Description
Classes with a short-term travel abroad component are becoming more popular as an alternative to semester long study abroad. Faculty led classes provide an unique opportunity to connect the knowledge/skills practiced in the classroom with their application on global scale, especially when the interactions involve cooperation with institutions in another country. This allows students to see solutions to their questions from the perspective of other cultures and compare them with their own understanding. This poster will explore practical methods of incorporating the travel abroad into class curriculum, and discuss logistics of travel with student groups.
