AB  - Engineers have the ability and responsibility to design and develop solutions that can improve people's lives, solve pressing problems, and make the world a better place. Real-world challenges are becoming increasingly complex and global, and engineering projects often require collaboration between people from different cultures.

Global engineering is a general engineering course required by all engineering students. The course focuses on designing and developing engineering solutions to real-world problems in a global context. In spring 2024, the course was offered in an innovative way, with a lecture-based part and a hands-on laboratory part. The students designed and developed an innovative water and flooding detection system for a client in the UAE. The students worked during the spring semester in collaboration with engineering students from the UAE on developing the system using the engineering thinking approach. The students communicated with the students from the UAE virtually in bi-weekly meetings.

The author led a 10-day field trip with 24 engineering students to the UAE to build and test the designed product. This paper will present the preparation procedures, the design approach and methodology, and the feedback obtained by the students from this global engineering experience. The paper will also provide suggestions for designing and teaching such a course.

This paper will provide readers with the following: (*A)  detailed overview of the innovative global engineering course offered by the author academic institution. (*A)  description of the design process used by the students to develop a water and flooding detection system for a client in the UAE.  (*) Insights into the benefits and challenges of collaborating with engineering students from another culture. (*) Recommendations for executing a global engineering course successfully. This paper will be of interest to engineering educators, researchers, and industry partners who are interested in learning about innovative ways to teach global engineering and to prepare students for the challenges of engineering in a globalized world.
