The College of Engineering is committed to preparing its graduates for the 21st century through study abroad and international programs. International collaboration and competition requires early experience in both working and living with other cultures. The College maintains relationships with many international engineering schools of excellent reputation.
Students have options for studying for one to two semesters during their undergraduate program.
Graduate study at a foreign university is also becoming more common. The Assistant Dean of Enrichment and International Programs, Pamela S. Kurstedt, helps place and monitor students in exchange programs. Students with grade averages above 3.0 are eligible for most programs. Scholarships are available to defray travel costs. Global E 3 is an international exchange program for engineering students at participating universities.
