Engineering Education, 2022 International engineering students’ resistance to isolating university experiences: An opportunity for greater inclusion in engineering education Abstract: In recent years, large numbers of international students are attending engineering schools in the US; however, more could be done by the schools to support the unique challenges these students face. This study analyzes five semi- structured interviews with international electrical and computer engineering students at Purdue University to identify the unique challenges they face due to their international status, how they persist despite the challenges, and what engineering schools

build inclusive societies [5].Engineering educators have been increasingly concerned about students’ global competenciesand connection to global issues. Industry leaders want students to have global skill sets, anunderstanding of cultures, and awareness of attitudes connected to U.S. arrogance anddisconnection from global concerns, in order to avoid cultural insensitivity. Further, there areconcerns that educators are not acknowledging the need for global competencies, which leads tolack of student participation in global activities. In addition, limited international experience onthe part of faculty and staff is an identified obstacle that reduces student participation in studyabroad and international education activities, particularly when

This could be conceptualized from the framework of Bloom’staxonomy ranging from knowledge (lower level) to ethical reasoning (higher level) [6]. It couldalso be conceptualized around stages such as recognition of an ethical dilemma, gatheringrelevant information, analysis of information and correctly applying ethical constructs,considering the perspectives of multiple stakeholders, and selecting an

Furthermore, these problems can only beaddressed through interdisciplinary collaboration between professionals in many differentfields and regions of the world.In order to solve the important societal problems present in the world today, including theGCE, future generations of engineers must have an interdisciplinary, global perspective[2, 3].In education, there are several different ways that students may become more culturallyaware and develop a more global perspective including living in a different country (studyabroad), interacting with students abroad through international courses, working on globalproject teams, or learning about another culture through a textbook or course materials.Several
