Since their formation the faculty-ESW-students haveraised more than $80K from federal and private foundations as well as support from individuals.Selection criteria for the team that will be going to Guatemala, are based on contributions to thestudents’ organizations, participation, as well as professional and personal skills.

Over the last year, a School committee reviewed the relevantliterature, evaluated existing and planned programs, and met with various stakeholdersincluding several of our alumni who have significant global experience, as well as ourinternational partners (China and Austria). Faculty then reviewed the proposed outcomes andapproved them in Spring 2015. There are three major sets of outcomes. The first two addressgeneral global literacy for the entire university and represent the ongoing work of a University-wide committee. The third outcome

The innovation process was introducedusing the three stages suggested by Brown and Katz (2009); inspiration (e.g. looking for market needs), ideation(i.e. coming up with ideas solving the market need) and implementation (i.e. ways to implement and makeprototypes of the idea). The innovation process was also covered from the aspects of desirability (market needetc.), feasibility (product development), and viability (business plan etc.).

actually going abroad requires settingand achieving a set of goals. From planning when to study to applying for a passport, each stepprovides opportunities for students to set goals and get feedback on how well they are doing. Inself-efficacy theory, goal setting is an intervening or moderating process towards achieving self-directed learning.36 Students who perceive themselves as having low self-efficacy in engineering,will avoid engineering-related activities, employ minimal effort and will not persisit.34,37However, the process of leaving one’s country and surviving cultural differences in another,especially, if the student is the first in the family to do so, creates a deepened sense of belief inhis or her abilities.

In addition, we will interview selected students to gather deeperinsights into student intentions, behaviors, and learning.The regularity with which students viewed DIY lab videos was approximately every 7 days,which is less frequent and more regular than the sporadic course access patterns that have beenobserved in other MOOCs. This may suggest that using the at-home kits requires greaterplanning or energy than solely online activities.

Multi-modal approaches, e.g., oral conversation, anonymous electronic polls, anonymous comments on uniform notecards, give all participants an opportunity to contribute. 4. Carefully reflect and choose colleagues who will adopt “champion” roles to support inclusion. Be sure that the audience includes people in positions of power in order to effect change in policies as appropriate. 5. Encourage the champions to be comfortable with their role.

The process capability is the inherentability of a process to produce planned results. This engineering model was used to map theactivities required to complete accreditation to an appropriate level of capability of theaccreditation team. Everyone starts at Level 1, where the process are adhoc and results dependon the individuals involved. By applying Project Management techniques a Disciplined Processis developed, leading to Level 2, where the results are repeatable. At Level 2, EngineeringManagement principles are applied to
