Incollaboration with Patiste Marcel Gilmore, Education Research Analyst at Mt.

Building on the case studies they worked on (to provide scaffolding for this assignment and get the students working on the project as early as possible) they will create a short report and a short presentation. All students will be expected to contribute to all parts of this activity. The instructors will assess how the students shared the work, how much they interacted to prepare the report and presentation, who did they seek help from (ideally almost all faculty being involved in the course). 4- Reflections: Students will be asked to reflect

Finally, Engagement (15%) was assessedas part of the grade because participation was considered a significant aspect of this immersivecourse experience. A summary of all assignments and the learning objectives they addressed isincluded in Table 4. An “unofficial objective” of cultural awareness is included because it wasalso intended that, as a study abroad course, the students would gain a sense of culturalawareness during their experience abroad.Table 4

This retrospective pre/post questionnaire technique helps to alleviate response-shift biaspresent in self-assessed changes in learning attitudes. Our findings show that collaborativepresentation videos increased self-reported audience interest in engineering, and perceptions ofdisciplinary relatedness more than the non-collaborative, individual presentations made by thesame researchers. These results suggest a beneficial role for collaborative communicationstrategies to foster interest in engineering among public audiences, even among people without abackground in STEM. Further
