Towards the end of the week, participants were given unstructured time with lab instructors so they could work on their Rube Goldberg projects during lab time and ask questions as needed. Staff, instructors, and counselors had a diverse range of personal and technical backgrounds. Multiple engineering disciplines were represented within the group, as well as experience levels within these disciplines; including undergraduates, recent college graduates, and established professionals within their field. The diversity allowed for multiple perspectives from a technological and logistics standpoint as the

Two widely used cultural comparison systems are Hofstede’s [25] and the GlobalLeadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness (GLOBE) system [26]. Hofstededeveloped a 6-dimension system to characterize national culture on a 0 to 100 scale [25], whilethe GLOBE project has 9 dimensions on a 1 to 7 scale [26]. The GLOBE system

Introduction of student outcomes by TheAccreditation Board on Engineering and Technology (ABET) has expanded the opportunities foraddressing critical thinking in engineering curricula. In particular, this has opened the option toexpand the default definitions of critical thinking beyond calculative rationality and analyticalstrategies to include broader forms of reasoning, such as reasoning about values, assumptions,biases, and the broader social and global role of engineers and the designs engineers produce.Practitioners and scholars of liberation debate many aspects of the applied and theoreticalmaterial and, yet, many also share a particular contention: theories and models of liberationfollow
