Engineering Education, Cross-Cultural Collaboration, Engineering DesignThinking, Global Context, UAEAbstract:Engineers have the ability and responsibility to design and develop solutions that can improvepeople's lives, solve pressing problems, and make the world a better place. Real-world challengesare becoming increasingly complex and global, and engineering projects often requirecollaboration between people from different cultures.Global engineering is a general engineering course required by all engineering students. Thecourse focuses on designing and developing engineering solutions to real-world problems in aglobal context. In spring 2024, the course was offered in an innovative way, with a lecture-basedpart and a hands-on laboratory part. The

Moduleslike Mechanical Design with CAD and Machining Laboratory and Signals and Systems developtechnical precision through computational analysis, simulation tools, and laboratoryexperimentation.

DEI initiatives in higher education and engineering studies havehistorically centered on enhancing the experiences and representation of students.However, this focus has largely overlooked the vulnerabilities and contributions ofacademic staff, including educators, laboratory technicians, and leadership. In countrieslike Ecuador, where significant sociocultural and ethnic diversity exists,underrepresentation extends beyond students to academic professionals.This paper focuses on the strategies embedded within the EENTITLE project, detailinghow the project's activities promote a more equitable and inclusive ecosystem andgovernance model for higher education institutions (HEIs) to facilitate inclusiveprofessional

Each year MTSUstudents participate in the “NASA Human Exploration Rover Challenge” a half-mile simulatedlunar terrain course that includes "craters", rocks, "lava" ridges, inclines, and "lunar" soil. Thestudents are aware of the challenges they face during the competition, so they design the Roverto withstand the deterioration the vehicle could undergo. The design and construction of theRover is completed in three different laboratories located on the MTSU campus in the VoorhiesEngineering Technology building. More than 80% of the parts are designed and manufactured bythe students alone. This hands-on method is a great advantage for students to learn from theirmistakes and be equipped if any

Awards. These awards are offered toprofessionals, artists, and people from academics at any career level. However, some awards maybe for certain types of scholars and are limited to specific career levels. In general, some awardsallow you to select the country and/or host institution while others do not permit that. Similarly,some awards require you to have a letter of support from the host institution at the time ofapplication. For the Fulbright Scholar award, there are three different categories: Teaching,Research, and Teaching-Research. The research award consists of activities related to research thatincludes scientific research, practice-based research, etc. The research work can be applied andcan take place in a laboratory, field, or an

He studies how different student groups such as women and men, rich and poor, students from rural and urban, and technologically literate and less literate can have quality and equitable learning experiences and thrive in their performances. In doing so, he focuses on engineering education policies and practices in teaching and learning processes, assessments, laboratories, and practical internships. Mr. Halkiyo

DiscussionParticipants, both Indonesians and Japanese, expressed that they had the most learning effectiveness innon-technical areas such as “Communication (4.43)” and “Individual and Collaborative Team work(4.21)”. This suggests that interactive methods such as group work on real-world challenges were moreeffective compared to traditional passive learning in classrooms or laboratories. Additionally, scoresrelated to consciousness aspects such as “The Engineer and the World (4.00)”, and “Lifelong learning(3.79)” were high. Thus, this PBL led to increased awareness related to its social aspects.On the other hand, despite

critiqued much of the CER work that she had seen in STEM, contrasting it with her beliefsabout high-quality CER. Holding a traditional notion of science ignores the critical human sideof CER which then fails to produce meaningful outcomes for the communities. Many STEMacademics who engage in CER may be experts in their narrow technical field but are not trainedor competent in the human side of CER and ignore these crucial skills.A FB/FT woman conducted post-doctoral work at a U.S. government research laboratory.

applicable only in restricted spheres, such as a classroom or laboratory? Or, does science apply more generally to real life? These items tease out students’ views of the applicability of scientific knowledge as distinct from the student's own desire to apply science to real life, which depends on the student's interests, goals, and other non- epistemological factors.4. Evolving knowledge. This dimension probes the extent to which students navigate between the twin perils of absolutism (thinking all scientific knowledge is set in stone) and extreme relativism (making no distinctions between evidence-based reasoning and mere opinion).5.
