Revisions to ABET criteria are partly in response to changes inengineering industry culture. Post-graduation, new engineers can expect to function onmultidisciplinary teams that may span geographic, cultural, and disciplinary differences.Engineering firms have used remote, international, and hybrid collaborative team structures to besuccessful during COVID-19, a trend that has gained momentum. Engineering curricula mustprepare graduates for this changing workforce dynamic. Aligning the engineeringcommunication curriculum to real-world communication challenges positions engineers-in-training to be adaptive, empathetic, and prepared

One way of integrating global competency learning intothe engineering curriculum is through study abroad programs [3]. These programs range induration such as two-week or summer-long time frames and focus on context, country, andlanguage-learning components. However, one of the main barriers for these programs isaccessibility and the lack of flexibility in engineering curricula. Hence, some programs offershort international experiences during the summer to allow students to participate

]. For engineering students, there can be additional obstacles, such asthe rigidity of an engineering curriculum and incentives to take an internship or co-op instead ofgoing abroad [7]. There is a need to continue researching why students do or do not study abroadand how they choose which program to participate in. This could help universities betterunderstand students' needs and design programs that minimize some of those barriers.The widely-used push-pull framework for students’ study abroad choice divides factors intothose which lead students to study away from their home institutions (push) and those thatinterest a student about a specific destination (pull) [8].
