Several educational researchers across the globe[6], [7], [8] have sought to distinguish terms such as multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary,transdisciplinary, and recently, their convergence. However, in practice, distinctions betweenthese terms are often fuzzy. Across academic disciplines, institutions, and geographies, terms likeinterdisciplinary are often understood and used interchangeably.Even though interdisciplinary education is increasingly practiced across different academiclevels and extensive research has examined its benefits, little is known about how studentsperceive such efforts, and this

These programs have various lengths anddestinations that can correlate to a specific course or opportunities such as internships [1]. Recentstudies have conveyed the significance of assessing study-abroad learning experiences [2].

Some may have known their dream school since theywere children, whereas others are only beginning to explore their options as they complete highschool. A plethora of factors influence prospective students’ enrollment intentions. Rising costsare a concern for many students, either limiting their options to in-state universities or makingthem feel locked out of a system they are otherwise academically prepared for [1].

Females are underrepresented in STEM majors, including computer science and software engineering. Female students’ enrollment and retention in computing fields is low compared to males as depicted in [5]. Only 20% of computer science and 22% of engineering undergraduate degrees are earned by women in the US. In 2020, women made up only 19% of computer science graduates.
