Following the existing ENG 331 curriculum and emphasizing theinternationalization of students’ current and future workplaces, students complete the typicalassignments for ENG 331: business memo/email, proposal, progress report, instructions, resumeand letter, presentation, and website or project. All these assignments are directly related to theirobservations and interactions in London and the site visits at engineering / technologyworkplaces

This included a comprehensive list of global competencies [11],the creation of a cultural disposition index [12] to evaluate student’s disposition towards workingon cross-cultural projects, and a set of 10 lessons to help engineering students function better onGV teams (please see http://pgvt.groups.et.byu.net). The final phase of the study sought tocompare the educational experience of GV teams with that of traditional study abroad programs.Experiences from each phase enabled greater understanding and refinement of implementing GVteams in traditional courses.

In order to participate, students complete an application and areaccepted into the program based on the following criteria: 1. Must have at least a 2.75 GPA (CBA Students) and 2.50 GPA (Engineering students) 2. Students must have completed two semesters prior to the program departure. 3. There is no foreign language
