The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of international experiential learning programs on the motivation of STEM students to persist in their field of study and to pursue a career in the STEM fields. A secondary aim of this study was the measurement of their level of engagement in their studies. The study used a post-program survey, including follow-up open-ended questions to collect data from students who participated in an international experiential learning program between the Tecnologico de Monterrey, Mexico, and the Tokyo Metropolitan University, Japan. The program consisted of a faculty-led overseas program that included hands-on, experiential learning opportunities on a research topic related to space robotics. Survey data were analyzed using a statistical hypothesis test to identify changes in students' motivation and to explore the experiences and perspectives they gained. The findings of the study include an insight into the impact of international experiential learning programs on student motivation and engagement, and to inform STEM educators about the benefits of such programs and how to enhance the experiences of future participants.
