Navigating Boundary Crossing in a Global Engineering Course: A Case Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Industry and accreditation requirements for engineering graduates with global leadership competencies, such as global perspectives and multidisciplinary teamwork, have necessitated the need to support students to engage in complex collaborations that cross multiple boundaries (International Engineering Alliance, 2021).This paper reports on a case study of two design project teams from a globally situated engineering design course.It investigates how the boundaries that students encountered in globally situated design projects helped them to navigate conflict and make progress in problem-solving.Following a thematic analysis of students' data, two themes emerged around their knowledge boundary-crossing experiences and associated cultural dimensions namely: 1) unfamiliarity with design for global conditions, and 2) unfamiliarity with cultural and environmental impact.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
