The program quickly grew to involve nearly 20% of students from the School of Engineering, together with students from diverse majors across the university. Three challenges quickly emerged: (1) student interest outpaced opportunities for project involvement and international field experience, (2) students desired academic recognition for their learning experiences, and (3) student learning was limited by the lack of formal training prior to their international experience and the lack of reflection after their international experience. This growing recognition of the opportunity to enhance and expand student learning through formal training led the Edward F.
