During the program, each student was required to write two journals: a technical one to detailtheir daily work and accomplishments and a second to reflect on their international and culturalexperience. Writing a technical journal can be a valuable way for students to reflect on their daily workand progress. It can also serve as a record of their accomplishments, which may be helpful whenpreparing resumes or applications in the future. Students can use the technical journal to describethe tasks they performed, the challenges they faced, and the strategies they used to overcomethose challenges. They can also reflect on
