competencies. Higher Education Institutions have been working on increasinginternationalization during the last years knowing that it improves our students’ ability to facefuture challenges.This internationalization has different phases. Deardorff et al. (2018) propose 6 phases. Phase 1:Study abroad programs with a transformative effect. Phase 2: International student recruitment:the bigger number of international students in the institution, the richer and more diverseatmosphere is. Phase 3: Coordination and Collaboration creating a centralized office. Phase 4:Building Community launching activities to strengthen links like an international day ororganizing receptions at the beginning and end of the academic year. Phase 5: Curriculumdevelopment

These competencies are (1) adapting socially, (2) demonstrating creativity, (3) evendisposition, (4) respecting beliefs, (5) instilling trust, and (6) navigating ambiguity. Internationalleadership managing international assignments seldom fail because of a lack of technical orprofessional competence but rather fail to build cultural awareness necessary for understandingdifferent cultures. Caligiuri and Tarique [15] identified lack of understanding of other cultures asa factor affecting the ability of leaders to lead across cultures and transfer foreign leadershipknowledge easily.

, so effective instruction usesmultiple approaches. Lang connects internal and external learning opportunities [11], concluding“comprehension lies outside of the classroom,” meaning that students need time to process andimplement the traditional lecture material.Caudron [12] suggests that educators consider the following five areas when teaching students—with many of these strategies exemplified in the recent improvement of this class: (1) Make learning experiential by engaging students in cooperative learning experiences. (2) Give students control over their learning. (3) Highlight key points, as new learners are ‘surfers’ and ‘scanners’ rather than readers and viewers. (4) Motivate learning by engaging

In addition, the countries (e.g. China,Singapore, and Malaysia) that have large study-abroad student populations are nowtaking an increasingly large market share of global higher education and are attractinga mass of international students [1]. As shown in the Global Mobility Trends, a reportreleased by the Institute of International Education, Mainland China has taken up a 10%market share in 2016, as the third-largest destination for international students [2]. Topfive countries that have sent international students to study in China in 2016 includeSouth Korea, the US, Thailand, Pakistan, and India [3]. In 2016

When the profile based on this model, eachof the elements of the profile were disaggregated and classified among seven (7) technicalcompetencies and three (3) attitudinal ones.The technical skills and techniques that industrial engineering interns must master and applybased on the graduation profile learning outcomes are:1.

(26% LPU, 20% TU, 9% PrU, and7% MPU). A brief overview of key elements at the four institutions as they relate tointernational context follows. All four institutions had strong student chapters of EWB-USA oncampus. LPU has a strong tradition of graduates entering service in the Peace Corps. In addition,there were international certificates and minors offered in the College of Engineering. At TUthere was a program focused on engineering for developing communities, an international optionfor senior design, and a robust study abroad program. Within the general education requirementsfor all students attending the institution was a requirement on “global literacy and humanculture”. Among four required “core courses” is included a 3-credit first
