The level of interest and perceived value by engineering students in a multinational project experience is reported in this paper. The report establishes a comparison based on geographical location and class standing of the participants. The multinational project was conducted at seven institutions in six countries (USA, Honduras, Ecuador, Brazil, Chile, and Italy). A survey was used to collect demographic data and students’ feedback on questions selected from the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI) that permits to evaluate five constructs, interest and perceived value being the ones considered in this report. The analysis of the results shows that students have a high level of interest and value the experience, with numerical differences based on geographic location and class standing, and only significant difference based on class standing.

Abstract
The level of interest and perceived value by engineering students in a multinational project experience is reported in this paper. The report establishes a comparison based on geographical location and class standing of the participants. The multinational project was conducted at seven institutions in six countries (USA, Honduras, Ecuador, Brazil, Chile, and Italy). A survey was used to collect demographic data and students’ feedback on questions selected from the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI) that permits to evaluate five constructs, interest and perceived value being the ones considered in this report. The analysis of the results shows that students have a high level of interest and value the experience, with numerical differences based on geographic location and class standing, and only significant difference based on class standing.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
