Within the context of this case study, educators are guided to establishreasonable expectations for study abroad experiences so that a new program can be rewarding forboth students and faculty.IntroductionEngineering courses can be intimidating to a non-engineer. In fact, they often intimidate ourown engineering majors. Students hear about the hours upon hours of homework, or they hearabout the impossible tests and low averages. While these challenges could deter students,engineering educators know that engineering is full of excitement, novel innovations

Small plexiglass laser cut circles were added to the top of the buttons partway throughassembly to make the buttons protrude more from the surface of the device.Finally, the device itself is fairly large when compared to a standard smartphone.

The survey consists in questions aboutthe group performance resulting in answers of 88% and 92% as ‘always’ for the differentquestions, permitting a conclusion that the students are well prepared for team working and theyused this skill for the projects with positive results. The Program emphasizes this soft skill indifferent courses; therefore, students developed different methods to work together.

Thetwo classes responded similarly: 3.33/5.0 and 3.46/5.0 (These are student weightedaverages.) indicating a weak “agree.” However, the instructor’s evaluation of a drawingsamples resulted in a weak “disagree” (2.61) for the four classes.
