initial collaborationAbstractThe economic, social, environmental, and scientific interrelatedness of our ecological survivaldepend on shifts in how we educate the next generation of educators, engineers, scientists, andsocial activists. Education, both formal and informal, as well as social activism, have to findways to cross borders, collaborating to find solutions to the pressing problems of our time. Onthe South Texas Gulf Coast, one of these pressing issues is stormwater management and policy,but it has been challenging to effectively engage local leaders, water professionals, researchers,and community stakeholders in the solution-seeking process. To overcome this challenge, theresearch team adopted a transdisciplinary methodology to pilot a

Practitioner A shared the following: “The TA (teaching assistant) helped a lot by monitoring students’ use of the chat and reaction functions. The TA also ensured that students had cameras on during instruction. Additionally, the TA was instrumental in determining if students were logged on, fully engaged, and completing tasks and assignments.”.”Practitioners C and D were more structured when addressing virtual etiquette expectations.

The first recommendation is tosend a follow-on delegation of UA Engineering Faculty and the Director of the Study AbroadProgram to develop robust plans to control program costs and attract more students in the secondcourse offering in the summer of 2018. As stated earlier, personal relationships are the key tothe long-term sustainability of this program, and given communications challenges, these arebest done face to face and in Cuba.Secondly we must continue to broaden the participation of research-focused faculty on bothcampuses in this program.

These studies have shown that MEAs: 1) Encourage a different perspective regarding the use of engineering concepts, with students applying concepts to achieve a broad, high-level solution rather than a low-level formulaic, rote approach10. 2) Encourage students to work collaboratively and cooperatively as a group, honing

The authors hypothesize that studentslearn and re-learn design thinking and the design process by doing authentic activities in project-based learning courses similar to the course Group 2 participants were engaged in.

During the “Mind Your Brain” challenge, most high schoolers revealed that they hadno idea of the designing procedures, even though they didn’t know the differences between themost commonly used unit systems, the international unit system, and the U.S. Customized unitsystem.
