  The American Society of Civil Engineering’s Excellence in Civil Engineering Education (ExCEEd) Teaching Workshop has been delivered each year since 1999 with great success and broad recognition. The elements of the workshop are practical and promote best practices in classroom instruction. The workshop was modified for delivery at a public polytechnic institution to faculty in disciplines as diverse as computer science

  the humanities

  and dental hygiene. The contents of the ExCEEd workshop as well as its structural practices translate well to the institutional level and lay the groundwork for a sustainable teaching certificate program

  an institutional teaching model

  and formalized faculty teaching assessment and peer observation programs. This paper will describe and document the successes and challenges of the institutional workshop as well as the modifications made from the ExCEEd materials and format.

  An Institutional Excellence in Teaching Workshop Adapted from the ExCEEd Model

  Cultural dimensions theory provides a framework for cross-cultural understanding and communication. Geert Hofstede’s work in this area offers a foundational appreciation of how a society’s culture can shape values and behaviors encountered in an international business setting. This paper presents an experiential learning project

  based on Kolb’s model

  designed to introduce cultural dimensions theory

  as well as engage students in a first-hand international experience. This model places students in the position of exploring cultural differences by being a member of an international working team so they experience the challenges of working remotely. Students encounter what it is like to work in a global team and face both cultural differences and communication difficulties. This experiential learning design creates an environment that challenges students to apply and test the theory

  discover practical applications and reflect on their own culture to bring greater meaning and learning to cultural dimensions theory.
