Description:
Global E³ is an international exchange program for engineering
students. The program offers the opportunity for American students
to study in one of 17 countries overseas, and for international
students at partner campuses to study in the United States. The
program is designed to allow students to take courses overseas
for credit at their home institutions for one semester or for
one full year. Students are also given the opportunity to complement
their study abroad experience with an internship after one semester
of study abroad.
Participating
students are nominated by their home institution and receive credit
at home for academic work completed abroad. Integral to the program
is intensive language instruction and the opportunity for students
to undertake a practical, paid internship in an industrial setting
or laboratory in the host country. Please visit the UIC Study
Abroad office for information on how to apply for this program.
