Asmentioned in Sense of Belonging: A Vital Mental Health Concept, sense of belonging is “theexperience of personal involvement in a system or environment so that individuals feel themselvesto be an integral part of that system or environment” [24]. “I have heard at least most if not all my engineering female friends share that they feel they don’t belong in engineering. This is more universal amongst women from all backgrounds. In fact I had a boss, a woman, who suggested I leave engineering and consider other careers. This is after I already had received my PhD and had a string of accomplishments, patents, and scientific publications to my name. Unwrapping all these

The combination of lectures,company visits, and travel required adaptation in every student to fully synthesize our learnings. Included in the program were language and history classes, taught one to two times a week bymembers of the Brazilian community. A prominent objective of the program was to immerse students in aforeign culture and allow them to appreciate the engineering curriculum in a new space. These languageand history classes allowed us to do just that. By learning the basics of Portuguese, we could acknowledgethose showing us generosity throughout the visits.

Having a changing environment, withvarious globalization scenarios playing out, with free trade and multilateral social andeconomic agreements, the curriculum of engineering has undergone significant changes. Thisevolution has led to the concept of Global Engineering, which was first introduced in theIndustrial Engineering program at Northern Illinois University, which emphasizes thedevelopment of globally-focused engineering education [8].Developing a global engineering practice entails addressing issues from a much widerperspective. In order to achieve this, it becomes crucial to integrate and

Individuals with expertise in intercultural learning, programleaders, and administrators serving at the dean level with international program responsibilitieswere consulted. The development of a curricular framework that integrated their feedback wascreated. One modification to the proposed curriculum was the addition of cultural humility as afocal point.

The opposite is true for theGlobalCUNY model, which consists of eight weeks or more of a research experience modeledafter the traditional REU programs. In earlier work, several essential operational elements wereidentified in the programming [43].

Defining sustainability involves the adoption ofthree key dimensions that drive sustainable development (SD): environmental, social, andeconomic dimensions [8, 9]. Additionally, [10] stated SD is an endeavor to ensuring anequilibrium among economic growth, environmental integrity, and social well-being. As a result,understanding the environmental, social, and economic dimensions as well as theirinterconnections implies a certain level of complexity in the effort of incorporating
