Based on the analysis of globalization in civil engineering and education, this paper proposed the importance and necessity of setting up the course of international civil engineering management. It is further proposed the course should cover all aspects of the latest development in civil engineering, such as the common practices in project management, the impact of cultural differences, the challenging role of leaders and leadership, the complexity of market characteristics, and the operation and influence of professional and trade associations. In order to integrate theory with practice, it is highly recommended that case studies are used in the teaching and students are encouraged to work collaboratively towards their assessment. Finally，a multi-scale assessment is introduced to evaluate students’ learning outcome, including their ability to think critically, their presentation skills and teamwork spirit.
