Degrees in Science, Technology,Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)1. The Undergraduate Research Experience is at the centerof the LSAMP Scholar experience at CUNY and non-CUNY sites. Each year over 140 Scholarsare engaged in a mentored research experience with a CUNY faculty member1.It is well documented the importance and benefits of STEM students having some type ofinternational experience2, 3. Additionally, higher education is moving forward with embracing theconcept of educating engineers as a global citizen4. Therefore in 2008 an approach wasimplemented to allow LSAMP scholars to integrate an International Experience into theirundergraduate studies. The multi-pronged approach consists of, 1) collaborating with existingprograms within the NSF

with thesematerials. It is primarily a call to consider how students engage in their college experience,and to search for proper tools that can be deployed to stimulate learning.In moving forward, there are numerous tools available to select from, including the modelspredicated on cooperation; i.e., working together to accomplish shared goals. Withincooperative activities, individuals seek outcomes that are beneficial to them and also benefitall other group members. (2, 3) Cooperative learning researchers and practitioners have shownthat positive peer relations are essential to success in college. The positive interpersonalrelationships promoted through cooperative learning are regarded by most as crucial totoday’s learning communities. They

One of the many examples ofexperience-based learning is that of education abroad programs. According to Kolb’sexperiential learning theory, experiential learning is "the process whereby knowledge is createdthrough the transformation of experience16.” There are four steps in the learning cycle: 1)Concrete Experience 2) Reflective Observation 3) Abstract Conceptualization 4) ActiveExperimentation.

The use of communication technology can be found among thefour ‘mega trends’ that Shuman et al.[1] specifically identify for the field of engineering,alongside changes forced by the fragile world economy, student and professional mobility,and the increasingly loud voice of the social imperative. This poses challenges foreducational institutions which, beyond helping students become subject experts, need to takethe responsibility for preparing them to ‘deal with global communicative practices online, inall their complexity’[2]. This trend toward developing skills needed to fully operate in highlyglobalised and cross-cultural settings as a necessary top-up to ‘technical core competencies’[3]has become

program,it awards a highest degree of Bachelors in Engineering with Honors (BEngH).6 Additionally,this program was found to be much less technically rigorous than either the English MEng orAmerican BS engineering degrees. This absence of rigor in terms of higher level math andscience skills and advanced engineering techniques results in a student graduating with a skill setquite different than most American institutions would consider applicable for an engineering BSdegree. It is more in line with an American Associate of Science degree (AS). However, asecond type of engineering degree program exists at some Scottish universities and appears to bemuch better aligned to the USA degrees, as shown in Figure 3.
