professionalpractice that are increasingly global in nature.” Consequently, a necessary first step in thisprocess requires engineering educators and professionals to clearly understand what constitutes aglobally prepared engineer and what are the most effective learning experiences to produce suchengineers. This paper offers an overview of the progress to date of a NSF funded multi-university (Universities A, B, C and D) research initiative that investigates how the variousinternationally focused learning experiences within engineering (both curricular and co-curricular) impact students’ global preparedness.The research protocol involves three phases, broken into separate but interconnected studies.Study One has focused on developing an operational model of

The students were asked to collect the samples from the ponds on the campus.But they were not provided any other information on the water quality or turbidity. This wasdetermined as part of the laboratory experiment. The student experiences and opinions from theevaluation survey are presented below.

Regarding the teams’ early indicators for potential impact: a. Do teams see the value in Pathways activities for achieving their own goals? b. Do teams value being part of a collaborative group, going through this together? What are the perceived advantages of the group, if any? c. Do teams have clarity around why they are participating, what the opportunity is for them, and what they hope to accomplish? d.

While currently the BIMcourse covers all topics related to the information laden aspect of the model, this will need to bedriven home in a more forceful manner to the students through smaller projects where studentsare expected to build a model which will contain information that can be used not just during thedesign and drawing generation phase of the project but can move into the construction phase andbeyond, making complex architectural projects easier to manage through the entire cycle ofdesign, construction and facilities management.References[1] B.

This project was an extension to the previous projects for the Kuna Nega community. The Kuna Nega community is supplied water by a pressure main running from Panama City. Every week, this pressure main is shut off for up to 36 hours, and the community is supplied water solely by an existing 10,000 gallon storage
