menu of activities and the effectiveness data to faculty broadly and monitor the adoption “in the wild”. We have completed year one of this project, in which we surveyed faculty on the ways in which they found the original activities challenging to implement. The original activities rely largely on student experiment, and faculty comments discussed how money, space, and time all constrained their ability to assign experiments to small groups of students. Based on this feedback, we have produced four new variations on the inquiry-‐based activities. These involve: a) replacing the students’ experiments with simulations; b) replacing the

Module 2 (session B): The second module exposes the students to problem solving within the context of warehousing and order fulfillment activities. During this module, students work on a picking rack area where parts are located in the appropriate bins and the operator is directed by pick-to-light technology. The students work in teams of 2-5 members to build several orders for a “shift duration” of approximately 5-minutes. The objective of the worker is to fill orders as quickly as possible in order to maximize the number of orders that are shipped on a given day. Once the activity is
and institutional concerns, respectively.Time and complexity. Too many engineering curricula are notoriously inflexible, packed fullof required coursework with very few electives, and with no minor degree that one couldleverage for international preparation. Thus, for students, the primarily challenge is to find away to integrate an international experience into a busy schedule without substantially delayinggraduation. Specifically, the difficulty lies in (a) locating an institution abroad with suitablecoursework, that (b) does not cost substantially more to attend than one’s home institution, and(c) whose course credits will transfer seamlessly into the student’s home degree program.Resolving these difficulties is certainly possible, but the
