. universities), acquireworld-class knowledge, and benefit the global economy by way of engineering contributions.However, graduate students from Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are generally understudied withinthe broader population of international engineering students. This is noteworthy becauseindividuals from SSA have among the highest rates of degree attainment, specifically inengineering and other STEM fields. Students from some West African countries like Nigeriahave among the highest levels of educational training of SSA students and Black populationsmore broadly.Expanding research on Black students from West Africa (WAFR) (a region within SSA) isparticularly important since not all Black students are the same. This work responds to a growingcall for

Students are divided into groups andassigned different roles based on their disciplinary backgrounds and expertise. They mustcollaborate effectively by communicating, sharing information, coordinating tasks, andresolving conflicts. This cooperative process not only sharpens students' sense of teamworkbut also allows them to experience firsthand the integration of interdisciplinary knowledge.Third, opportunities should be provided for students to engage with professional practicecommunities and collaborate with actual stakeholders such as industry experts, companyrepresentatives, and community members. Through these collaborations, students can

sustainability," underscoring the importance of developing competencies that enableengineers to operate effectively in diverse, globalized environments.Global competence encompasses adaptability, intercultural communication, and sustainabilityawareness, allowing engineers to engage with people from various backgrounds and addressglobal, intercultural, and local issues [2]. For example, the TA VIE project [3] highlights howinternational mobility experiences enhance critical competencies among engineering students,including communication, flexibility, and collaboration skills. However, research indicates thatgraduates often lack essential global competencies, particularly in interpersonal communication,adaptability, and engineering self-efficacy [1

This sometimes takes the form of “bounded solidarity”where they particularly devote their engagement to groups in the country with shared ethnicity[32]. Engagement in their community may also serve to reduce discrimination that immigrantssometimes face. Giving back locally may also help immigrants feel successful [28].

Furthermore, rapid changes beyond academic programs necessitatethe reinvention of the educational approach.A highlight of this study is its focus on the semiconductor and chip industry, a crucial sector for thedevelopment of advanced technologies and economic competitiveness of regions. The importance ofsemiconductors in today's global economy, particularly in areas such as computing, automotive, andtelecommunications, underlines the urgent need to strengthen research and development capabilities inthis field.
