requiredeveloping a comprehensive, uniform approach to STEM internationalization at the institutionallevel. In this paper, we discuss our development of the Global Science and Engineering Program(GSEP), a broad internationalization initiative uniformly spanning all engineering, math, andnatural science programs offered at Northern Arizona University. To help pave the way forothers, we pay particular attention to critical GSEP design features and rationale.1.0 IntroductionGlobalization has been the predominant economic theme for the past decade, leading to broadglobal distribution of research, design, and production teams and facilities spanning the fullspectrum of science and engineering disciplines [1]. Modern STEM graduates will be expectedto communicate

willingness of engineering employers to fund professionaldevelopment in recent years and the uncertainty that it presents, and the foreseeableslowdown once infrastructure stimulus are exhausted. This scenario means that costs of PDand staff mobility can be a barrier to engineering graduates pursuing support for obtainingChartered-status as individuals. More and more so, graduates are looking to officialqualifications and structured life-long learning journey. Professional master programs thataddress the personal, professional, and educational development needs should fulfil thisdemand driven by the individual engineers rather than corporation they work for1.There are three agreements that aim to address the competency requirements of
