narratives.Author 1 invited Authors 3 and 4 to take part in the data collection process based on their sharedinterests. We then began writing individually. To write individually, we engaged in a “datageneration exercise” [12], which includes chronologically listing major events or experiences,the circumstances of these events as well as stating why these events are important. In terms ofcollaboration style, we adopted Partial concurrent collaboration, where researchers contribute todifferent stages in the process but do not fully engage from the beginning to the end.The concurrent model allowed us to write individually based on the overarching prompt and thenshare stories with the team. Sharing the stories with the group helped us add probing questions

Engineering EducatorRegistered).Applying to become a registered International Professional Engineering Educator is acomprehensive and quite rigorous process. Potential educators are required to digitally submitthe necessary evidence of the competencies they possess in all the domains as an educator,fill out an application form, submit their portfolio, and evidence of their professionaldevelopment achievements.Each application is reviewed by three international experts (members of the Evaluation andMonitoring Committee) necessarily from other countries and preferentially from othercontinents, to verify that it meets the criteria of the ENTER Registry.Once the peer review is complete, the educators will be notified whether they are eligible

capacity to contribute to global sustainabilityissues like climate change. These experiences equip them well for the professional phase of theircareers, allowing them to collaborate effectively in an increasingly interconnected world.The integration of international virtual exchange (IVE) programs in engineering education hasgained significant attention in recent years. As part of this trend, the assessment of studentoutcomes through IVE has become a crucial area of research and evaluation. Recent studies,such as one conducted by East Carolina University, have demonstrated the potential of IVE toenhance student learning and academic performance [21]. The definition of IVE as “technology-mediated international experiences that are peer-driven

confidence in personal ability, expanding conceptions ofresearch, science and culture while increasing openness to employment outside the United States,and ability to relate to peers and professional scientists. These outcomes were present for bothcohorts, IRAP and R2R, with some instances of statistically significant increases pre- to post-participation despite the small counts of participants (IRAP = 18, R2R = 11). Several of theoutcomes parallel findings from prior support of international research experiences by TAMUSLSAMP (Preuss et al, 2020; Preuss, et al, 2021; Preuss et al, 2022). The survey findings fromsummer 2022 are presented as an initial data set that, while requiring verification throughreplication of programming in 2023 and beyond

. You may also be asked to write details about your research project. It will be agood idea to have a collaborator for your research at the host institution and to have a detaileddiscussion before finalizing your project proposal details. It is better to be very specific about theresearch project with the understanding that some of the minor details may change due to thelimitations and interests of the colleagues at the host institution during your stay. If you arerequired to share course material such as syllabi or course outline, in this case, it is a good idea tolook at the courses that the host institution offer so that the material you present is relevant andshows how your teaching experience of these courses will be beneficial for them

This paper reports on a novel courseallowing students from the U.S. and Mexico to collaborate across national and lingualboundaries without leaving their home campuses, lowering the financial barriers typicallyassociated with international experiences. II. REVIEW OF RELEVANT LITERATUREThe need for engineers to solve complex problems with international peers has been reiteratedin many studies and reports. A most recent report by the United Nations Educational, Scientific,and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) highlights the importance of building engineeringcapacity across national borders for sustainable development of our global world [5

which can be found in Appendix B.Students were placed in different groups for the two activities. Each instructor provided feedbackfor all groups in both activities.An initial brainstorming exercise was completed at the very start of the program, where studentswere asked to work in groups and write on post-it notes in response to the following prompt:“About 50% of neonatal (newborn) deaths worldwide are due to hypothermia. Some reasonsinclude that newborns lack sufficient body fat and metabolic rates to maintain body temperature.Brainstorm: 1. Possible approaches to avoid hypothermia-related neonatal deaths in developingcountries. 2. What additional information do you need?” [8].The final direct assessment was made by evaluating student

that“inclusivity” and the “presence of better educators” are not commonly cited reasons whyinternational students come to the US for higher education [4], [5].The presence of international students is often described in terms of its socioeconomic benefits tothe host countries [6], but this perspective often cloaks the associated nuances of studying abroad.One commonly cited statistic on this topic is that international students contributed more than $45billion of revenue money to the United States within one calendar year [7]. Yet, other studies haveattempted to expound on the benefits of developing interculturally competent graduates throughthe interactions between domestic American students and their international peers [8].International

increasing numbers and “a clear need andcall for critical global competencies, they remain lacking in college graduates and the workforce[11].” At the same time, study abroad programs are trending shorter. At the writing of this paper,64.9 % of students enroll in study abroad programs shorter than 8 weeks in duration [10].Historically, an entire semester abroad had been the convention for decades. This invites thequestion of whether and how practitioners can develop these requisite global competencies asshorter sojourns abroad undergird the paradigm.The extent to which participants acquire global competency during study abroad continues toelude researchers despite their best efforts. Assessment is a multidimensional challenge,complicated by limited
