. toestablish the Engineering Success Alliance (ESA). The ESA focuses on first-year engineeringstudents from various inner-city recruiting programs and students from under-represented groupsin engineering whose admissions materials suggest they might need extra support during the firsttwo critical years in an engineering curriculum. Students are invited to participate in the ESAprior to their arrival on campus. Those who accept the invitation are then offered a variety ofsupport activities targeted primarily at building mathematics skills, study skills, and academiccapital. It is expected that these activities will assist in the retention of these students inengineering during the critical first two years of intense preparation for their engineering

approaches are needed to benchmark industry practice that can efficiently and accuratelyobtain the required data with constrained resources.Internships are one possible approach to establish the synergy essential for successful industrybenchmarking over time. Student internship programs in the construction industry, either formalor informal, are beneficial relationships that foster student growth, enhance academic programrelationships with industry partners, and challenge faculty to include current information in theircurriculums5. Internship programs are an integral part of many engineering and construction pro-grams throughout the U.S.6, and partnerships between industry and universities are increasing inimportance for a variety of reasons7.

Some argue thatretention is so important it should be used as a college outcomes assessment parameter and that itbe considered a measure of our abilities as faculty and professional engineers to design programsof study that meet market and customer expectations [5].

This paper investigates the learning outcome with both thestudents and the company representatives based on project collaboration during a period ofnine months. The capstone course encompasses 18 ECTS credits, the equivalent of 12 weeksfull time studies spread over a period from the end of March to end of December, withsummer break from mid-May to beginning of September. The capstone course represents thesemi-final step before the students’ Master of Science degrees, followed by a master thesisproject which, at KTH, is preferably done at a company, in the form of an internship resultingin a scientific thesis report.During the 2011 projects, all five student teams voluntary

This paper will discuss the program design, implementation,evaluation results and implications for engineering education and study abroad programs.IntroductionGlobalization has integrated the world in unprecedented ways, engineering – civil andconstruction engineering in particular – has been at the forefront of these changing dynamics.Pennoni1 has shown how globalization influences all aspects of an engineer’s ability to competein the U.S. market, noting that many U.S. engineering firms now maintain offices in foreign and Page 25.1174.3particularly developing countries to increase their growth.
