| International
Opportunities Increase for Students |
|
The profession of engineering is being transformed by the globalization
of the world economy. Many engineering companies have become global
enterprises, and engineers need different skills than what were
required five years ago to be successful in this emerging environment.
U.S. based engineers are engaging in design, planning, and maintenance
activities with partners across the globe. This requires greater
understanding and sensitivity to multi-cultural problems. |
|
The
College of Engineering at Colorado State University currently offers
several international programs and is developing new ones to prepare
future engineers to have long-term careers in a global engineering
profession. Learn
more about the opportunities COE has underway to expand knowledge
on international engineering.
