Results of Gitsham et al.’s [28] survey of CEOs and other executives focus on how softskills and hard skills are beneficial for leaders at all levels of the organization. Specifically,acquisition of interpersonal skills may provide added benefits of knowing and understanding ofhow to interact with people with different cultures and apply the skills to improve organizationalperformance. Soft skills are a set of interpersonal and social skills, whereas hard skills includethe technical or administrative procedures in which the results are quantifiable and measurable[43

engineering program can take to facilitate GV team collaborationswith partner universities.Introduction Globalization of engineering and business has necessitated collaboration among culturallyand globally diverse groups of people [1]. Traditionally this required key company personnel tojourney to international locations using expensive and time-consuming travel [2]. To counter thetime and monetary costs associated with this travel many companies have turned to using virtualcommunication tools to contact international counterparts to share information and collaborate[3]. This collaboration requires individuals to have the hard skills needed to perform the requiredengineering tasks blended with the soft skills that facilitate cross-cultural

Beingan engineer has become much more than being a good problem-solver, critical thinker, andindependent thinker.

The application of engineering skills to community serviceprojects distinguishes service learning from the typical internships, co-ops and fellowships thatstudents frequently seek.

In spiteof the importance of these measures, it is also obvious that these numbers in and by themselveshave very little to say about the quality or actual impact of internationalization.European graduates have problems conveying to potential employers what soft skills they haveacquired thanks to international mobility.
