Languagecommunicative competence is the key factor for successful social and professionalcommunication in a cross-cultural environment. However, in practice linguistic knowledgeitself is a necessary but insufficient determinant of cross-cultural interaction. Psychologicalattitude, or readiness to communicate with people speaking another language, is alsoimportant. International academic mobility means more than just the possibility to study abroad.The mutual recognition of diplomas and qualification does not guarantee graduates’competitive ability in the professional sphere.

This has also changed the status of higher education: the youth do not seeit as the only way to success in life. These changes have had a distinct effect on the know-how level and they have increased the heterogeneity of the students entering EE. Therefore,the new requirements can only be achieved by embracing the individual motivation on thehighest levels of the human behavior (creativity).The situation during this decade places new demands on the EE organizations for deeperlearning, more efficient and innovative teaching, more responsibility for student employmentand career success, and responsibility to society

teleconferencing technologies and providing a means to sustain the collaboration during the academic yearOne of the factors that limit the success of some study abroad programs is the number of facultywho are interested in participating. Faculty may consider these programs to be a lot of work andtime spent may not align with other career aspirations. To remedy this, we solicited input andbuy-in from a range of individuals to ensure the program’s future, as well as to build “bench-depth.”While the explicit target audience was engineering majors, the program was also open to non-engineering majors with suitable STEM backgrounds. A major emphasis of the program was toattract currently under-represented students – female, first generation, and minority
