Abstract
An innovative, easy to implement International Engineering Certificate is introduced in this work-in-progress, innovative practice paper. The certificate enhances a four year engineering or computer science major without delaying the time to graduate. Other benefits include low cost, flexible structure, appeal to diverse audiences and potential for external support opportunities. The certificate is compared to four international opportunities provided by other engineering programs.
