The Impact of Global Experience on the Engineering Career Path

Thursday, May 29, 2025
11:30 AM – 11:55 AM PST
Global engineering programs are assumed to enhance employability; however, little is known about how these programs impact career decisions and progression. This presentation explains preliminary findings from a project funded by the National Science Foundation that explores the longer-term impacts of global experiences on engineering career paths.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn about research findings on the long-term impacts of global experiences and utilize findings to better articulate the value of global experiences to stakeholders.
  • Develop and validate an alumni survey tool.
