The second approach,however, seems to have several advantages over the first one. It builds students knowledge andskills on project management, teaming, and design over time, and they develop individualportfolios. Students also work with an interdisciplinary faculty team throughout the three-courseproject management sequence and then again in the senior design capstone course. Not only willthey work with students from other disciplines, but multi-tasking will be required as well. TheIT feels that this is one of their next steps to continuous

, we suggest offering fieldtrips to local companies to community college students to help them achieve a similar broadeneddefinition of engineering. Overall, we highlight a need to expand access to study abroad programs and a need forprogram administrators to integrate potential transfer students into programs like RSAP carefullyand purposefully, especially when those students are older than their peers. This paper also callsfor more research into the experiences of potential transfer students, including longitudinalstudies, which assess the long-term impacts of participating in an experiential global learningprograms on success at a 4-year institution. Ultimately, additional research into the experiencesof potential transfer students

Their role in the classroom is to facilitate and guide, often throughquestioning, in ways that will help students reach understanding on their own. Studies on theLearning Assistant model have demonstrated numerous benefits, such as increased conceptualunderstanding; an increase in positive affective dimensions such as belonging; and an increase inwell-trained and enthusiastic future STEM teachers. While existing education research hasillustrated positive impacts on students in STEM classrooms, less work has focused on thepersonal and epistemological development of the LAs themselves.In this

Engineers should actively involve local communities in thedesign and implementation of projects, ensuring that solutions meet their requirements andrespect their cultural values. Engineers should prioritize environmentally sustainable practices,considering the long-term impacts of their projects on ecosystems and natural resources.Global competencies and social responsibility are particularly important for chemicalengineering undergraduate students to understand for several reasons.

Itsrelevance is steadily increasing as it addresses pressing global challenges related to renewableenergy which is driving innovation and economic growth [7].

Theory states that students are more motivated to pursue a career when theybelieve the profession affords the values that they personally endorse. Goal-Congruity furthercategorizes value into two forms, agency (wealth, prestige, power), and prosocial (working withand helping others, benefitting society). In our study, we focus on the often-overlookedprosocial value. This type of value system is important for two reasons. First, with theubiquitous nature of technology in the modern world, the consequence of engineering decisionscan have a devastating impact on society, often in the aggregate over time.

The techniques we used, some of them borrowedfrom professional leadership training programs, had a positive impact on the students, asrevealed by their weekly reflective essays and by individual communication with them duringand after the course. Students, perhaps subconsciously, created conflicts that enabled them tolearn lessons they needed to learn.One aspect of safety is how to limit the damage of mistakes while encouraging learning frommistakes. To that end, we chose not to have a real-world customer whose dependence on theproject success would have increased the damage from a potential project failure. Our focus wason the learning – in the

This shift from traditional lecturebased classes to more active, hands on teaching is especially impactful in classes where conceptsare particularly abstract and thus difficult to visualize or relate to everyday life9.
