AB  - “ Advancing Student Perspectives Through Bi-institutional Hemispheric Collaboration in Humanitarian Engineering”

In 2017 Metropolitan State University of Denver (MSU Denver) in Denver, Colorado and the Universidad del Valle de Atemajac University (UNIVA) in Guadalajara, Mexico partnered to implement a short term, bi-lateral student exchange program focused on studies in Humanitarian Engineering. This initiative was funded by the 100K Strong for Americas Grant aimed to promote “Building institutional capacity, increasing student mobility within the Americas, and enhancing regional education cooperation”.

Humanitarian Engineering (HE) is a method of problem solving directed at cultivating the wellbeing of underserved people. It offers a platform to engage students in Service-Learning Activities.

This commencing international experience launched the establishment of a longer-term collaboration agreement between the two higher education institutions (HEIs) which evolved to include activities in COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning), and HE projects and courses. 

This paper shares a course that was presented in two modalities though this cooperation with special attention paid to the outcomes as measured by a mixed methods survey and project evaluations. The learning outcomes are compared for a face-to face course and a COIL version of the same topic that engaged students in Humanitarian Engineering activities and are measured in three areas of: intercultural competencies, acquired Humanitarian Engineering and professional skills, and gained social consciousness. The outcomes from both courses are reported in this paper and show quantitatively that these two Humanitarian Engineering educational experiences provided a good forum to promote growth of skills in the aforementioned areas. The two modalities both showed growth, however, larger gains were witnessed in most of the categories for students who took part in the face-to-face course especially regarding students' perception in the areas of Intercultural competencies and gained social consciousness
