摘要：

As international engineering teams become more prevalent, universities need to adapt educational opportunities to prepare students to work in a global environment. As part of an NSF grant to study global, virtual, engineering teams, a backpack course designed to teach cross-cultural competencies and virtual communication skills to engineering students was created. The course is taught concurrently to students participating in a global, virtual, engineering capstone team experience. This educational experience mixes practical hands-on experience of working on a global virtual team with instruction designed to help facilitate global virtual team interactions. This paper discusses the creation, implementation and revisions of this course's first year of implementation. It will highlight course content as well as practical considerations in teaching such a course.
