early so that the project and all the clerical type stuff can be taken care of ahead of time. Better organization and less last minute decisions would really help to improve this course.” “The lab course lost value after the trip since we were done with the project” “Course should only be 8 weeks long if there is only one trip during spring break”V. Conclusions, Lessons Learned, and Future Work:Teaching the Global Engineering Laboratory component for the first time was a transformativeexperience that significantly enhanced the first author’s teaching skills. The development of thelaboratory content and structure allowed the refinement of the instructional approach, focusing onthe Inquiry-based learning model. This model, centered around student
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

Division of Technology DeVoe School of Business, Technology, and Leadership Indiana Wesleyan University AbstractAs the globalization of higher education continues to thrive, American universities have becomehubs of cultural diversity, attracting a significant population of international students seekingquality education. Teaching international students on an F-1 visa in this environment, particularlya Data Analytics graduate program, presents many challenges and opportunities. This researchpaper explores the multifaceted landscape of educating international students in American highereducation institutions, delving into their unique challenges and the
: international and domestic undergraduate students in focus in the United States higher education institutions. In addition, Mr. Halkiyo is interested in broadening the participation of engineering education in Ethiopian universities to increase the diversity, inclusivity, equity, and quality of Engineering Education. 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

Covid-19 has been thebiggest challenge that educational systems have faced in recent

procedures and skills. Moreover, engineering students inBangladesh need a conducive learning atmosphere. They should have access to a library,laboratory, and other resources. This can contribute to an environment that is favorable tolearning. The expanding economy of Bangladesh has afforded students the chance to obtainexpertise in engineering [18], which has also served as a significant motivation for the students.Engineering students recognize that their education and experience may give them a competitiveedge in the job market. As a result, they are encouraged to work diligently and achieve success.In Bangladesh, the combination of enhanced educational resources, a competitive job market,family and peer support, and a booming economy might all
