However, there are stereotypical business cultures that operatein various countries to varying extents.The CourseA course with real world project assignments was developed at the Pennsylvania State University, inwhich US undergraduate engineering students currently work together with undergraduate businessstudents at Corvinus University, Hungary and undergraduate engineering students at Taibah University,Saudi Arabia.

shooting and critical thinking skills that arebeneficial to engineers in the workforce and research environments.Course Techniques and ImprovementsThe new lab curriculum focuses on electrical, mechanical, hydrodynamic, and hydrostaticmeasurements. The lab experiments incorporate diagnostic methods to obtain voltage outputs,stress/strain, and pressure measurements. To address the issues that arose from the increase ofenrollment and shortage of lab equipment, several improvements have been implemented to theSpring 2014 lab course. These improvements include variations in the structure of the course.The first implementation is to create the small group atmosphere. The lab sections were thenseparated into two smaller sections (approximately 12
