skills that are needed to make lasting connections after graduating college.The program cultivates a sense of belonging to international members who may not have theirfamilies close to home for support. The program has been deemed highly beneficial forinternational students due to the fact that it enhances the network for individuals to discover newemployment opportunities. After graduation, program graduates can potentially benefit fromthese relationships by obtaining a highly desired employment position or by receiving anoutstanding recommendation from various industry CEO’s who have a first-hand demonstrationof the student’s real-world experience and professional demeanor.Introduction Middle Tennessee State University’s Human Exploration

The program allows students to learn from international cultural mentors anddevelop solutions to real-life challenges. Students are presented with scenarios from currentchallenges in sub-Saharan African healthcare settings. The program is free for all participants,and under-represented students and those who have not traveled internationally were encouragedto apply.In November 2021, we held our first workshop to

As the mine and its subsequentdigital interventions allow for an experience in which students can repeatedly come back to,as this enables active student participation and observation through experimentation. Thefollowing examples demonstrate the application of XR tools developed for education in themining industry: • ThoroughTec Simulation’s CYBERMINE: is designed to fully replicate a mining vehicle’s cabin which virtually simulates the operation of real-world, heavy-duty mining

Authentic learning typically features several structural characteristics, includingauthentic context, authentic tasks, authentic outcomes, authentic identity, and authentic value(Sasha A. et al., 2000; Strobel et al., 2013). These elements serve as a vital bridge betweenabstract engineering knowledge and its practical application in real-world professionalenvironments—a process often referred to as "Bridging Apprenticeships."

Studies reveal a troubling trend: senior engineering students generatefewer innovative solutions than first-year peers, signaling a decline in creative capacity as educationprogresses [4,5]. Industry leaders increasingly stress that engineers must complement technicalskills with creative agility to address unstructured problems [6].Creativity is particularly pertinent to engineering design and problem-solving as it enablesengineers to rethink problems, question assumptions, and explore unconventional solutions.

Survey DesignDeveloped by Elby et al., the Epistemological Beliefs Assessment for Physical Science(EBAPS) is a 30-item, forced-choice, Likert-type questionnaire designed to measure students’epistemic beliefs about the physical sciences. Each question is scored from 0 to 4, indicatingthe least to most sophisticated belief. The instrument is organized around five nonorthogonalaxes: (1) Structure of Scientific Knowledge, (2) Nature of Knowing and Learning, (3) Real-Life Applicability, (4) Evolving Knowledge, and (5) Source of Ability to Learn. A detailedexplanation of these axes is provided in Table 3. For more information on EBAPS, includingscoring rubrics and administration guidelines, please visit its official websites[6], [20].Table 3

Thedevelopment of critical thinking skills such as identifying problems, gathering relevantinformation, analyzing and interpreting data, and drawing appropriate conclusions is necessary inorder to solve these problems. The development of intercultural competencies is also necessaryso that future engineers are able to apply their skills successfully to real-world problems that areencountered in a global economy.

The mostcited definition of sustainable development has been provided by Brundtland CommissionReport or the “Report of the World Commission on Environment and Development: OurCommon Future” published by the United Nations in 1987. According to the BrundtlandCommission Report, SD is defined as “development that meets the needs of the currentgeneration without compromising the ability of future generations to meets their own needs”[12].Education stands as a fundamental cornerstone in achieving Sustainable Development [13].Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) has garnered growing recognition since the1990s, following the United Nations
