| Abstract (English): |
The use of systematic design methodology and the formation of concurrent multinational design teams are critical for the development of innovative products and the competitiveness in the global market. Therefore, there is an increasing need in forming engineers with the necessary competencies to be successful working in multinational design teams. In response, a group of institutions members of the Latin American and Caribbean Consortium of Engineering Institutions (LACCEI) introduced international collaborative experiences for undergraduate students through multinational design projects. The collaborative projects carried out within the framework of LACCEI suggested the development of educational material in this particular area that could be accessible for all universities participating in this effort. This paper reports the virtual course developed for undergraduate students on collaborative global design. A comprehensive description of the course and its applications will be discussed.

| Abstract (Spanish): |
El uso de metodologías de diseño sistemático y la formación de equipos de diseño concurrente mutinacionales son críticos para el desarrollo de productos innovadores y la competitividad en el mercado global. Por lo tanto, hay una creciente necesidad en formar ingenieros con las competencias necesarias para ser exitoso trabajando en equipos de diseño multinacionales. En respuesta a esta necesidad, un grupo de instituciones miembros del Consorcio de Instituciones de Ingeniería en Lartino América y el Caribe (LACCEI) introdujeron experiencias colaborativas internacionales para estudiantes de pregrado a través de proyectos de diseño multinacionales. Los proyectos colaborativos que se llevan a cabo en el marco de LACCEI sugirieron el desarrollo de material educativo en esta área en particular que pudiera ser accesible para todas las universidades participando en este esfuerzo. Este artículo reporta el curso virtual desarrollado para estudiantes de pregrado sobre diseño colaborativo global. Una descripción exahustiva del curso y su applicacion son tratados en el artículo.
