This new approach to increase the awareness inengineering students of the challenges of global teams has already resulted in multi-national teamsinvolving students from Peru, Germany, Poland, and the Netherlands and coming in the nearfuture, teams including Denmark, Russia, Australia and Dubai. This mixing of students fromdifferent nationalities stimulated this interest in learning motivation so that project topics for theseteam can be selected that would appeal to a mixed nationality team.MotivationMotivation is a crosscutting element of personality.

theseanalyses, our research team will be involved in helping devise more targeted survey items forfuture data collection as opposed to relying on secondary data. New survey items will seek tounderstand how students considered funding when selecting their graduate program of study andwhether they actively seek different kinds of funding once they have been admitted. Surveyitems will also be better aligned with a theoretical framework in future administrations. We alsohope to link survey responses to individual students so that their participation and responsesmight be tracked over time, thereby producing a longitudinal data set.Beyond this specific project, our research team is in the process of launching a five-year,national-scale project funded by the

various courses with nospecific framework likely had limited effect. Studies have shown that going about teachingethics in this manner likely results in teaching “microethics”8 which lacks the broader context ofhow ethics impacts society as a whole.It is also noted that senior engineering students that are taking their capstone course are verybusy. The engineering capstone in our program is typical of other institutions in that it requires alarge time commitment from the students. They have projects to complete, numerous reports towrite, and presentations to prepare. It is likely that taking this ethics examination is not a highpriority in their list of things to complete so it may not be given the serious attempt that wewould hope from these
