interculturalcompetence. With the advancement of collaboration technologies, Global Virtual Teams (GVT)have become necessary in multinational organizations. GVTs enable teamwork through internet-based platforms and connects members across different geographical regions who have no priorface-to-face interaction, working on common tasks and goals. Several universities across theworld are trying to incorporate GVT-based IVE. Students who participate in these experiencesget the opportunity to work across different time zones, with different cultural perspectives andeducational practices, also adapting their working styles and approaches [11].Parkinson noted that engineering students can appreciate culture, work, and communicate as ateam irrespective of culture or

Besides its ubiquity in practice within industry, communication inengineering settings can profoundly affect the development and safety of technology. As anexample, breakdown in engineering communication has the ability to lead to engineeringdisasters, as demonstrated by the example of the space shuttle Challenger explosion. Thus,effective communication in engineering—including written communication

during extracurricular club activities.When different ethnic groups were compared, it was found that our sample was in agreement withthe literature. Asian students showed significant difference in their STEM perception whencompared to other ethnic groups, namely Hispanic, Mixed and African American, however thissignificance disappeared among Club students. This might be due to the nature of the STEM clubsthat all students who are enrolled in any STEM club seem to show more similar STEM perceptionsdespite their ethnic backgrounds.The premise is that Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) exposurethrough extra-curricular clubs has an effect on minority students’ perception of STEM relatedcareers.Limitations and Future Work:It is

Interventions, Retention, Success MetricsAbstractImproving the level of success of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds in science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines has been a prevailing concern forhigher education institutions for many years. To address this challenge, a pilot initiative has beenimplemented with engineering students at the University of Puerto Rico Mayaguez, a recognizedHispanic Serving Institution. Over the past four years, the Program for Engineering Access,Retention, and LIATS Success (PEARLS) has brought in an innovative intervention model thatcombines elements from socio-cognitive career theories and departure studies to impact students'success. PEARLS has established a comprehensive range of

Technology, only 25% of engineering degrees, includingBachelor’s, Master’s, and Ph.D., were awarded to women in US institutions [1]. Theunderrepresentation of women in engineering may be due to a lack of diversity when recruitingstudents, as well as the fact that women have higher attrition rates than their men peers, so-called“the leaky pipeline” [2, 3, 4].Many studies have attempted to understand this high attrition rate of women students inengineering careers. Some suggest that women students have fewer opportunities to develop theirengineering interests or chances to be recognized as engineers compared with their mencounterparts [5, 6, 7, 8, 9]. Others note that women students face additional professionaldevaluation and chilly climates in
