engineering is an up-to-date issue and is a topic of internationaldiscussions. US, European and Asian researches suggested many innovative ideas that allowfor better international engineering interaction and students’ readiness for the open world [1],[3], [6], [8], [9]. For example corporate education presented by Herman Schneider more thana hundred years ago was successfully implemented as the option for students to gain secondlanguage proficiency and international job experience [3].
