An agenda for future directions for enhancing international collaboration among faculty, students, curricular, and laboratory development

International collaboration in Higher and Engineering Education has been receiving increasing attention of national governments, international agencies and institutions of higher education during the past few decades, particularly since the general acceptance of globalization worldwide. Among the goals of international collaboration is the addition of an international dimension to the course contents and teaching programs. The formalization of collaboration is essentially through an MoU which sets out the objectives, mechanisms, financial arrangements and IPR issues.
