Global Preparation: Observing the Preparedness of WPI Study Abroad Students
公开可下载的内容
open in viewerStudying abroad is an integral and expanding part of higher education in the US. As more students participate, it becomes increasingly important to examine the adequacy of student preparedness. This project involves an assessment of student preparation for the Interactive Qualifying Project (IQP) experience with the Cape Town Project Center. In order to assess every stage of preparation, I surveyed students initiating the process, held a group discussion with students engaging in formal institutional preparations, and conducted two focus group discussions with students who had completed their study away experience. While WPI offers varied preparation opportunities, students remain unaware of many of these and few engage in self-driven efforts, resulting in limited preparation.
