    This paper describes best practice and effective techniques in international administration (IA) within the Globally Engaged University. The Globally Engaged University is one that continually promotes, communicates, initiates, controls, monitors, and evaluates international activity in at least one of its major academic units [5]. Emphasis is IA within engineering and technology higher education. Nonetheless, the description of best practice in IA is also applicable to various other academic disciplines at the Globally Engaged University. In describing best practice in IA, the paper adds the perspective of the authors' applied experience. The combined IA experience among the coauthors includes successful international programs in South and Southeast Asia, the European Union, and the USA. Three of the co-authors are senior administrators within one and the same university in the USA. Another co-author is a senior administrator at a university in Malaysia. Broadening the perspective yet further, another team member is an IA specialist at a Globally Engaged University in Poland. The authors compare and contrast techniques and organizational structure common to IA at three differing locations: USA, Malaysia, and Poland as a central member state of the European Union.
