in global engineering education (GEE). By GEE, we meaneducating engineers with a global mindset to improve their Global Competency. This can bedone in many ways and many conference papers explain how a given university has createdprograms to help engineers be exposed to global technology, culture, communication andcollaboration. Typical programs offer study abroad for engineering students, but some also offermulti-national teaming on projects with common objectives.Conferences and symposia have their place, but sometimes the participants need extended timefor goal-directed discussion. With this purpose in mind, faculty who were known to be involvedin GEE programs gathered for a workshop held at Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona
