Outgoing students complete the IDI as part of pre-departurepreparations. The results are used by the respective directors to better supervise students in theirintercultural development and problem solve challenges for individual students as they occurduring their time abroad. Returning students complete the IDI as part of their post-study abroaddebriefing and reflection process.

“how reforms in engineering are taken up in identityproductions” [24, p. 278]. The work described in this current paper focuses on this intersectionbetween a change in pedagogy and students’ engineering identities.Recent research proposes both quantitative and qualitative ways to measure engineering identity.For example, Godwin developed a survey to measure engineering identity, with a focus on threeconstructs: recognition as an engineer, interest in engineering, and performance/competence inengineering [25]. Meyers et al. also used a survey to model engineering identity developmentemploying stage theory [26]. They found that male students, students further in their studies, andstudents with future career plans in engineering are more likely

Students also completed a role play activity where they are asked to take on the role of stakeholdersin a project, such as community member, regulator, consultant, and engineer. Students then debated amining problem and discussed what their needs are. This activity takes a much more implicit approach toCSR. It emphasizes the importance of listening to stakeholders and recognizing their needs, however theterm CSR isn’t explicitly used. Similar role play exercises were used by Professors Edwards and Garcia asa way to teach ethics in their technical courses.

It appeared that the number of these programs was increasing, as in some cases theBS/MS program only became available in civil engineering in 2020.Within the MS degrees, most institutions offered both thesis and coursework-only options,followed by thesis, project, and coursework only; degree options are summarized in Table 4.Note that some institutions used the terminology of a report instead of a project. In many casesthere wasn’t a formal degree plan called a report/project option, but within the allowable coursesone course could be an independent project (and so these were counted as providing a projectoption).

Students in the PRL MCoP often engage in physical and virtual practice;experience ‘it worked’ and ‘it didn’t work’ moments; and revise their knowledge, technique,designs, and manufacturing processes accordingly. For example, consider how Brittany managesthe end of her casting project. With her project due in about two weeks, she has successfully casther major part but realizes a concern. Although she has conferred with CAs and has a plan forfixturing and machining her casting, this will be her first time post-machining, and she is unsurehow it will go.

And he was really nice. He gave me, like, his study plan, and tell me like you know, what class I should take and stuff like that. So that was really nice to know that they did before I did.
