At the College of Engineering, we believe that today’s engineers must be prepared to solve global challenges. That’s why we offer a range of international experiences — whether you’re looking to spend a full year abroad as part of our world-renowned International Engineering Program or join a short-term project-based trip. No matter which path you choose, you’ll gain cross-cultural experience, grow your global network, and build the skills today’s employers value.
