The inclusive team-based learning items used the same response scale as the General Self-efficacy Scale, given theevidence of high reliability and cross-cultural validity [25]. Additionally, the survey askedstudents to rate how easy or difficult the 16 inclusive team-based learning activities felt, giventhat team-based activities can involve intercultural exchange. This strategy was informed by theconcept of intercultural effort [19], which explains that measuring students’ intergroupengagement without also measuring the effort required to engage across such

Global identity refers to an individual’s sense of self as amember of the global community, encompassing awareness of global issues, appreciation forcultural diversity, and a sense of global responsibility [4].STEM education plays a pivotal role in addressing global challenges and driving innovation.However, STEM fields have traditionally focused on technical skills, often overlooking theimportance of intercultural competence and global awareness [5], [6] [7].

Eventhough equitable and effective teaching depends on changes to the larger higher educationsystem, instructors play a crucial role in serving their students. The framework consists of sevenprinciples: (1) students need opportunities to engage in disciplinary learning actively, (2) toconnect to and leverage students’ diverse interests and goals, prior knowledge and experiencesenhance learning, (3) STEM learning involves affective and social dimensions, (4) identity andsense of belonging shape STEM learning, (5) multiple forms of data can provide evidence

This meets one of the important goals of the workshop, to help teachers better communicate the role of an engineer to their students.  Teachers were asked to quantify their understanding of different aspects of engineering on a scale of 1 to 5. Through a comparison of pre- and post- survey data, the participants demonstrated an increased level of understanding of the impact of engineering on improving life (+4% increase), the difference between science and engineering (+12% increase), the value of an engineering career (+2% increase), and the “art” aspect
