The work conducted together expanded the existing collaboration andallowed both parties to lay the foundation for a successful, annual STEM-focused study abroad program, as well as launch newcollaborative research projects into which future students can be integrated. The general concept so developed is portable andcan be executed in other locations where faculty already conduct existing study abroad programs. We successfully launched anew project-based study abroad program specifically designed to appeal to engineering students while alleviating some of theidentified impediments to participation in

The ongoing collaborative project described in this paper attempts todevelop the cross-cultural sensitivity of Indian and USA students through their reflections oncase studies that present ethical dilemmas in real-world situations. Central questions addressed inthis paper include: 1) How does a pedagogical model based on socio-cultural theory andincorporating cross-cultural activities support undergraduate engineering students in socio-cultural and ethical thinking? and 2) How do engineering students develop their professionalidentities through socio-cultural and ethical discourse? Based on socio-cultural learning theory,the present collaborative effort engages hundreds of students in professional

The findings suggested four characteristics of faculty and researchers that cansignificantly influence the internationalization of higher education - international academicexperience, participation in international collaboration projects or networks, international co-authorship, and experience in international publications [8]. Besides these personal factors, thereare also some external barriers that prevent faculty from engaging in internationalization work,for instance, not taking into account faculty international services or contribution for the tenureor promotion, lack of financial incentives, and many competing demands on faculty’s time andworkload [9
