Relevancy of global learningRelevancy of global learning as an essential as an essential engineering skill set is engineering skill set is not accepted by all not accepted by all studentsstudents – additional industry contact – additional industry contact recommendedrecommended
Initial contactInitial contact between student team(s) and between student team(s) and sponsor recommended sponsor recommended before project startbefore project start
Low number of global learning journal entriesLow number of global learning journal entries – – may be due to small percentage of grade (<5%) may be due to small percentage of grade (<5%) given to global learning. Recommend increase given to global learning. Recommend increase grade value of global learning activities or grade value of global learning activities or increase global learning integrationincrease global learning integration

Lessons Learned and Lessons Learned and Recommendations for the Future (2)Recommendations for the Future (2)
Only one of seven projectsOnly one of seven projects in Spring 2006 in Spring 2006 had had global learning componentglobal learning component. . Recommend increasing global learning Recommend increasing global learning content in each project, perhaps by including content in each project, perhaps by including one international student in each projectone international student in each project
ProjectsProjects involving involving global learningglobal learning components need to be more components need to be more open-endedopen-ended to to facilitate more intercultural collaboration and facilitate more intercultural collaboration and cage paintingcage painting
