Endersbee4 maintains that civil engineering is an internationalprofession that will have to deal with increasing world population, substantial advances inagricultural practices, urbanization, mobility in location of world manufacture, issues oftransportation in cities, advances in computer and communication technologies, the increasingworld demand for electricity, the impact of energy use on the climate, implications of possibleclimate change, and the different laws at the international level. These challenges are a realitytoday, and civil engineers and constructors entering the job market must be well prepared to meetthem by educational programs that emphasize

deepappreciation of the interrelationships among basic knowledge, technological advance, and humanneed”. Although classroom work is part of the major structure for achieving these goals, thecurriculum includes an interdisciplinary (ID) project during the junior year and a senior yearresearch project in the students’ major. In the past 15 years, students completing one or more ofthese projects abroad have made our program one of the largest in engineering education in theUS. More than half complete their ID projects at one of our 30 project centers throughout theworld as part of our Global Perspective Program (GPP). Most students complete their senior yearproject on campus, but global participation is growing. In chemical engineering about 20%participate

Domestic Undergraduate Research Experiences1. IntroductionThis paper presents the results of a study that examines how international and domesticundergraduate research experiences affect the intercultural maturity of students in science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. This question is timely given theincreasingly multinational nature of research collaborations. In its 2014 Science Indicators, theNational Science Foundation (NSF) reported that 35% of U.S. articles published in 2012 wereinternationally coauthored, up from 32% in 2010, with U.S.-Japan coauthored papers comprising7% of this total. Internationally coauthored papers in science and engineering now comprise one-fourth of all papers worldwide.1 The percentage of U.S
