) join smaller study group
