Purdue-Tsinghua Undergraduate Research Dual Exchange: A New Programmatic Implementation for Enhancing Global Learning

摘要

Global learning continues to gain prominence in many engineering schools and degree programs. Yet among existing offerings, for-credit study abroad and exchange formats continue to overshadow programs that offer students global research or work sojourns. While such opportunities are particularly promising given their ability to provide students with experiential learning, usually on cross-cultural and interdisciplinary teams, a major challenge associated with implementing and scaling up these global research programs is the motivation of faculty and students from the participating countries and institutions.
