Group travel facilitates scheduling a large number of contact hours within a short timeframe; the trade-off is fewer recreational hours for the students to experience the travel locationunsupervised. The Engineering in London program remedies this by remaining in one locationwhere the students have easy access to experience city life.Not all global seminar descriptions explained how the travel component enriched the course.Some descriptions were general, for example: • CES Faculty-Led

Thesame is true in the domain of arts: the artist, the art work and the observer must be in unison. John Deweyemphasized this point particularly in the realm of art education [6]. In technology, the closest that comesto the arts is architecture. In engineering we are just one

For example, students withphysical disabilities often face architectural barriers such as laboratory table height, inaccessibleequipment or instrument, and lack of elevators to reach facilities [17]. A non-inclusive schoolculture and negative faculty attitudes toward disabilities greatly impact students’ commitment tothe engineering major and career. Efforts to increase retention of students with disabilities andother marginalized students include curriculum redesign and greater diversity when hiringfaculty [21] [22].Self-Efficacy: Self-efficacy, the belief in one’s ability to succeed, has been found to be a criticalskill for students with disabilities.

In the pre-existing paradigm, teachersintroduce the theory of a new concept prior to running an experiment or discussing contextualapplications of the theory. The physics laboratory objective is solely to verify or support thepresented theory. Teachers then encourage students to extrapolate implementation contextsthrough discussions that follow the lab experiment. The focus of the student lab report is ontheory, procedures, data collection and applying that data to the theoretical equations. Reportconclusions recount how well the experiment matched
