All students were also required to write a few sentences supporting why they provided the ‘bonus’ they did, as well as provide a reflection on their own activities. These assessments informed how a portion of the marks were assigned for individual projects. • Minor Project - ENGR 112 included one minor project of two weeks or longer attached to each of its three modules. For each project, students were randomly assigned to teams within their cohort. Projects were structured such that any materials and supplies needed

With this project, engineering students at different institutions receive the same lectures, lab experiences, and examinations thereby ensuring that student learning outcomes are the same at different institutions. Thus the project not only helps in the assessment of student learning outcomes but also facilitates the transfer of credits as students decide to enroll in other institutions. This fact is particularly useful in New Mexico where a great percentage of students take credits from peer institutions other than their home institutions. 3.

Developing academic-centered relationships with professors and peers is critical for sharing knowledge andexperiences, which can help international students overcome academic and social challenges.Although some international students report being too busy to engage in social activities,studies have shown that having a friend who understands their situation can be
