class.Background and Literature ReviewUndergraduate engineering students are often assigned classwork, homework, and projects thatrequire them to work in teams or small groups with other students. In engineering designcourses, team projects are particularly ubiquitous, in part because collaboration is consideredcentral to professional engineering design practice and an essential skill for future designengineers to learn (Lingard & Barkataki, 2011). However, a substantial body of literature onundergraduate student teams in engineering design classes shows that effective collaborativepractices are not automatic for students, and there is a wide range in student competencies atestablishing effective communication processes, psychological safety, and

engineering is continuously developing anddemands a workforce of engineers with the competency to perform across nations [2], [3]. For an engineer to achieveglobal competency, they must be able to work effectively with people who define problems and whose approach towardsfinding a solution to these problems are different than oneself [4]. Researchers have been challenged to define what makes aglobally competent engineer and what attributes an exemplary global engineer would encompass [2], [5]–[8]. In summary,a global engineer must demonstrate competency in technical, global, and professional aspects. Technical competency isachieved by demonstrating knowledge of the engineering science fundamentals, project management skills, and innovation [5].Global
