Most candidates would be considered primarily for their experience, rather than such training without experience.Many deans were satisfied with the education, psychology or counseling graduates they havehired in the past for these types of positions and did not expect engineering education graduatesto be more desirable.

Students of color andmore often African American college students at predominantly white institutions are oftenalready vulnerable to such negativism. Since study abroad is rarely required as part of theundergraduate curriculum, they are more likely to decline the opportunity even in the presence ofother incentives [11], [6]. Studying abroad is often marketed as a means to improve ones’ crosscultural experience. For the minority student
