a professor in the School of Engineering Technology in the College of Technology of Purdue University. His focus and passion is real world, industry based, senior capstone experiences both domes- tically and internationally. He has successfully developed this area at Purdue and at Western Carolina University. Prior to his career in academia, Dr. Sanger had a successful 30 year career working in and with industry managing and participating in broad range technology development and commercialization. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Real-World Engineering Projects for International Student Teams to Become ”Global Engineers”AbstractEngineers in Europe and

in a loss of business and, in some cases, even bankruptcy of a company.Communication is a mix of verbal and non-verbal interactions and etiquette. Therefore, theengineering students need to practice and to enhance their skills in communication, while workingwith projects in teams with students from other countries and cultures. In this paper, the authorsdescribe their international projects where students from Denmark and the USA work together.For the USA students, it is a part of their senior design capstone course and for the Danish studentsit is an innovation and an interdisciplinary project, so called the Innovation Pilot [1].The key learning objectives for training communication skills in order to work in global teams andmanage projects

government has proposed the “NewEngineering” series of educational reform projects to improve the quality of professionalpersonnel training, including the Excellent Engineer Training Program, Engineering EducationAccreditation, Industry-University Cooperative Education Project, etc. [14, 15]. As part of theseeducational reforms, most Chinese universities have focused on expanding joint educationalactivities with industry from curriculum construction to subject competitions to internshiptraining, as well as joint capstone design projects, etc. Fan and Shao provide an overview ofplans, programs, and challenges for university-industry collaborations in China [16].Although most Chinese colleges and universities have realized the importance of university

These engineering schools providemulti-faceted and multi-channeled funds for undergraduate engineering students totake international project internships, short-term international exchange programs, andfinish their capstone design projects overseas. Moreover, a number of engineeringschools in China adopt a “3+2” or “3+1+1” [12] dual-degree/joint degree collaborativeeducation to cultivate engineering talents by cooperating with overseas universities,providing opportunities for engineering students to study at home and then abroadduring their

and laterbecome motivated by the good in the world that can result from application of engineering.One of the alumni, Karl, traveled to Nicaragua as part of a senior research project, which hadgrown out of an international service-project in his senior capstone design course inenvironmental engineering. He noted: …poverty, it's one thing to know about it, it's one thing to study about it, … but it's a whole other thing when you are immersed in it and then... if you take it a step further and think how can I help these people, other than just be in poverty and experiencing that...just for me it was an eye-opener… And so I just realized, ...I wanna go this path.... There's a lot more need for a guy doing water and sanitation work than
