MUPIC: MULTIDISCIPLINARY PROJECT IN AN INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT

Original language description

MUPIC (multidisciplinary project in an international context) is an international engineering project blending students from several universities (UWB, UMONS, Florida universitaria and Turku University of Applied Sciences) having different backgrounds (mechanical engineering, project planning, business and marketing, industrial design). Students from the partner universities work together on an assignment from a private company. Their task is to improve an existing product according to the company/customer needs. In parallel, the project developed an online course to support students work in multidisciplinary international project teams. It contains modules on intercultural communication, language skills necessary for effective work in an international team, engineering design guidelines, project management, working in virtual teams as well as online communication. It is accompanied by a glossary of industrial design terminology. A teacher’s guide will be developed to provide all the necessary information and instructions for the use of the online course after the project lifetime. A kickoff week is organized to allow team building prior to the development of the work which is performed online. Three checkpoints are organized during the project to get feedback from experts in the different fields. The presentation of the projects at the end of the course is intended to be face to face, including a participation of the companies that have submitted the assignments. Unfortunately, COVID crisis prevented most of the face to face interaction for both pilot sessions of the project (in 2020 and 2021). Nevertheless, students succeeded in providing all deliverables at the end of the project.
