technological and collaboratively global nature of 21st Century engineers. Thismay lower the interest and engagement for students and leave them less prepared if they do2pursue an engineering career path later on (Fralick et al., 2009; Knight & Cunningham,2004).There were a few studies, mostly at the level of higher education, which investigated thebenefits of study abroad collaborative engineering programs (Streiner et al., 2015). Thestudents who participated in these studies acquired a greater understanding of the currentissues that engineers face in a global and social context (Jesiek et al., 2014). However, itmay be unrealistic and financially difficult for K-12 students to study abroad andexperience the benefits of international learning

The fact that studentscompete to attend the Region’s engineering institutions is not indicative of the shortcomings ofthese colleges.
