摘要

Nowadays, engineering graduates are required to work in an increasingly globalized world, where most large engineering projects currently require multi-national teams of multi-disciplinary professionals to work together and, therefore, a better understanding of the global economy, communication skills, cultural awareness, and interpersonal skills are critical to engineers. In this context, universities around the world are increasingly moving to establish international partnerships in their educational and research programs. One of the main purposes of international programs is to provide students value-added technical and cultural experiences. Study abroad programs are recognized as high-impact educational experiences. However, engineering students typically do not have the same variety of offerings of international program as students of other disciplines have, such as humanities or social science students. In this paper, the authors provide an overview of the critical aspects of developing a consortium among two universities in the U.S. and two Brazilian universities with the goal of establishing a self-sustainable student exchange program in undergraduate engineering education, and to increase the participation of U.S. students in international experiences. The activities in this program include the establishment of an agreement between the institutions, the implementation of a course transfer process, and the development of a procedure for foreign language training and cultural preparation. In addition, we also discuss the key lessons learned over the first three years of the program. Our program is under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Education's Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) on the U.S. side, and under the auspices of the Coordenacao de Aperfeicoamento de Pessoal de Nivel Superior (CAPES) of the Brazilian Ministry of Education, on the Brazilian side.
