factors contributing to mental health issues among college students, thereis a notable gap in the literature regarding international undergraduates in engineering.International students, with their different beliefs, values, and expectations related to mentalhealth, may have different coping strategies, help-seeking preferences, and service utilizationpatterns. Among various factors, religiosity may influence their approach to coping, seekingassistance, and utilizing services. With this in mind, this study investigates the impact ofreligiosity on the mental health, help-seeking behavior, and service utilization of internationalundergraduate engineering students in the United States.Purpose/Hypothesis: This study explores the relationship between

timewhen greater resources need to be available for engineering education, most state fundedengineering schools operate in an increasingly constrained environment.Industrial Engineering embarked on a long term transformative curriculum seven yearsago with three fundamental goals in mind. Specifically, within system and logisticalconstraints, the curricular components should address a number of alternative learningstyles. Secondly, the curriculum should engage the students at a deeper level in termsopen ended questions and creative problem solving. And, third, to the extent possible,the curriculum should provide opportunities for students to incorporate the value addedskills within the confines of the existing curriculum.To accomplish these goals

conclusions based onthe data that emerged from the study.Rationale and Literature Review:A study conducted by three researchers with the Center for International Business Education andResearch found that almost 40% of U.S. companies surveyed missed international businessopportunities because of a lack of internationally competent personnel. Given that 95% ofconsumers live outside of the United States, it is important for students to gain internationalexperience (Daniel, Xie, & Kedia, 2014). With those numbers in mind, the National Academy ofEngineering states that a core need for engineers is to be able to work with a diverse,multinational, and multidisciplinary workforce. Therefore, engineering colleges must developstrategies that provide global
