We consider the role-play format particularly important because of its potential use as adiagnostic as students prepare for and return from their cross-cultural experiences. Since role-plays have not been used to assess international student experiences, this format may revealimportant needs for further research in this area. Finally, we hope to contribute to studies inglobal competency by describing how we are creating and implementing the instrument at eachpoint of its development.To help develop the scenarios, and ensure they are as comprehensive and authentic as possible,we utilized the expertise of a broad sample of faculty and undergraduate students at MIT withvaried international

In one instance (Murdoch University in Perth, Western Australia), the host arranged to meet with board members off-campus. This also drew participants from other local universities.• Infrastructure: This was the most likely gap of any university department. Such components include a development incentive, e.g., release time or money, development support, such as staff, tools, and processes, and course resources.

This paper seeks to share our lessons learned andspecific strategies for successful program development and implementation. These lessonslearned range from issues of program culture to crafting student experiences in the classroom.Introduction: the case for a new engineering disciplineThere is a growing demand for engineers and a need to embed professional, leadership andentrepreneurial skills into an engineering education.

MIT's product design and development course was used as model for our integratedproduct teams.

Beyond helpful tools such as CAD and other computer software,the course offers students a chance to explore other topics relevant to engineering. This includes,disciplinary boundaries of engineering, engineering ethics, and the design process. While thesetopics can be given a cursory lecture, there exists opportunities to expand on these themes andtopics. Given practices of inclusive classrooms, a faculty member can create engaging ways tohave students explore these topics and encourage the development of good research skills andcritical thinking.
