participants achieve program outcomes.In this paper, we provide an overview of RSAP and share a logic model for the program. Usingthis information, we propose a refined, more in-depth RSAP evaluation plan to assess studentlearning and program outcomes. This plan can serve as a model for other internationalengineering education programs that seek to demonstrate value. Page 26.1348.10References1. Johri, A., & Jesiek, B. K. (2014).

selected through a rigorous application and interview process in order toensure student’s qualification and motivation. The class size was limited to be 16 students ineach participating university in the interest of quality control, except the American and Indianclass where 32 students were recruited. Because of wide time differences on multiple locations,the class was divided into two parallel sessions: Session A and Session B. The Session Aenrolled 16 American, 16 Israelis, and 32 Indian students, and the Session B enrolled 16American, 16 Chinese, and 16 Korean students. The 112 course participants were assembled into16 project teams, each with 7 members (i.e., 2 American, 2 Indian, 1 Israelis, 1 Chinese, and 1Korean students). The membership of
