, may result in fewer minority studentsas well [1], [6].Fear of racism – research suggests that students who are susceptible to stereotype threat(potential interpretations of ones’ actions through an existing negative lens) often respond byadjusting behavior patterns to minimize or avoid similar situations [11]. Students of color andmore often African American college students at predominantly white institutions are oftenalready vulnerable to such negativism. Since study abroad is rarely required as part of theundergraduate curriculum, they are more likely to decline the opportunity even in the presence ofother incentives [11], [6]. Studying abroad is often marketed as a means to improve ones’ crosscultural experience. For the minority student

)AbstractResearch has shown that study abroad yields the greatest educational outcomes for interculturalcompetency when it is couched in a curriculum that encourages preparation before and reflectionafter the abroad experience. To enhance the educational outcomes of engineering students’ studyabroad experiences, we developed a certificate program that couples an abroad experience withadditional coursework in global topics and a reflection assignment. The certificate program isbased on a similar program at Northern Arizona University, and is otherwise rare in our peerschools. The goal of the program is to encourage students to engage in coursework and experiencesthat cultivate cultural competency, and to recognize students’ efforts when they do so. In

These characteristics of care and caring made it a natural fit for the working with approach. In addition to discussing what care means and how it has been described in literature, students were asked to arrive at their own individual care statements. In doing so, they were able to apply the concepts of care and caring themselves and arrive at an articulation that enables them to put their care into practice.     In addition to developing individual care statements, the students were requested to ensure that their individual care statements and the

Next, they suggested usingproblems actually encountered at the company, since many puzzles are not reflective of real-worldsituations. Such tasks are seen as giving an unfair advantage to candidates just out of school.Finally, they propose problem solving “as colleagues, not as examiners” a recommendation whichhighlights that rather than an intense interrogation the process should be balanced, and shouldinvolve working together to solve issues, and that this could even be accomplished with other“potential teammates.”In addition to the two
