Joseph A. Untener University of DaytonIntroductionThe Department of Engineering Technology at the University of Dayton (UD) is in the thirteenthyear of a successful 3+1 program with Shanghai Normal University (SNU) in China. Thisinnovative partnership brings together students from a public institution from one side of theglobe, in one of the most urbanized cities in the world, with students in a private Catholic schoolin the Midwest of the United States. Both groups benefit from this internationalization ofengineering education.The internationalizing of engineering education has been a goal of nearly every university formore than a decade. The National Academy of Engineering, for example, produced reports inthe

college students (FGCS) face considerable obstacles to college success,including a lack of role models in the family, a lack of familial mentoring and support, a lack offamiliarity with the college climate, and, generally, lower socioeconomic status [1-6]. They tendto be less academically prepared for college, and English is not their native language for a higherproportion than of continuing-generation college students (CGCS) [3]. However, in many ways,recent research suggests that FGCS are very similar to CGCS. They respond to the same factorsencouraging college persistence and success [7-8], and often demonstrate considerable “grit” inpursuing their undergraduate careers (9), a factor instrumental in undergraduate achievement.Indeed, Boone and

In 1955 the ASEE "Grinter report" on evaluation of engineering educationemphasized the importance of graphical expression, including sketching, as a means for creativethinking, spatial visualization, and the ability to convey ideas [1]. However, with the advent ofcomputer aided design (CAD) in the 1970's, free-hand sketching was eliminated from thecurriculum in most undergraduate engineering programs in North America [2], [3].Much of the current literature in representational competence is in science education rather thanengineering education, especially in chemistry and physics.

Bandura [1] defined perceived self-efficacy as “belief in one’s capabilities to organize, and execute the courses of action required toproduce given attainments, the perception to do tasks and achieve goals”. Bandura and Locke [2]observed a strong relation between self-efficacy and performance in general. A meta-analysis of114 studies by Stajkovic and Luthans [3] found a strong correlation between self-efficacy andwork-related performance.

Another feedback from students was that they would like the videos to be short.The eight to twelve minutes recommended by Abeysekera and Dawson 1 and Ronchetti22 seem tobe too long for our students.

For theevaluation phase, each team developed and executed three or more qualitative experiments fortheir product. At the conclusion of the project, students wrote a report that addressed the fourphases of product archaeology, including the results of their quantitative experiments.

These projects’ goals are to develop fully functional prototypes that cancomplete specific sets of tasks and meet certain requirements. This allows for the difficulty levelbetween projects to remain the same and provides a clear grading system for the prototypes.

Investigation into these transitionshas brought to light the reality of “transfer shock” [1] and its consequences for transfer studentson multiple levels: personal, social, and academic. In recent years, research has focused on thecomplexity of such factors, like background, prior educational experiences, the transfer process,social adjustment, and academic progress, to reduce transfer shock [2-6]. These studies haveutilized diverse methodological and analytic approaches, from institutional data, quantitativeanalysis of survey responses, to more recently some qualitative analysis of focus groups and open-ended questions. These results create a picture of the barriers
