德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校（UT Austin）的本科学位要求在六个领域中的每一个领域都有“标志”：（1）美国的文化多样性;（2）伦理学;（3）全球文化;（4）独立调查;（5）定量推理;和（6）写作。携带全球文化旗帜的课程引导学生探索至少一个非美国文化团体的实践，信仰和历史，并鼓励对自己的文化经历进行反思。许多工程专业的学生都很高兴通过教师主导的海外学习来了解他们学科背景下的全球文化。8目前，有11个工程课程带有全球文化旗帜，其中10个是教师领导的海外学习。不幸的是，COVID-19大流行阻止了我们近400名工程专业学生参加教师主导的海外学习。我们面临的挑战是迅速过渡到一个教师主导的研究，国外携带全球文化的旗帜，以在线格式。
Undergraduate degrees at The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) require ‘‘Flags’’in each of six areas:(1) Cultural Diversity in the United States;(2) Ethics;(3) Global Cultures;(4) Independent Inquiry;(5) Quantitative Reasoning; and (6) Writing. Courses that carry the Global Cultures Flag guide students in exploring the practices, beliefs, and histories of at least one non-US cultural group, and encourage reflection on one’s own cultural experiences. Many engineering students are excited to learn about global cultures in the context of their discipline through faculty-led study-abroad. 8 Currently, there are 11 engineering courses carrying a Global Cultures Flag, 10 of which are faculty-led study-abroad. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic has prevented almost 400 of our engineering students from participating in faculty-led study-abroad. Our challenge was to quickly transition a faculty-led study-abroad carrying a Global Cultures Flag to an online format.
