Olson and Lalley statethat “a faculty led, highly structured, two to three week study abroad experience for students intheir early year of their college careers could greatly benefit these students by opening their eyesto a wide berth of opportunities such as internships abroad, studying a second language, longerinternational experiences in their later years, and a reduction of travel anxiety”.4For all the reasons listed above, in 2014 MCC’s engineering faculty began looking into thepossibility of putting together an international travel course.

This modification also created some continuity in the student’sworking knowledge on the project. In past years, once the completion was finished the studentsgraduated and went on with their various careers and the experiential knowledge was totally lostfrom the project. By having overlapping capstone projects working on the same goals, theexperience and working knowledge is maintained and successfully passed on to other teammembers.The third change made was to have the students create a Robosub Club to encourage youngerstudents to get involved in the project.
