Abstract

This paper aims to detail a range of collaborative global education programs developed by Global Education Center for Engineers (GECE) hosted by Seoul National University. These schemes have been developed to cultivate global mindset of engineering students and to exploit synergies among partner universities. The paper describes the organization and delivery of GECE education programs since 2010. This scheme is original in its focus on aim of embracing global mindset of engineering students with diverse backgrounds, and operational models. It is believed that the paper presents a useful model for those seeking to implement similar collaborative global education programs. Since GECE has been offering courses from 2010, there are yet limited numbers of the participating students who have completed a considerable number of GECE courses at this stage. Thus, it has not, as yet, been possible to complete a longitudinal nor comparative survey to consider the impact of these programs on global mindset. These analyses will be reported in subsequent papers.
