Policymakers have begun to acknowledge this large international studentpopulation—for example, the aforementioned NASEM’s report includes citizenship in diversityindices along with traditional measures, particularly in STEM graduate education [2]. Despitethese inclusion efforts and acknowledgment at the government level, the current research onengineering graduate students’ experiences lack sufficient consideration of international students[6]. In addition to international students, there is another group of students who has beenoverlooked both in engineering and higher education—master’s students.

This experience demonstrates that through innovation, some of the engineering laboratory courses can be taught remotely without sacrificing any experiments.1. Introduction One of the most meaningful measures of an engineering program is for its graduates to be able to perform from the first day on the job. It is only through a fine interplay of the theory and practice that such an outcome can be achieved. Hence, it is imperative that when developing courses and curricula, we keep a theory to practice outcome in mind. What distinguishes the new graduates in

Typically, the software experts lacksupply chain expertise and the supply chain experts often possess limited understanding ofinformation technology. Furthermore, systems alone rarely provide the solution to supply chainproblems; instead, most system implementation efforts require process reengineering andoccasionally major organizational upheaval [7
