Paper ID #16050Determining Student Learning Across a Range of Experiences During a StudyAbroad ModuleMs. Catherine A. Twyman, Virginia Tech Catherine Twyman is a doctoral student in the Department of Engineering Education at Virginia Tech. Catherine’s background is in mechanical engineering with a M.Eng. and a B.S. from Virginia Tech. Her research interests are centered around studying and creating experiences for students to learn inter-cultural and global competency skills.Dr. David B. Knight, Virginia Tech David Knight is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Engineering Education and affiliate faculty with
Engineering Alumni, 10 and 15Year EngineeringAlumni, and members of the various Departmental and College Advisory Committees. Twoweb-based survey versions were developed and distributed with the use of Qualtrics softwarepackage. The first focused on 2 and 3 Yr Alumni. The second focused on 10 and 15Year Alumniand Advisory Committees. For both surveys and for each of the eight identified competencies,participants were first asked to rate A) the Importance – How important do you think this topic isto engineering education? (1= Not Important 5= extremely important, or No Opinion) and B)Preparation – How well have you [recent undergraduates for alumni and advisor] been preparedin these areas? (1 = Not prepared; 5 = Well Prepared; or No Opinion). Each

global competition and scientific breakthroughs.…companies want to increase the proportion of their innovation that is “break-through” or“disruptive” as opposed to incremental. 5”Observation 1: faculty are most comfortable teaching the technical – a. faculty are recruited, rewarded and promoted primarily based on their potential and ability to create new knowledge and expand their technical expertise and esteem; b. teaching priorities have traditionally focused on delivering the “hard” skills rooted in math, science and engineering fundamentals including design, problem-solving and analytical components. We know from our own faculty that they do value teaching and student learning. They agree that the non-technical, leadership

Both industry and academia benefit by developing keyrelationships on a global scale. As more engineers are needed with global collaborative skills,efforts like the SGDC can develop engineers to face the needs of today’s (and tomorrow’s)industry.The students in the pilot showed a significant increase in their understanding of cross-culturalcommunication and globalization. The next implementation will provide an additionalopportunity for students to participate in a global design team.References1. Whitman, L.E., Malzahn, D. E., Chaparro, B

perceivedresponse was very positive and that the villagers accepted and would continue to use the projects.In terms of maintaining the technology, however, the students were more skeptical of the abilityof the villagers to maintain the technology. Personal interviews with the villagers showed thatthey were very grateful and excited to see how these projects would help them to receive thebasic needs of life. Acceptance level of the projects usually depended on the technicality of theproject or process being implemented. Overall, the more technically complicated a project was,the more difficult it was for the people to understand, maintain, and use. Upon post-implementation follow-up, this observation was confirmed as the more complicated projectswere
