In particular,the key research question of “How are engineer(s) and their work portrayed in the feature films?”was broken down to more detailed sub-questions: • What types of engineering work are represented? How is creative component of that work shown? How successful (or unsuccessful) are the outcomes? • Is the distinction between science and technology, and scientist and engineers depicted? • Are

Finally, the paper discusses the importanceof using students for the actual technology exchange and demonstrates how this creates a morecomplete international experience for them.IntroductionIn recent years, the need for engineering and technology students to experience internationaltravel opportunities has increased. As the pace of society continues to quicken and the distancebetween people around the world continues to shrink through the advancements of moderntechnology, educators and accrediting bodies alike are beginning to place more emphasis onglobal awareness and international experience. Most engineering and technology programs nowhave outcomes emphasizing that upon graduation students are
