As a result, in 2004, the San José StateUniversity’s (SJSU) Charles W. Davidson College of

From the survey, 100% of members said that the Rover Project helped themlearn the technical skills required to be successful in the industry. All of the students who haveworked on the Rover project said they would recommend this program to other students. Inaddition to what is listed in the table, out of the members who participate in the Rover project,95% receive highly desired jobs upon graduation both at the national and international level.ConclusionAlthough the Rover program requires a substantial amount time and effort on top of the routinelecture courses, the

Each year over 140 Scholarsare engaged in a mentored research experience with a CUNY faculty member1.It is well documented the importance and benefits of STEM students having some type ofinternational experience2, 3. Additionally, higher education is moving forward with embracing theconcept of educating engineers as a global citizen4. Therefore in 2008 an approach wasimplemented to allow LSAMP scholars to integrate an International Experience into theirundergraduate studies. The multi-pronged approach consists of, 1) collaborating with existingprograms within the NSF

It is primarily a call to consider how students engage in their college experience,and to search for proper tools that can be deployed to stimulate learning.In moving forward, there are numerous tools available to select from, including the modelspredicated on cooperation; i.e., working together to accomplish shared goals. Withincooperative activities, individuals seek outcomes that are beneficial to them and also benefitall other group members. (2, 3) Cooperative learning researchers and practitioners have shownthat positive peer relations are essential to success in college. The positive interpersonalrelationships promoted through cooperative learning are regarded by most as crucial totoday’s learning communities. They

of programs and experiences that are offered to engineering students include studyabroad, globally-oriented class experiences, global projects, international internships, andinternational research experiences3,4. Study abroad experiences are often accomplished throughshort- or long-term sojourns, or bilateral exchange of students between universities. Someschools also offer global engineering courses that emphasize historical and cultural themes,sometimes through engagement with guest speakers.3 Service projects with global dimensionsare another prevalent program format. These program options vary according to factors such asduration, language requirements, context of work, extent of interactions with natives of the hostcountry, and

Higher Education Institutions have been working on increasinginternationalization during the last years knowing that it improves our students’ ability to facefuture challenges.This internationalization has different phases. Deardorff et al. (2018) propose 6 phases. Phase 1:Study abroad programs with a transformative effect. Phase 2: International student recruitment:the bigger number of international students in the institution, the richer and more diverseatmosphere is. Phase 3: Coordination and Collaboration creating a centralized office. Phase 4:Building Community launching activities to strengthen links like an international day ororganizing receptions at the beginning and end of the academic year. Phase 5: Curriculumdevelopment

In comparing perspectives from students who hadcompleted this software course in the traditional, instructor-lecture style versus the PBLapproach, the students in the latter cohort evaluated PBL to be more effective for deepknowledge and international-project experience (Olivares-Ceja et al., 2017).3. Methods3.1 Course StructureThe project-based-learning (PBL) course was designed to include minimal technical lecture bythe instructors. However, a core component of the course was a series of guest speakers whospoke about some of the “soft skills” relevant to international teamwork. Five teams ofapproximately four students each were formed using the CATME team
, so effective instruction usesmultiple approaches. Lang connects internal and external learning opportunities [11], concluding“comprehension lies outside of the classroom,” meaning that students need time to process andimplement the traditional lecture material.Caudron [12] suggests that educators consider the following five areas when teaching students—with many of these strategies exemplified in the recent improvement of this class: (1) Make learning experiential by engaging students in cooperative learning experiences. (2) Give students control over their learning. (3) Highlight key points, as new learners are ‘surfers’ and ‘scanners’ rather than readers and viewers. (4) Motivate learning by engaging
future deployment of a virtual remote learning program that may better prepareincoming students without the challenges related to an in-person format. The design of thisprogram may allow departments and institutions to extend their outreach efforts, recruitment, andstudent preparation to students nationally or internationally.Program Design and FormatThe program was designed as a five-week format that is equivalent to one summer session in thequarter system. The program's target goals included (1) increasing student experiences onimportant technical skills, (2) increasing student professional development skills, and (3)providing students with opportunities to advance their careers. The program was organized intoa morning session focused on

Study abroad experiences are known toprovide cultural immersion that exposes students to different social situations, and when relatedto the students’ academic program, these experiences provide technical diversity, or differentways to handle professional situations, that otherwise would not be experienced in the classroomor home institution (Downey et al., 2006; Lucena et al., 2008).
