attributes for global engineers based on Washington AccordGenerally speaking, PBL programs are also effective for acquiring Washington Accord 11 GraduateAttribute Profile (WA11GAP), which are essential requirements for future global engineers [8]. (1) Engineering Knowledge (2) Problem Analysis (3) Design/development of solutions (4) Investigation (5) Tool Usage (6) The Engineer and the World (7) Ethics (8) Individual and Collaborative Team work (9) Communication (10) Project Management and Finance (11) Lifelong learningThese 11 items comprise a comprehensive set of knowledge, skillsets, and mindsets. Because of the designflexibility, it is sufficient to incorporate these items into PBL course contents. In the case of this techno-socio PBL, this
willbenefit the host institution the most. This means that the applicant needs to get involved indiscussion and negotiation about the visit dates so that the visit is beneficial for the host institution.It is always beneficial if you have any prior contact and understanding with the Dean and/orDepartment chair of the host institution, if they are familiar with your work, work ethic, andcapabilities then agreeing on the visit dates, and project details is easy step and can be veryproductive. This initial contact can also help you discuss specific activities that you might beinterested in conducting during your visit to the host institution. In your application, you need to explain how relevant or beneficial your work will be for thehost institution
student learning outcomes 2, 3, 4, and 5 [1]. These student outcomes focus on engineeringdesign solutions with consideration of global, cultural, environmental and social factors;communicating effectively; recognizing ethical and professional responsibilities; and the abilityto function effectively on a team.Endorsed by the National Academy of Engineering, the Grand Challenges Scholars Program(GCSP) [2], includes five competencies that engineers need to be able to tackle the wickedproblems facing our society including the 14 Grand Challenges of Engineering (NAE) and the 17UN Sustainable Development Goals. These five GCSP competencies are: Talent Competency,Multidisciplinary Competency, Viable Business/Entrepreneurship Competency

institutionsbetween 2015 and 2019. Over 4,000 students who have completed the survey in either a pre,post, or pre and post test manner. This tool has been demonstrated to provide adequate reliabilitywithin various university programs to ensure valid results within this research program.The Global Engineering Competency Scale (GECS) is a framework developed by Jesiek [35]that highlights required skills for engineers globally. The GECS is broken down into cognitiveand behavioral categories. Questions within these categories focus on technical, teamwork andcommunication, business, ethics and professional practice, and leadership.Within the context of the identified global engagement interventions, it is important to evaluatethe growth in each student’s global

Dr. Finelli studies the academic success of students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), social justice attitudes in engineering, and faculty adoption of evidence-based teaching practices. She also led a project to develop a taxonomy for the field of engineering education research, and she was part of a team that studied ethical decision-making in engineering students. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 WIP: Understanding How International Graduate Students in Engineering Fit into American Culture through the Lens of Gender Pronouns: A Pilot StudyAbstractInternational
perhaps expected because the course hasa different structure compared to traditional engineering courses. For most students, this wastheir first or second design-heavy course; thus, learning to define the problem and develop adesign project was demanding. The concept of "People" was highlighted as an opportunity forstudents to enhance their work ethic by collaborating with a diverse international team. Thischallenge allowed individuals to adapt to different leadership styles and work dynamically withothers.Figure 4. How were you challenged in this bilingual, international engineering course?The fourth prompt in the video was asking the students if they would recommend this courseto other students (Figure 4). They all responded yes, with many
presented as an in-class activity during one of the 65-minute lectureperiods. There are usually two sections of the class offered every year with between 15 and 25students per section. In addition to these two economics-oriented modules, in-class activities ontopics of global engineering ethics, culture, DEIB and mental health issues while traveling, likelyexperiences in other cultures, and appropriate technology are included. Because lecture onlyhappens once per week and the class covers a wide range of topics, each topic is intended to bean introduction to the material. Students who are interested in any of the topics are encouraged toseek out additional courses or minors in the area of interest. The following modules are thereforeintended to
ethical researchprotocols, the researchers employed a multifaceted approach to ensure the transparency of thefindings presented in this study. This included utilizing well-validated measures throughout thestudy to enhance reliability and conducting inter-rater reliability checks to guaranteeconsistency in data collection. To further strengthen the validity of their conclusions, the studyincorporated triangulated data from multiple sources, including one-on-one interviews and athorough review of relevant academic scholarly journals.Results The following four themes emerged from the data analyses and in-depth case studyinterviews. First, institutional support and leadership commitment via female STEMmentorship programs appear to be pivotal factors
