. A 3-weekPBL program for undergraduate students was initiated during the summers of 2021 and 2022.The summer programs involved a total of 129 students, 5 course instructors, 20 industry mentors,and 20 academic mentors. The involved projects are proposed by industry sponsors, spanningcutting-edge technology and important social topics such as smart health, senior care, androbotics. The 3-week term of the projects is significantly shorter than a typical project life thatranges from seven weeks to an academic year. Each project was appointed with three designatedmentors, including an international academic mentor who connects with the teams remotely, anindustry mentor from the industrial project sponsor, and an onsite mentor who offers

Gerhardt*, Peggy Blumenthal**, Susannah Spodek** Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute*/Institute of International Education** IntroductionMore than 96% of humanity lives outside the borders of the continental United States. Of the 15million Americans studying in higher education in the United States each year, only about 1% goabroad as part of their undergraduate educational experience. Moreover, less than 3% of this 1%are

Assignments were also added to help achieve the courseoutcomes. For the outcome “Interpret national and international green standards for buildingdesign and construction” a new project was added to the assignment in which students had tofind a few LEED O+M certified projects and study the projects. They had to then present theirfindings in class and develop an essay to discuss the different aspects of each project. Given thatmany countries in the world are using the LEED system, this assignment helps students becomefamiliar with the different ways LEED criteria are applied in different contexts and

While the survey answers brought up numbers and statistics,interviews are required to get more in-depth understanding and reasoning behind the answers inthe survey.

increase in the number of participantscan be explained by the lack of alternatives. Many institutes did not or could not offer theirlaboratory courses in that year, due to missing remote and human-remote capabilities. The nextyear, 2021/22, was a mix between human-remote and hands-on laboratory session, since short-term lock-downs (re-)occurred frequently but in an unexpected way. The number of studentsparticipating that year was 93. In class of 2022/23, all material tests were performed in a hands-on manner. 68 students chose to take the course in this year. In all years, roughly 10 % percent ofstudents were international students. The course language is English, but reports can beoptionally written and results be presented in German.2.3 Feedback
