requiredeveloping a comprehensive, uniform approach to STEM internationalization at the institutionallevel. In this paper, we discuss our development of the Global Science and Engineering Program(GSEP), a broad internationalization initiative uniformly spanning all engineering, math, andnatural science programs offered at Northern Arizona University. To help pave the way forothers, we pay particular attention to critical GSEP design features and rationale.1.0 IntroductionGlobalization has been the predominant economic theme for the past decade, leading to broadglobal distribution of research, design, and production teams and facilities spanning the fullspectrum of science and engineering disciplines [1]. Modern STEM graduates will be expectedto communicate

Indo Japanese team including faculty membersworked together for about four months to develop a multi cultural portal and demonstrated thatthe experience can be enormously enriching. The portal is meant to help travelers acrossdifferent cultures – with an initial illustration targeting at Japanese travelers coming to India. Theportal requirements were created by science and engineering students in a Japanese universityand the software application was developed by students in an Indian engineering college. Whilethe participants cherished their international experience, they felt that they should have spentmore time preparing for the visit including learning the other language and having morecommunication.
