AB  - Impact of Study Abroad – 10 Years of Trips to Germany with Students  ABSTRACT  During the past 10 years 140 Purdue students have traveled to Germany to tour industrial, cultural and historic and educational sites in groups of 12 to 15 led by a professor in Mechanical Engineering Technology.  Many of the study abroad participants graduated and joined companies that were looking for applicants with international experience; individuals who can work effectively with their counterparts all over the world.  This paper presents the findings of a survey of participants in short‐term (week long) study abroad trips to Germany beginning in 2004. The survey captured demographic data on these participants and presented questions to capture insight into the value of this experience and the impact of the study abroad experience on their careers.   The Germany Trip Alumni Facebook Group and a list of email addresses provided survey access to 105 participants.  The impact survey was distributed electronically to participants with active email or Facebook addresses.  74 responses were received (52% of all participants, 70% of those contacted).  73 participants (98%) agree or strongly agree that they value their investment in the study abroad opportunity.  72 participants agree or strongly agree that they want to return to Germany.  The responses include extensive comments on the key concepts learned and how they benefited from the study abroad experience.  Short‐term study abroad trips are valuable learning experiences that provide positive impact to the participants beyond graduation.
