program phase we used avariety of surveys and instruments to collect relevant data, including demographic information,self-assessment of readiness for an experience abroad, and general measures of culturalorientation (using the MGUDS-S survey12), and global engineering competency. Other surveysallowed the participants and their research hosts to evaluate all major program components.Finally, a series of exercises and assignments provided participants with reflective learningopportunities, while also giving the program team rich insights about student experiences.In the remainder of the paper we present preliminary results of our program evaluation, includingevidence of the quality and success of the program generally and a number of major
