participants exhibited gains in their skills along with enthusiasm and motivation toundertake further global engagement. To a practitioner in the field of global engineeringeducation, this is exciting. However, gateway course students are a subset of a significantlylarger population of global experience alumni (at the Pennsylvania State University’s College ofEngineering and across peer engineering colleges). Thus, a question remains: How can theenthusiasm of global experience participants be harnessed into scalable, sustained momentum toforge global leaders?References[1] M. E. Mendenhall, B. S.

standardized Sustainability LiteracyTest (Sulitest). A t-test analysis was applied. The results show statistically significant differencesof sustainability knowledge scores between engineering students, reporting generation Z(M=53.8, SD=5.01) scored higher than generation Y (M=44.3, SD=0.27, t (92) = -4.1964, p =.01374. The findings provide (a) meaningful insights to foster EDS, (b) a better understanding ofmeasuring sustainability knowledge among engineering students from generation Z andgeneration Y, and (c) recommendations to incorporate sustainability curriculum developmentinitiatives for future sustainable global engineering courses.IntroductionHigher Education Institutions (HEIs) are crucial in fostering sustainability awareness, which

As a result, the taxonomic level of learning providedby Sulitest is knowledge, as the items in the questionnaire refer to facts and concepts [13;14].Assessing knowledge involves the ability to remember facts, concepts, and theories; it is locatedat the at the bottom of the Bloom’s taxonomy of cognitive objectives [13]. Although theFoundational Matrix of Sulitest is based mainly on knowledge, it is expected that the instrumentcould include questions that not only assess skills, but also mindset components in the future[13].The test is composed of four themes of knowledge: (a) Sustainable Humanity and Ecosystems,(b) Global and Local Human-constructed

indicates that general engineering courses aim to engage students inauthentic, project-based learning that encourages the active integration of multidisciplinaryknowledge and skills, thereby fostering a range of comprehensive competencies, includinginterdisciplinary thinking in real-world contexts (Chen X. M., 2006). Based on thisunderstanding, we argue that authenticity constitutes the core characteristic of generalengineering courses, which is embodied in the following five dimensions: (a)AuthenticContext: The learning environments created in such courses closely resemble real-worldprofessional settings or work scenarios that students are likely to encounter in their futurecareers. (b)Authentic Process: Students engage with the full spectrum of

fromGlobal North/Western and developing countries as they collaborate to promote global acumen.The key takeaways from this study could be summarized as: 1. Global acumen, or global awareness, is essential for navigating diverse environments and collaborating effectively across borders. a. Ignoring cultural differences can have disastrous results in cross-cultural collaborations. b. Faculty development is necessary to guide the development of global acumen in students. 2. Establishing trust and building personal relationships between collaborators is crucial for successful collaboration. 3. Understanding and articulating the motivations and goals of the collaboration is crucial for

personal and professional lives - making it hard to build trust which is generallyimportant in successful AL-based lessons. Another impediment ensues when students prefer tomaintain anonymity, being extraordinarily reserved or not wanting to be personallyembarrassed. The end result is low class participation; potentially destroying the foundation ofAL-based strategies. We reflected on some strategies that have potential to counteract some ofthe aforementioned challenges, namely: (a) the facilitator can consider intentionally creating opportunities for one-on-one engagements with the students. Slowly, this process may lead to building trust between the student and the facilitator (b) The facilitator should devise ways of

IVE team members were introduced and spent time learning about and practicing elements of intercultural dialogue. This period also focused on team formation through the development of a team contract. While the dedicated intercultural dialogue sessions lasted for just the first two weeks, intercultural
