Interestingly, students often adopted additional tools beyond those initially suggested, demonstrating adaptability and initiative in managing their collaborations. It was also important to prime these students to navigate intercultural collaborations prior to the exchange through short class activities that introduced the idea of intercultural competency and raised their awareness on the impact of cultural differences on communication and working styles. Even though both of our courses were primarily focused on engineering and biotechnology, the exchange evolved over time, resulting in a truly multicultural experience that extended beyond academic learning.

Despite its significance, LCA is rarelyintegrated into most educational curricula. An example is the k-12 curricula. To address thiseducational gap, we developed an outreach module that introduces LCA concepts through anaccessible and engaging experiment involving a related food item, popcorn.

Students in the program were paired, one-on-one, withstudent coaches, and it was expected that tutoring arrangements as well as social engagements(paid for through our program) would be made by the student-coach pairs. We saw mixed resultswith this arrangement. Overall the number of students who registered for the program was rathersmall (about 30 students per year).

throughstructural or cultural shifts within the engineering community, including especially through howhidden curriculum messaging shapes the student experience, both within and beyond theircoursework. School climate is malleable and can serve as a high-impact, if often elusive, targetfor intervention. A crucial goal for effective educational reform is to identify diverse dimensionsof the learning environment that can be altered to improve student outcomes. For instance,faculty have considerable control over the tone set in their classrooms around the appropriatenessof asking for assistance, for setting assignment flexibility policies and responses, and forattending to students’ learning experiences in addition to their learning outcomes. Faculty can
