we will propose appropriate supports, such as workshops andgroup activities, to help international students in engineering adjust to the gender-related culturein the U.S.IntroductionInternational graduate students in engineering are a significant presence in the U.S., with manyof them hailing from countries with distinct cultures from that of the U.S. The Institute ofInternational Education reported that 385,097 international graduate students were enrolled inU.S. higher education during the 2021-2022 academic year [1]. In addition, 54% of internationalstudents pursued degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields,with a majority of them enrolled in engineering and computer science programs [1].

Humanitarian engineering programs and projectsbuild on the basics of service-learning concepts but expand and deepen them to address basichuman needs in the most marginalized populations. Both service-learning programs and HEP haveshown marked positive impacts on student professional formation including: professional skillslike teamwork and leadership [16], attitudes and identity as an engineer [17], and better recognitionof global and societal contexts [18].

Students in the control condition still did.

However, college students in engineering fields often experience decreases inmotivation due to loss of interest and reduced competence beliefs [1, 2], which leads to thereduced retention in an engineering major and career [3].Motivation is an important component in predicting a variety of academic outcomes such asperformance

bythe National Science Board estimated a 47% growth in science and engineeringemployment from 2000 to 20102. Concerns related to this growth in engineeringemployment include the attraction, retention, and quality of students in engineeringdisciplines. Research has shown that achievement in engineering courses is correlatedwith spatial ability3-6 and that spatial ability skills can be improved through training3, 4.However, whether a correlation between retention and spatial ability exists has beendisputed in the literature.Sorby and Baartmans7 developed a course at Michigan Technological University entitled“Introduction to Spatial Visualization” to improve the spatial ability of freshman studentswho were identified as at-risk due to poorly
