The aerospace industry is becoming increasingly global as organizations attempt to manage demanding projects through international cooperation. This trend highlights the need for engineering graduates to be equipped with the skills necessary to succeed in a challenging international environment. In an attempt to broaden the traditional sense of teamwork, an International Design Synthesis Exercise was initiated with seven Delft University of Technology students and seven students from RMIT University, Melbourne. This international team worked intensively over 10 weeks to develop a feasible concept for a reusable space vehicle capable of servicing the International Space Station (ISS). This paper examines the experiences and outcomes of the IDSE by exploring both team and technical aspects.
