the EDVES, the VESAS, Carberry’sEngineering Design Self-Efficacy Scale, and the STEM-CIS were the primary contributors to itemcontent and wording in the EDVES while Eccles’ Expectancy-Value Theory grounded the attitude-focused items [3-6] [9-10]. Note that the three scales exhibited their own validity and reliabilityby their creators, and subsequently allowed us to ensure EDVES items were created withestablished, high-quality practices in mind. Upon assembling and finalizing all items, theinstrument was reviewed by two engineering faculty members and a psychometrician. Additionalrevision of the instrument was conducted upon receiving their feedback and gave rise to the currentform of the EDVES (see Appendix 1) where items measure expectancy

they initially did not want to work with theproduct design students but then changed their mind through the process.The biomedical engineering students were asked, “if given the choice to keep working with theproduct design student from your group next semester, would you do it?” In response, 85% ofthe biomedical engineering students said yes, they would choose to continue working with theproduct design student if given the option next semester. 12% said no, and 3% were unsure. Ofthe individuals who said no, all were members of the two groups with the product designstudents who received the lowest grades in their product design course, suggesting that these twoproduct design students may have been weaker contributors to the collaboration

Summer or intersession study-abroad courses provide abalance between the two approaches and are the focus of this study.It has been stated that engineering study-abroad programs fall generally into eight broadcategories ranging from extended field trips and mentored travel to student exchange and dual-degree programs1. The broad range of international experiences in place suggests to the authorsthat what is “best” has not yet been determined and that there is room for additional explorationof course formats.
