engineering student, the first point the AIrecommended for consideration was “curriculum compatibility,” saying that “Engineeringcourses often have a strict sequence of prerequisites. Ensuring that the courses you take abroadwill be recognized by your home institution is crucial. This might require detailed planning anddiscussions with academic advisors” (OpenAI, 2024). In summary, both academic reports andbroader conversations suggest that curricular complexity can be a challenge for students studyingabroad in engineering. However, no studies have attempted to measure this relationship, whichwe wanted to explore in our own context at Purdue University.Characterizing the Complexity of the Curriculum With the aim of providing metrics to support

Students wrote a final reflection as a part of the studyabroad. The reflections were analyzed using a mixed-method approach. A rubrics was created toscore each reflection quantitatively across five key dimensions: Identification and Awareness ofICC, Self-Examination and Reflection, Critical Assessment and Reframing of Assumptions,Exploration and Adoption of New Roles, and Development of a Plan for Action and SkillAcquisition. Further qualitative coding was performed to identify patterns and student quotespertaining to each rubric criteria. The findings reveal that students demonstrated strongawareness of ICC

This includes language or communication styles, government, and cultural values, inaddition to new approaches to solutions and ways of viewing the world.

The program organizers also performed a direct assessment of the student projects.From these data, we found that student learning progressed throughout the workshop. We plan tocontinue hosting these workshops and believe they positively impact student development andchange perspectives in engineering design, allowing them to understand culture’s influence onengineering design better.MethodsApproval: This study was carried out with Institutional Review
