. This emphasis on professional practice would give coherence and efficacy to the primary task facing schools of engineering: enabling students to move from being passive viewers of engineering action to taking their place as active participants or creators within the field of engineering. In this process, the student would begin to develop an identity as an engineer.”20CDIO Standards 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8 mandate the curriculum components key to EDPS and theirintegration.3 Those standards are: Integrated Curriculum, Introduction to Engineering, DesignBuild Experiences, Integrated Learning Experiences, a nd Active Learning.

Not only is enrollment insufficient,retention of engineering students needs to improve as an estimated one third of college studentswho start in engineering drop out 3. Enrollment and retention could be improved by better aligning educational practices withworkplace realities. Current studies indicate that “there is a clear need for more effectiveintegration between education and working life”4. Before that can be done, it is essential to havea firm picture of the work that engineers do today. Unfortunately, that picture is limited. “Thereare few reliable reports of research on engineering practice”5

First, we do not take into account time period ofenrollment and its impact on the experiences of Black engineering students with faculty. So, forexample, we do not explore emergent differences in the responses of Blacks who graduated withengineering degrees in the 1970s and those who graduated in the 2000s. Second, given the

Consequently, “… engineering colleges must develop strategies that provide globalperspectives and international experiences to help their graduates excel in their future workenvironment” [4].Study-abroad programs is one of the ways universities have found to provide a globalperspective to students. However, it has two limitations: low participation of engineeringstudents and effectiveness in providing global perspective. The low participation is because onlyfew students can afford to have a study-abroad experience. Despite the growing awareness of thebenefits of study-abroad by students, the challenges preventing students from studying abroadare numerous and complex [5]. A study by the Institute for International Education (IIE
pedagogy is that the instructorsimply cannot cover the same volume of content as s/he might in a traditional class (lecture +homework). The expected benefit is that somehow the students will learn the concepts better, inthe sense they are learned in context. This contextual learning, our argument goes, should lead to1) rapid integration into the workforce upon graduation5, and 2) better structural foundation ofsoftware engineering knowledge that will evolve in an orderly way even after graduation. Thatis, the students understand less “stuff” but understand it in a way that is deeper and betterorganized so as to be better prepared to assimilate new and changing conceptual information, arequirement in the computing sciences.

Researchefforts to explore the complexity of the underrepresentation of Black engineers at every levelhave resulted in a common agenda with an “ultimate goal to improve, enhance, and transformlearning and work environments” [6, p. 107].Black undergraduate engineering students encounter many challenges in their pursuit of anengineering degree. Some of these challenges include stereotype threat, a “predicament in whichmembers of certain social groups must deal with being judged

The authors reflect on the following question: How did theirexperiences as current or former international students shape their teaching philosophies asengineering educators? These reflections lay the groundwork for developing a research designfor a larger study of engineering faculty sentiment and motivation toward addressinginternational students' needs. Ultimately, a larger research study will help incorporate
