GEC Project - Scenario Index

The Global Engineering Competency (GEC) project aims to help technical professionals learn to more effectively span cultural boundaries. At the heart of this project is a collection of 70+ global engineering work scenarios designed for instruction and assessment. All freely available scenarios in our collection are listed on this page. For links to usage tips and other resources, see our About page.
