essential engineering (hard) and professional (soft) skills, engineering criteriamust include global skills that will help engineering professional to work globally (Arun S. Patil,2005). Global citizenship is described as “awareness, caring, and embracing cultural diversity,while promoting social justice and sustain-ability, coupled with a sense of responsibility to act”.(Robinson & Levac, 2018)4. Research Questions (RQ)The questions that arise from this are: "What motivated participants to willingly travel to Africa?"and "Did they gain satisfactory learning experiences that justified their decision? If so, what wasthe nature of these experiences?" Furthermore, after the conclusion of the PBL program, multiplestudents reported that their

concerns, and emotional intelligence, including empathy.Ensuring students acquire essential skills in sustainable global education upon graduation is acomplex challenge, demanding a comprehensive strategy that combines intentional curriculumdesign, extracurricular engagement, and strategic partnerships. This approach involves embeddingcritical skills like critical thinking and communication throughout the curriculum, employingProject-Based Learning (PBL) to bridge theory and practice, and integrating various experientialopportunities.Extracurricular initiatives, including internships and global experience programs, leadership andteam-building activities, and service learning programs, play a crucial role in enhancing bothtechnical and soft skills
