ReadinessAbstractColleges of Engineering have increasingly emphasized the importance of engineering studentsobtaining professional skills relating to global readiness. This paper describes progress in a cross-sectional, longitudinal study to examine the impact that a College of Engineering at a large, mid-Atlantic public institution has on students’ global readiness and related constructs. Data werecollected from first-year and senior undergraduate engineering students for two years (2012-2013and 2013-2014). Research questions examined: 1) previous international experiences of incomingstudents, 2) international experiences that undergraduates have during their academic careers, 3)students’ perceived value of global readiness, 4) activities students perceive to be

forinternationalizing in higher education is highly placed on study abroad initiatives for domesticstudents and the attraction of international students to U.S. institutions [2]. In this endeavor, theU.S. is historically considered the most popular destination for international students, with overone million international students in the academic year 2018-2019 [3]. In terms of study abroad,the participation of U.S. students (excluding international students) has significantly increasedover the past decades from 55,000 in 1989-1990 [4] to 341,175 in the academic year 2017-2018[3]. However, while the participation rate is on the increase, “the actual number of students whoexperience study abroad remains a small fraction of the whole campus populations” [5, p

One of the many examples ofexperience-based learning is that of education abroad programs. According to Kolb’sexperiential learning theory, experiential learning is "the process whereby knowledge is createdthrough the transformation of experience16.” There are four steps in the learning cycle: 1)Concrete Experience 2) Reflective Observation 3) Abstract Conceptualization 4) ActiveExperimentation.

The use of communication technology can be found among thefour ‘mega trends’ that Shuman et al.[1] specifically identify for the field of engineering,alongside changes forced by the fragile world economy, student and professional mobility,and the increasingly loud voice of the social imperative. This poses challenges foreducational institutions which, beyond helping students become subject experts, need to takethe responsibility for preparing them to ‘deal with global communicative practices online, inall their complexity’[2].

From adisciplinary perspective, “mechanism” is mostly used in natural science, and it is also used insocial science. The application of “mechanism” in social science began in the late 1940s.Specifically, the dimensions of “mechanism” in social science include the structure, function,formation establishment form and carrier of the mechanism [3]. Regarding the formation ofmechanism, there are two viewpoints, i.e. historical evolutionism and constructivism.According to the internal quality assurance practice carried out by colleges and

program,it awards a highest degree of Bachelors in Engineering with Honors (BEngH).6 Additionally,this program was found to be much less technically rigorous than either the English MEng orAmerican BS engineering degrees. This absence of rigor in terms of higher level math andscience skills and advanced engineering techniques results in a student graduating with a skill setquite different than most American institutions would consider applicable for an engineering BSdegree. It is more in line with an American Associate of Science degree (AS). However, asecond type of engineering degree program exists at some Scottish universities and appears to bemuch better aligned to the USA degrees, as shown in Figure 3.
