, job shadowing programs still exist and have been documentedin the literature.In engineering, most job shadowing experience is in connection with industry. Job shadowingprograms have been found to have impacts on student career trajectories. Engineering programsare expected to help students find internships and job shadowing opportunities in industry becauseit is considered a best practice for students to have this experience early in their careers [3]. Whenpaired with a near-peer mentor and participating in a job shadowing experience, research showsthat there is a positive impact on student retention in STEM programs [4].Many different aspects can influence a successful job shadowing program. As in the definition,job shadowing should involve

initial research questions (RQs) can be addressed as follows:RQ1: The primary objectives of participants include making friends and fostering curiosity aboutother cultures. These could be a great motivator even for engineering students to encourageparticipation in mobility programs, in addition to the educational benefits. While earning studycredits is also an essential incentive, it is a secondary factor in encouraging their actions to travelabroad.RQ2: Regarding WA11GAP, mobility programs are great opportunities for team work,communication, and awareness of lifelong learning, which can be more effective to acquirethrough practice rather than traditional educational studies.RQ3: The most influential factor for participants' learning outcomes is

After joining SFSU in 2016, she established an active research lab at SFSU with a diverse group of under- graduate and Master’s level students. For her engineering education research, she is interested in exploring how to use technology such as virtual reality and 3D printing to enhance student engagement. She is an active member of ASCE, ASEE, and SEAONC.Dr. Zhaoshuo Jiang, San Francisco State University Zhaoshuo Jiang graduated from the University of Connecticut with a Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineer- ing.

financial need who arepursuing associate, baccalaureate, or graduate degrees in STEM. It also helps the institutionsdevelop and implement activities that support their recruitment, retention and graduation in STEM[7]. Many institutions have applied funds from this program either exclusively or along with otherfinancial resources to support academically talented low-income students.Although research supports the positive impact of financial support on recruitment, academicperformance, retention, and graduation rates of STEM students [6], [8]–[14], financial supportalone is not enough for student success and retention. In one S-STEM program, scholars rankedthe program components in terms of importance to them remaining in a STEM major. Although itis

at post-survey might be the key to further study - as this trend was observed for a larger number of students across the university’s whole gPBL offering.Research objectives In this paper, we investigate if there are further identifiable issues which can be foundwith the design and format of the Online Robotics workshop. Our research questions (‘RQs’)for this paper are as follows:1. Can the MGUDS-S assessment tool be used to investigate weaknesses in the current design and format of the online gPBL programs?2. Do MGUDS-S scores actually have a stronger correlation with students’ ‘self-described’ satisfaction than the traditional ‘how would you rate this course out of 5’ Likert-scale satisfaction questions?3. Can Slack-based

During the 2023 trip, the students from Western CarolinaUniversity visited Hiroshima University and teamed up with a class of English-speakingJapanese students, led by Dr. Russell Kabir, to engage in group activities that culminated in anengineering design exercise. The entire workshop was a highlight for both groups. Researchliterature suggests a gap in the reporting of multidisciplinary trips and their pedagogicalcomponents. Therefore, we present a process evaluation of trip implementations to examinetransferable best practices for researchers and faculty-led student practitioners. Studentssubmitted journals and
