which students gained international experiencenecessary for today’s software developers. In comparing perspectives from students who hadcompleted this software course in the traditional, instructor-lecture style versus the PBLapproach, the students in the latter cohort evaluated PBL to be more effective for deepknowledge and international-project experience (Olivares-Ceja et al., 2017).3. Methods3.1 Course StructureThe project-based-learning (PBL) course was designed to include minimal technical lecture bythe instructors. However, a core component of the course was a series of guest speakers whospoke about some of the “soft skills” relevant to international teamwork. Five teams ofapproximately four students each were formed using the CATME team
