from any resultant cement or concrete or sealant methods. 7. ConclusionIncorporating less than 0.5% of graphene or carbon nanotubes has demonstrated the potential toenhance the 28-day compressive strength of cement mortars. To ascertain an optimal ratio andassess the impact of lower contents on variability, additional research is recommended. Thisexploration is crucial for determining the viability and practicality of these mixtures forcommercial applications. If these findings prove scalable and methods are devised to mitigatevariability, carbon nanomaterials could emerge as advantageous additives for larger-scaleapplications in cementitious materials. 8.

globally focused experiences outscored those who did not.Notably, the mean EGPI score of students who reported study abroad was significantly higherthan that of those who did not study abroad. In contrast, participation in second-languagecourses, projects or internships abroad, or having an international roommate did not reveal astatistically significant difference in students’ EGPI or GPI performance.Stepwise regression analysis was used to determine potential relationships among studentexperiences and their global preparedness. The regression results indicated that the combinationof such experiences including engineering focused service learning, study abroad, and non-engineering course(s) with a global focus accounted for approximately 12% of
