The Americangroup is a fifty three member senior capstone project class of traditional and non-traditionalmultidisciplinary students. The Russian group was composed of faculty and graduate studentsparticipating in a workshop held during a conference

This model has focuses onthree fundamental dimensions of leadership: the leader as an individual (personalcharacteristics), in an organization (organizational skills), and in a global setting (global andcultural perspective).16 These focus areas and their associated student learning outcomes forleadership development have greatly influenced the BYU Construction Management Program’sinternational travel opportunities. To graduate from the BYU Construction ManagementProgram, students must complete a capstone course, one option of which consists aninternational experience. This course is designed to provide “the culmination and application ofcore construction management principles. Project teams design, analyze, manage, and constructan

relative mixture of lecture/lab is approximately the same in both programs and the distinction between contact and credit is not a factor for this high level comparison. 2) A masters program in a typical American system is approximately 30 hours with a significant portion of the program covered by a thesis if required. The Russian system also requires a thesis with almost twice the number of course hours (66 vs. 30). 3) In both the older specialist degree and the new bachelor degree, the Russian system requires a project in industry (the equivalent of a short COOP in the American system), plus the equivalent of a significant senior capstone project. The result is an emphasis on practical

develop student global competence as partof their International Plan. The program requires students to engage in at least 26 weeks ofinternational experience that is related to their discipline. In addition, students take internationalcoursework including international relations, global economy, and one course that providesfamiliarity with an area of the world or a country that allows them to make systematiccomparisons with their own society and culture. Students are also required to develop secondlanguage proficiency equivalent to at least the second year of study demonstrated through aproficiency exam. In addition, each student’s capstone design experience must meet certaininternational requirements and it is preferable that the project include

And there was no opportunity for experiencing teamwork orproject management in the curriculum.The faculty wanted to change all this, and when the Bologna process arrived in 1999, themigration to from a 2+3 to a 3+2 program made it all come together. Here are some of the manychanges that were made: • The BS and MS degree programs were each assigned a significant team design project midway through the program and an individual thesis as a capstone at the end. • Student advising was shifted from doctoral candidates, whose main responsibility is research, to an office of advising professionals. These
