detached from such a situation. We intentionally developed activities thatchallenge students’ thoughts and beliefs, so they connect their actions as students to their lives asworking professionals.We first examine ethics on a global scale by considering engineers’ roles in promoting globalhealth and wellbeing through sustainability. Students learn about green design andmanufacturing strategies through assigned readings, a video on cradle-to-cradle design, andgameplay. Students play the In the Loop ® board game, which teaches players about the finiteresources necessary for devices such as LCD screens, MRI machines, and wind turbines [1].Throughout the game, players develop strategies to manage limited resources using circulareconomies.

Reflection on the Road: How Recent First Year Students Exhibit Reflection During a Short-Term Study Abroad ExperienceAbstractStudy abroad experiences augment college and university curricula and expose students to aninternational setting with lectures, tours, and cultural activities. These studies raise awareness ofprofessional, social and cultural differences among countries. Students recognize globalchallenges to the engineering profession when they discover that another country faces similartechnical, social, cultural and resource-limiting challenges. They also learn that solutions tosimilar challenges in the U.S. may, or may not, be suitable in another country. Reflection is oneway to for students to derive

which included four fixed trays. While demonstrating concept proof-of-principle, these two designs were never intended to serve as deployable designs due to an over-reliance on materials, hardware, and shop skills. It was felt that a SFD design that could truly impactglobal hunger would be one that could be mass produced on location with minimal resources otherthan the primary building materials, and with minimal-to-no reliance on access to a machine shop.Nevertheless, these initial concept POP SFD designs helped to establish the framework whereby thecurrent Phase 2 designs might actually be suitable for introduction to the targeted region.

This is in contrast to the just-in-time tutoring sessions thatare more “drop-in” in format, getting answers to specific questions the students have. This paperwill assess the effects that these two different methods have on success rates in the course,defined as receiving an A, B, or C. Further, this paper will explore first semester engineeringretention data in order to assess the effects that these learning resources listed above have madeon the already effective engineering retention rates shown in the class as a whole. Finally, thispaper will explore the effect these methods have on particular student groups shown to
