Engineering has increasingly become a global career. At the College of Engineering, we know the skills students learn studying abroad enhance their education and are attractive to potential employers.
Through travel programs offered by engineering faculty, students take classes and receive credit for special courses not available during the regular school year. Participants also work on independent study projects related to their majors and spend one week sightseeing and learning the country's culture. They can also take Engineering Technical Electives and get ahead in their degree.
Students at UNL may supplement their study abroad experience by joining the International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience (IAESTE), which is dedicated to promoting and supporting study and work abroad opportunities.
