Global Project-based learning (PBL) with university-industry collaboration is one of the good ways to enhance global engineering competency. Also, an internship is useful to fill out a gap in the transition from university to industry. Niigata University has implemented global group work (GW) internships in the G-DORM project, which is an interactive student exchange program with four universities in the Mekong region. In the GW internship, students form a multi-academic year, multi-cultural, and multi-disciplinary group as if the students were international boarding students at a dormitory. And the formed groups tackle a global PBL in an internship that is carried out in cooperation with Niigata regional companies whose business extends globally. This paper presents the contents and the achievements of the GW internship carried out in Tsubame city in 2019 in terms of students’ satisfaction and interests in the regional industry. The practice in 2019 developed the motivation and the actual action of students in a step-up tendency.
