Abstract

Participation in international service-learning projects is shown to be a viable tool to educate students towards global competency. The presented model provides opportunities for intercultural engagement and meaningful exposure to global issues with minimal changes to the existing university framework. This collaborative interdisciplinary (Engineering, French, Communications) approach reflects the interdependent nature of the real world. Trip log entries show evidence of increased global awareness, an increased ability to interact effectively in a different cultural setting, and an expanded understanding of the interconnectedness of the world.
