It is projected that moreengineering challenges will affect this broader population, and thus these individuals are neededwithin engineering.1 The demand today for employees who speak foreign languages and areinternationally savvy is also greater than ever.

Throughthe Design Learning Simulator research, we have been exploring issues about what resources toprovide to students and how to make them available.

During this period, we receivedgenerally positive feedback from the students through survey questions, exit interviews, andtestimonials. In this paper, we explore a
