Abstract
The Institute for Innovation in International Engineering Education(IIIEE) at the University of Tokyo (UT/Todai) offers various courses and programs that provide Japanese students with opportunities to internationalize. In this year's paper, we focus on the "M/K-Skype" course and the related visits to MIT in Boston, USA, and KTH in Stockholm, Sweden. In the course, students do a small project for which they have to communicate with students from overseas universities through Skype. After the course, selected students get the opportunity to join us on a visit to the partner university and get to meet their Skype partners in person, while we have also received groups of MIT and KTH students who participated in the Skype classes at our campus in Tokyo. Students don't only improve their language skills and self-confidence, but also learn to collaborate internationally and get to talk about different education approaches and what life is like at universities abroad.
