In general, some awardsallow you to select the country and/or host institution while others do not permit that. Similarly,some awards require you to have a letter of support from the host institution at the time ofapplication. For the Fulbright Scholar award, there are three different categories: Teaching,Research, and Teaching-Research.

Engineering faculty have many responsibilities, including, but not limited to: teaching a heavy course load, laboratory research, writing publications, applying for funding, attending conferences, managing laboratory materials and safety, mentoring students, networking with industry, and professional development. Therefore, professors’ time is often limited, and professors may not see the value in adjusting a preexisting course. 5.

Furthermore, engineering laboratoriesshould teach the necessary skills that an engineer should possess such as: the ability to properlyuse instrumentation, create models, conduct an experiment, analyze data, and ultimately design4.Additionally, a student should develop a deeper understanding of safety, communication,teamwork, and ethics5. Assuming that each of these objectives is being met, students interestedin engineering should have the confidence and the ability to complete an engineering education.If
