Development of intercultural competences of students in engineering disciplines

Various mobility programs form an inseparable part of modern university studies. Those mobility programs are both intersector and international ones. The paper shows new approaches to incorporate international experiences into higher engineering education. First, it analyzes the current situation of international student mobility, before emphasizing the general motivation for international student exchange especially in engineering science. Paper explains the special requirements and according setup of a program that aims at increasing outbound mobility by encouraging engineering students to spend a study semester or an internship abroad.
