. Dating back to the 1960s, researchershave explored the theoretical characterization of intercultural competence and the effectivenessof varying classroom practices [24]. More recently, various researchers have explored theefficacy of CEL and research immersion experiences. Research shows that teachers learn tonavigate complex, intercultural encounters through challenging CEL experiences promoting,“reflective, critical and ethical practices” [25].Since international engineering CEL has the potential benefit to both increase interculturalawareness, while also demonstrating engineering as a career that helps humanity, engagingteachers in this type of experience may prepare them to encourage and inspire their students,particularly females and other

To practice this, a relevant, real-world example related to the sustainability of engineered flood-control systems in the New Orleans region is investigated by students. Student projects examine the importance of sustainability throughout the design process as they progress from initial concept to sustainable flood management systems. Introduction The Code of Ethics for the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) states that engineers have an ethical obligation to hold paramount the health, safety and welfare of the public in the performance of their professional duties (Eide, et al., 2002). The Code also addresses sustainability: “Engineers shall strive to adhere to the principles of sustainable
