In the firstyear of college, they learn the basics of programming, so they can apply their computing skills forfuture engineering courses. Different schools use different programming languages, such asMATLAB, Visual Basic, C++, and Python for their engineering curriculum. However, Python isthe only one that is open source. Additionally, the language versatility, online community of users,and powerful analysis packages such as Numpy and Scipy have made this free

assess theirunderstanding of Lego Robotics on a scale of 1 to 5, 5 indicating very good understanding and 1very little. The questions dealt with building with Legos, programming robots, teamwork,applying the EDP to solve robotics problems, sensors and their functions, and engineering andtechnology. Part II involved three questions. In it the students were asked to identify specificthings they learned in the class and to rate how the class contributed to their understanding ofproblem solving. Part III dealt with three types of questions: (a) Students’ understanding ofconcepts like engineering, technology, and the engineering design process; (b) Students’ interestin engineering as field of study or career and their view of the steps necessary to
thedevelopment of international research experiences for undergraduates students that mirror theREUs that have traditionally been offered at domestic universities.2.2 Domestic and international REUsThe National Council on Undergraduate Research defines undergraduate research as “Aninquiry or investigation conducted by an undergraduate student that makes an originalintellectual or creative contribution to the discipline” and identifies six key benefits of theseexperiences: a) enhancing student learning through mentoring relationships with faculty, b)increasing retention, c) increasing enrollment in graduate education and providing effectivecareer preparation, d) developing critical thinking creativity, problem solving, and intellectualindependence, e
democratic reforms. In Western culture, management styles tend toemphasize performance [13]. For individualists, priorities are set based on individual andimmediate family considerations [6]. Islam influences family relations and orientation, hierarchical distance, and collectivismresulting in dominant paternalism. For collectivists, the needs of the group far outweigh needs ofa few individuals [6]. Ali [3] stated Islam can play an influential role and can contribute toshaping the mindset of individual and group behavior among Arabs. Islam governs all aspects oflife within Arab society and Ali ascribed certain behavioral characteristics to its members: (a) adeep sense of family honor, (b) pay more respect to elderlies and (c) respect for
