Bringing in the World: Internationalizing the Curriculum of a First-Year Introduction to Engineering Course at a Large Public American University

Engineers must work within multinational and multicultural environments, but incorporating international experiences into a packed undergraduate curriculum in a meaningful and scalable manner is difficult. This paper addresses the need to better understand how course instructors can effectively internationalize their learning materials in a domestic engineering classroom. The course used as a qualitative case study in this paper is an Introduction to Engineering course at a large public university in the United States. We highlight a Scholarship of Teaching and Learning case study of one course's efforts to provide international experiences in a domestic classroom.
