But, what do students who haveactually had such experiences perceive? How do they view such experiences, before,during and after the event? The following paper evolved from the experiences of fouruniversities collaborating on an EU-FIPSE funded Atlantis project called DETECT thatconsist of the partnerships shown in Figure 1.

The core of this program is a junior-year spring/summer semester study-abroad in Germany, India, or China. The courses abroad are in English and transfer back to Purdue so there is no delay in graduation. Concurrently, the students also participate in a two-semester industry- inspired project with students from the other countries and in a two-part industry internship; in both cases, one half of the project and internship is at home, and the other is abroad.The Technische

Theswitching device output is displayed on a CRT to provide spectral of the input signal. The blockdiagram of such scheme is provided in Figure-1.

These challenges led to the decision to implement a new socio-pedagogical project called GOIS (from Damião de Góis, a prominent Portuguese andEuropean renaissance man). It introduced important innovations and new strategiesinvolving computer-student interaction during teaching-learning processes. Problem-solvingskills are fundamental tools for the future engineer; so, the goal is to improve those tools andcoach the student in a rational way. A

Such short-term experiences increased partially owing to the intense global competition and theimportance for engineering students to develop global competence [6] [7]. For instance,Bender (2009) interviewed 32 engineering students who participated in internationalresearch projects and found that these students have developed writing skills, problem-solving skills, independent skills and self-confidence [8].

The findings suggested four characteristics of faculty and researchers that cansignificantly influence the internationalization of higher education - international academicexperience, participation in international collaboration projects or networks, international co-authorship, and experience in international publications [8]. Besides these personal factors, thereare also some external barriers that prevent faculty from engaging in internationalization work,for instance, not taking into account faculty international services or contribution for the tenureor promotion, lack of financial incentives, and many competing demands on faculty’s time andworkload [9

this “brave new world” and it is in fact crucialfor the development of science and technology and more important it is responsible for thedelivery of such technologies on the service of the betterment of humanity. This aspect may leadto the notion that engineers should be aware of the responsibility to society as they contribute toits development. It is to be aware of the impacts not only environmental but also social of theoutcomes of projects. Looking closer to the formation of engineers, there is still a prevalence ofgood technical formation without thinking of a broader knowledge achievement. This broaderachievement is not a recent idea; the French School of Engineering implemented under Napoleongovernance formed the “Mr. Engineer” that
