approach beyond the lecture in the classroom and thetraditional assignments10. There is a need of building cross-cultural skills by facilitatinglearning experiences that complement the engineering curriculum. International experiencesare a mechanism to start building cross-cultural awareness. These international experiencesrange from online interaction (courses, seminars, short collaborative projects, etc.) to travelabroad experiences (short trips, semester long or yearlong study, research or internshipexperiences); however, merely travelling abroad, while ensuring an international experience,does not guarantee the development of global competencies. It is necessary to get immersedin another culture to develop a deep understanding of cultural
problems,design, and take action as integrated units. Some examples of these team-level cognitive tasksinclude military command-and-control, emergency management, surgery, and air traffic control.Engineering is no exception, with teaming arrangements for design and problem solving servingas the rule rather than the exception.From years of research, we are beginning to understand that the nature of team expertise is notsimply an aggregate of the characteristics of individual expertise. Teamwork expertise is morethan the simple collection of individual expert team members8. Team-level expertise emergesfrom interactions among a collection of experts. The 2004 US Olympic basketball team is aninteresting case in which a team of expert players was

In this module, studentsdevelop a prosthetic limb over the course of the semester. They use virtual analysis techniques aswell as physically build the prosthetic and test it with a force plate.With her familiarity with the EF Department curriculum, and her background in biomedicalengineering, Ms. Roberts was an ideal candidate for this endeavor.

, their professional demands prevent them from being able to devotetime to ―moonlight‖ as university instructors. Even for those who do, their effectiveness islimited by their lack of teaching knowledge and their isolation from the rest of the faculty. Andthird, simply introducing students to professional practices does not alleviate the challengeassociated with relating and integrating these practices with students‘ academic knowledge. Butsuch integration is necessary if they are to fully benefit from their educations over theirprofessional careers.This paper describes the Industry Fellows model32, a novel attempt at addressing theseinterrelated challenges in an integrated manner. Industry Fellows involves a university facultymember and a
point-reward system sustained bytoken acquisition and spending. When this game attribute and its induced student behaviors arealigned to complement learning outcomes (e.g. completing supplemental learning activities,participating during class), instructors and meta-studies over the past decade have demonstratedthat these pedagogical approaches can also enhance how students cognitively, emotionally, andsocially experience class content[12, 13]. While TEs have had more documented use in primary school classrooms[14], [15], reportsof undergraduate classrooms using this strategy have steadily increased since the work ofBoniecki & Moore 2003 who integrated a TE into an introductory psychology course andsuccessfully saw greater class

Such "rigorous" approaches privilege students whoalready have high academic literacy or who are already adept at managing higher education'sunofficial rules, routines, and structures - also known as the hidden curriculum. An emphasis onrigor does not necessarily build academic literacy or unpack the hidden curriculum for studentswithout that privilege [3]. Some practices in higher education, especially those in rigorous STEMprograms, have traditionally centered on a ‘sink or swim’ or ‘weed out’ mentality, and this“hinders efforts to attract more women and minorities into those fields, say the chairs of sciencedepartments at U.S. universities.” [41, p. 1333

The field of computer science has the potential to be an equalizing forceif all members of society have the opportunity to participate in it. For example, there is a growinginfluence of automation, specifically technologies that involve artificial intelligence (AI) andmachine learning (ML), on transforming the way we live and work. Reflecting this growinginfluence, there is also an increased demand for individuals with skills and knowledge to navigatean AI/ML-enhanced workplace. However, there remains a disparity between those able to benefitfrom such changes in workforce demands. As such, finding ways to address this disparity is
DirectionThis study abroad program was offered for the first time in May of 2012. Although elevenstudents is fairly average for an upper-level materials engineering elective course at UAB, theprogram is necessarily limited in size. This is a perennial problem for global competencyinitiatives: any program involving study abroad reaches only those students who are (1) alreadywilling and able to travel and (2) able to afford the program. The current plan for implementinga version of this program more widely into the curriculum is to modify the academic portion ofthe course (The Evolution of Engineering Materials) into a standard semester-long course thatwould meet the requirements for a university-approved history course tailored to engineeringstudents
