More than 90% of engineering graduatescurrently enter a global profession with little or no international experience.Nationally, progress is being made and one result is an emergence of various study abroadmodels such as industrial internships, international co-ops, service-oriented models, andtraditional exchange programs.

engineering solutions ina global and societal context.” This one outcome has the potential to impact student educationmore than any other. The importance of this topic is reinforced every day as engineering jobs arefacing global competition. Industrial Advisory Boards are also suggesting that thisinternationalization of engineering education be emphasized more in the classroom. Youngengineers need to develop strategies that can address the challenges presented by globalization.The globally-oriented engineer must understand others in terms of life perspectives, must learnhow to interpret international events and circumstances, must explore how one interacts with theworld and its environment, and must learn how to apply engineering methodologies to
intercultural opportunities. This will enable studentsand faculty to develop an entrepreneurial and international adventurous spirit to better succeed inthe new frontier of a globalized environment1.History and Evolution of Capstone CoursesIn the early 1990’s there was mounting pressure from industrial and educational leaders to makesignificant changes to the engineering curriculum to better prepare engineers for leadership whileproviding real-world experience1. This was a result of industry feeling that engineeringgraduates were inadequately prepared for the practice of engineering. Response from thesepioneers developed what has become known as capstone courses or programs. These programsbrought open ended design problems and often industrially

Since theyare the repositories of culture, knowing them enables us to gain perspective” (Allan, 2009, pg.368).5 Therefore, interaction among students with differing native tongues provides invaluableopportunities to improve their language skills and cultural awareness simultaneously.

Many institutions haveattempted to give students this global perspective through a number of programs. But aninternational team of scholars from eight universities in six countries on four continents says in areport 4 on a study on globalization and the educational reform needed, Incorporating such preparation into engineering curricula, however, has proven to be a major challenge because of the highly sequenced and content-demanding nature of the curriculum. Consequently, international preparation is often addressed by “add-ons” such as
