International Opportunities

"When I was trying to decide on a major, I was caught in a dilemma. While I was very interested in technical subjects such as math and science, a part of me wanted to continue to study French and politics. I knew I needed an education that allowed me to spend an equal amount of time in both fields. So when the International Engineering curriculum was presented to me, I knew I had found a major that catered to all of my interests. The program allowed me to get a degree within an engineering discipline and also continue to develop my French language skills. In addition, flexibility within the program made it easy to plan my semester abroad. My semester in France was an amazing time for me. Not only did my French language skills greatly improve; I also became aware of the intricate web of connections that countries have with one another. As a result of my study abroad experience, engineering began to take on a whole new appearance. Engineers are leaders in today’s society, and I believe that those leaders need to be educated on the future impact they will have, not only in their own communities but around the world."
