Somewhere along the way, though, the internationalexperience doesn’t seem to fit within the engineering curriculum; there are too many courserequirements to complete before graduation; and students drop off from their grander intentions,many even letting go of their hopes of developing a better understanding of a foreign languagewhile at college.

In this respect, the paper focuses on:(i) the cognitiveprocesses that faculty would most likely tend to follow as they grow and learn more aboutteaching and learning,(ii) the discipline-based industrial/practical experience they need to acquirein their locale to add to their repertoire as “practitioners” of engineering, and (iii) the institutionalinitiatives, including: administrative support
