Although the number of foreign workers in the secondary industries in Tsubame City, Niigata Prefecture, has increased, some small-scale manufacturing companies have encountered difficulties in responding to foreign workers because they have little experience in teaching them how to work and adapt to life. Given the situation, Niigata University in Japan conducted a short-project-based learning (short-PBL) by multinational and multidisciplinary student groups in Tsubame City in August for approximately 10 days including pre- and post-studies. “Propose to Realize Global Workplace Environment” was the main topic of discussion in the 2023 short-PBL. This study was conducted to prove the effectiveness of short-PBL by a multinational and multidisciplinary student group to propose the globalization of a small-scale factory based on the case of 2023. The results showed that student’s knowledge and skills were enhanced through the short-PBL that discusses the global workplace environment with global teams of both company and student group sides. Moreover, from discussions between multinational and multidisciplinary students, the short PBL could provide the host company with a new insight into the future improvement of globalization.

Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) is a pedagogical method useful for improving students' global competence. A similar effect has been shown in industry-academia project-based learning (PBL) type COIL programs; however, little is known about the effectiveness of the COIL programs in developing the global competence of company employees involved. Through semi-structured interviews with host manufacturing companies of the industry-academia PBL-type COIL program conducted by Niigata University in August 2022, this study indicated that the program could be particularly effective in improving the global competencies, such as exhibiting a global mindset and communicating cross-culturally, especially of junior employees as re-skilling, in particular with the blended online and onsite. This result implies that the program can enhance the international management of companies such as developing highly globally competent junior employees and developing new overseas businesses by the junior employees.

In the context of rapid technological innovation and globalization, engineering education has been focused on global competencies to foster students who can solve multi-cultural and multi-disciplinary problems in the global society. In particular, after the COVID-19 pandemic, global project-based learning (PBL) to enhance global competencies has been conducted online with a pedagogy of collaborative online international learning (COIL) with industry-academia collaboration. A current challenge is the evaluation of global competencies in COIL. This study focuses on a weekly report system as an evaluation tool for global competencies in engineering education. Hence, this study aims to examine the weekly report system, as a trial utilization, which was applied to an industry-academia PBL-type COIL program conducted by the Faculty of Engineering, Niigata University in the winter of 2021. Consequently, the usefulness of the tool was demonstrated and future challenges were discussed.

Global project-based learning (PBL) with university-industry collaboration is one of the good ways to enhance global engineering competency. Also, an internship is useful to fill out a gap in the transition from university to industry. Niigata University has implemented global group work (GW) internships in the G-DORM project, which is an interactive student exchange program with four universities in the Mekong region. In the GW internship, students form a multi-academic year, multi-cultural, and multi-disciplinary group as if the students were international boarding students at a dormitory. And the formed groups tackle a global PBL in an internship that is carried out in cooperation with Niigata regional companies whose business extends globally. This paper presents the contents and the achievements of the GW internship carried out in Tsubame city in 2019 in terms of students’ satisfaction and interests in the regional industry. The practice in 2019 developed the motivation and the actual action of students in a step-up tendency.
