This paper discusses methods to equip students with abilities to be able to work globally with a good understanding of different cultures, and proposes an international project-based learning where teams, consisting of students in different countries, do projects mainly at their own university under the guidance of coaches with using Internet. One trial is presented, which was carried out with cooperation of VAC (Volvo Aero Corporation), KTH (Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm) and Osaka University. The advantages of this method are: 1) good training for communication skills in English; 2) good training for international collaboration working with people of different cultural backgrounds; and 3) good motivation for learning various disciplines related to the project.
