, conflict management, innovation, andoral and written communication. The need for effective communication permeates through everyengineering discipline. The accrediting board for engineering programs in the US and manyschools abroad is ABET, and they define student outcomes as “what students are expected toknow and be able to do by the time of graduation.” One of the Student Outcomes is (3)“demonstrate an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences” [9]. Clearly,discipline-specific vision statements see communication as an essential component in theprofessionalization of the modern engineer. As educational institutions follow suit, students willneed to become fluent in managing personal narrative and mission in online contexts—as

, prioritizing intelligibility ratherthan fluency or discursive sophistication. Their social support networks were often anchored inSpanish-speaking or Latinx communities, providing emotional containment and culturalresonance. In these cases, professional identity did not expand toward a global orientation butwas reinforced through a localized lens, affirming their role as development agents withinColombia.Self-Determination Theory (SDT) further enriches this analysis. Graduate-oriented participantsdemonstrated progressive development of the three pillars of SDT: competence (e.g., masteringtechnical tools and scientific English), autonomy (e.g., navigating lab environmentsindependently), and relatedness (e.g., forming meaningful relationships with

identitythrough their internship. Participants were able to build their confidence as an engineer throughtheir internships. All four of the participants felt that they “gained independence and confidencein their ability to work as an engineer”, not only by asking questions and learning to search forinformation, but also by applying classroom knowledge to practical engineering skills, andclosing the gap in skills between theory and application. The internships helped them tostrengthen their engineering identity by allowing them to hone technical skills, develop theirwritten and verbal communication skills in a professional setting, learn to accept feedback andimprove from mistakes, in addition to working independently to prioritize tasks and

“Develop ways to give back to your community,” ZJUI improved their abilitymore than the Grainger sections in 2021, but no significant difference was identified by semesterwithin each section. Finally, there were no significant differences between the two universitysections regardless of semester when it came to the learning outcomes “Ask compellingquestions” or “work in diverse teams.”4. Summary and Conclusions COIL courses were first implemented in Fall of 2020. Through continued implementationand improvement of this survey tool, a stronger sample set can be constructed to betterunderstand the impact that COIL projects in engineering courses have on student learningoutcomes. The Cultural Competency Scores were likely higher in the pre
