integrating industrial platforms for educationalpurposes is widely spread among engineering institutions – colleges and universities. Forinstance, students of engineering programs are required to undergo an internship at industrialenterprises of the region and perform a capstone project to demonstrate the new competenciesthey have obtained within the internship period. While regional academic-industrialcooperation through cluster partnership demonstrates positive results for training highlyqualified specialists at present, it should involve international experience in order to remainup-to-date in the forthcoming years.However, the idea of expanding clustering to an international level brings up the series ofpotential issues that arise from the

Although these experiences were veryrewarding, the service projects the students participated in did not directly make use of theirengineering skills. Furthermore, while participating in these service projects, the studentsidentified many needs that could be addressed through engineering solutions.
