Globalization has turned product design upside down. Members of a single design team in multinational firms may be located in several countries such as the USA, UK, Italy, India and so on. It is a challenge to give engineering and business students a taste of this experience.

This paper describes the experience, its lessons and compares it with other attempts at multinational student design-team projects.
