: • RQ1: What are the curriculum complexity and study abroad participation rates for the largest majors at Purdue University? • RQ2: What is the correlation between curriculum complexity and study abroad participation at Purdue University? • RQ3: Is there a significant difference in curricular complexity or study abroad participation across colleges at Purdue University?Our project can provide insights to engineering programs seeking to improve study abroadparticipation about the challenges that may arise from curricular complexity and what strategiesmay help address this issue. Background In this section we will first describe perceptions of how challenging it is to study

In the book, Making Global Learning Universal, the authors offer a deeper understandingof what global learning is and how to effectively lead a global project on a large scale. Theyoffer professional development strategies in the context of student coursework and co-curricularactivities. This book offers a framework for universities to engage students in global learningprojects through actual experience and student participation (Landorf et al., 2018). The foremostexample of these projects is Collaborative Online International Learning, or COIL.

The aim of theproject was improving undergraduate educational practices at a university in Malawi byintegrating active learning strategies across the undergraduate engineering curriculum andcatalyzing curricular transformation. First this paper describes the framework used for theproject, and then it describes how it was applied for the design and implementation of a week-long faculty development workshop for 52 engineering faculty and staff from two universities inMalawi. This project was collaboratively implemented by a faculty team from Malawi and theUnited States in a way that facilitated bi-directional exchange between facilitators andparticipants.This paper contributes to the literature by offering a novel perspective on

CPFLRenováveis is a company of the CPFL Energia group and explores opportunities in the Brazilianmarket for generating electricity from renewable sources. During this 5 weeklong project, thestudents were asked to design and suggest improvements for CPFL to be more sustainable in 4sectors/processes by reducing the company’s energy and material usage. These 4 sectors andproject teams were: 1. Develop an integrated model of management and operational control of aquatic macrophytes

One such option is that described by Giovannelli & Sandekian [7]. The course offersan immersive experience within the institution bringing together students from diverse ethnicgroups to discuss course content in relation to their cultural beliefs. This served as a student-equipping gateway for the meaning and consequences of global engineering. as well as othersto foster knowledge of complexity in global engineering.
