Lohmann et al.9 described a quasi-experimental research effort to measure theeffectiveness of study abroad programs using an instrument developed by the InterculturalCommunications Institute10. The Handbook of Intercultural Competence11 acknowledges,however, that developing reliable instruments for this complex construct is challenging due tothe influence of so many external factors and recognizes the efforts of few institutions, includingLohmann et al.9, in measuring impact. Further, Deardoff11 is an advocate of triangulation inwhich assessment instruments are complemented by

Graduates must know and be able to use what they are supposed to have learned. The idea that the bachelor’s degree is just intended to provide a flavor and trigger interest in engineering, with actual competence coming through lifelong learning, runs into serious trouble in an environment where global corporations can recruit smart, competent graduates from all over the world who can start making an impact immediately.b.

During the debriefing, the instructorasks teams to sacrifice one card from their selection to consider minimum impact on the finalresult. The point of the exercise is to show that all of these cards are part of the major categoryheadings of the ISO/IEC 17025 standard and that sacrificing one component will be detrimentalto the quality of their measurement results.The standard is reviewed at this point and two key sections are highlighted, one on the topic ofdocument control and one on records management.

For such reasonsteachers have students participate in academic competitions.
