motivational aspects might also be crucial determinants for determining theperformance and perseverance of engineering students [3].Many engineering students in Bangladesh are primarily motivated by their own aspirations.Increased self-efficacy is mainly congruent with the idea of greater ambition. When studentsbelieve in their ability to complete a particular activity or objective, they are driven to act inways that increase the likelihood of success [1]. Often, students are motivated to succeed inengineering by their passion and attitude [11]. In addition, a solid foundation in disciplines suchas mathematics, physics, and science inspires students to pursue higher education in engineeringto pursue a career in various sophisticated and intriguing

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

Most recently, she spent the final year of her PhD at the University of Cape Town, integrating her benchtop cardiovascular research into computational models. In 2018-2019, she spent a year living and working in Tanzania, in East Africa through the Fulbright US Scholar program, teaching and conducting clinical research. Now at UD, her scholarship work includes embedding global engineering opportunities into the engineering curriculum through study abroad programs, new courses, serving as an advisor for UD’s Engineers Without Borders, and hosting global design workshops. ©American Society for Engineering

Research suggests that these experiences canguide students toward further global engagement and both professional and personaldevelopment later in their careers (Vahed et al., 2020). The pandemic has led to a rise in digitallearning tools and online teaching capabilities, but it has created challenges for connectionamong peers. At its core, education is human interaction. To create an environment in whichstudents can successfully learn remotely there needs to be a method for meaningful two-wayinteraction (Remote learning during COVID-19, 2023).
