In an effort to bolster inter-cultural understanding, a week-long project-based learning experience involving the 33 UCalgary students and an equal number of STUstudents was planned. This collaboration was enhanced by the participation of both universitiesin CDIO (Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate), an international engineering education reforminitiative. The project-based learning collaboration proved to be a success in interculturalexchange3, inspiring the program architects to pursue a formal, for-credit collaboration.In February 2010, one of the authors of this paper became the Chair in Engineering EducationInnovation at UCalgary.
