These students also expressed their desireto join the workforce that connects such businesses. The students also expressed how they werelearning engineering by dealing with real and relevant problems and the challenges of learningnew technical vocabulary in another language. As with the first prompt, students mentioneddeveloping the professional skill of working in a team.Figure 3. How did this bilingual, international engineering course differ from otherengineering courses?The third prompt asked the students to discuss the challenges with the course. The mostcommon word used was different (Figure 3). This is

Three of the projectinvestigators are male and three are female. Three faculty are from the Mathematical andComputer Sciences Department, two are from the Engineering Division, and one is from theLiberal Arts and International Studies Program. In combination, this investigative team
four person teams examine projects through the feasibility andconcept design phases to evolve and develop concepts that are not only technically feasible buteconomically, culturally, socially and politically acceptable. Course projects require literaturesearches and regulatory investigations. The technical nature of projects includes biological,chemical, mass transfer, and physical processes studied by the students in previous courses. Alesson on design heuristics is included to facilitate brain storming sessions. The use of decisionmodels to evaluate alternatives is required. Students also analyze the carbon footprint ofpotential courses of action and use this information in their decision models. In addition, allprojects include design of
in collaboration with a community oreven international partner and give students the opportunity to interact with people outside theirdisciplines. Key components of service-learning include critical reflection and reciprocity [3].Reflection requires that students articulate the experience, while reciprocity requires that studentsaddress the real needs of sponsor to meet the learning outcomes. Because of reciprocity, theseprojects are more likely to be viewed by students as worthwhile given the creative freedom, thefeelings of empathy or for personal satisfaction [1]. Notwithstanding, service-learning projectscan bring risks such as an ill-defined project scope by not having a team of engineers define it, alack of direction by not having a

He is developing and teaching a pilot introduction to the major course at CBU and an introduction to engineering design course.

The main objective of the coursesis to educate students who are expected to work after their graduation as global engineers tobe the support and driving force of Japan in the English-speaking world of the 21 st century.The global engineer is difficult to define itself, however, he/she will be generally required tohave acquired at least the five abilities: basic engineering knowledge in English,communication ability in English, creativity, management ability, and international sense (1,2).Kanazawa Institute of Technology (KIT) (3), Japan has made to start at its

Guild workshop is based on a curriculum designed by the first and fifthauthors and is shown in Table 1. As illustrated, we included a number of exercises, topics, games,presentations, and opportunities for hands-on experience. The schedule was created such that allbasic technical skills were taught during the first two days of the workshop, and then on day 3 ofthe workshop, we included activities to help participants practice these skills.Our curriculum was devised to touch on interdisciplinary topics over different days, which couldappeal to a wide range of interests (i.e., art, music, community involvement). Examples of theseactivities included creating a self-portrait using programming, composing musical tunes withPython coding, and crowd

High enrollments in the initialcertificate courses such as “PC Operating Systems” and “PC Hardware” prompted theadministration to commit funding to subsequent years. Additional funding was realized from thebiennial OBR Technical Equipment Funding. These monies enabled the CSS Program topurchase more up-to-date Pentium-based PC’s as well as other equipment such as a scanner, andlaser and color printers. Approaches to industry are presently being made for additional fundingfrom private sources.The original prerequisites for enrolling in the certificate program were simply DOS andWindows 3.x experience.

The criticality of these issues andpotential ways to expose students to such skill sets has been encouraged by the publication of aSpecial Issue on Engineering Education: Beyond Technical Skills [7]. ABET also indicates theneed for such skill development via Criterion 3 where students must display the ability tofunction on multidisciplinary teams, understand professional and ethical responsibility,communicate effectively, and understand the impact of engineering solutions in a context thatincludes global

In this sense, it is relevant to appreciate how the attributes WA9(Individual and teamwork) and WA10 (Communication), traditionally associated to softskills, are interlinked with research, favoring the deployment of technical skills. The former isconsistent with the approach seen in [15], in the sense that solving problems involves muchmore than merely applying technical skills.The results corroborate the above given that, for the three groups involved, dimension threecorrelates highly. While dimension 1 correlates

In the MRT, participants are given one figure on the left and are presented withfour figures on the right that may be rotated views of the original left figure. Each answer hastwo correct options and two incorrect options, and participants earn 1 point if they select bothrotated views, and 0 if they do not identify both figures.

Change 2: Addition of third-year civil engineering students from An-Najah enrolled in an introductory environmental engineering course. This more than doubled the number of students from this institution. It also engaged a second faculty member from An-Najah. Change 3: Implementation of cross-cultural dialogue sessions for IVE teams prior to the start of the project. These sessions were developed based on the feedback, observations, and lessons learned from the 2021 iteration of

These challenges may inhibit their academic adjustment anddevelopment of a sense of belonging [3], [4], [6]. Although many universities have providedsupports for international students such as an International Center or an English LanguageCenter, international students may access and act on these resources differently due to their priorexperiences, cultural backgrounds, gender, and personalities [3], [4], [7], [8].
