These databases will be used as resources to expand student and faculty globalexperiences. Databases with grant and scholarships were also populated with step by stepprocesses set up to alleviate the hurdles for engineering students to go abroad.

Institutions decide to “go online”to increase enrollments and revenues but do so too often without seriously considering howcourse and degree offerings, and their design, align with the institutional mission and strategicgoals. When online learning is simply construed as digitally capturing what already happens in atraditional on-campus classroom and streaming that to remote students, institutions fail tocapture the exceptional
