About one thousand three hundred students enter Virginia Tech’s College of Engineering as a freshman each year. These engineering freshmen complete a 1-year long general engineering (GE) program, conducted by the Department of Engineering Education (EngE), before transferring into one of thirteen engineering majors. This university has taken several initiatives in recent years to promote internationalization of campus. This paper presents summary of various international activities introduced in the GE program during last 3 years and students’ responses are analyzed. In addition, some innovative ideas, aided by latest technology, to enhance global education experiences for engineering students are presented.
