Global Engineering Concentration
The aim of this concentration is to provide opportunities for students to broaden their experience of other cultures while simultaneously progressing towards qualification as a professional engineer. The ability to understand and appreciate other cultural perspectives is significantly enhanced by living within another culture and such an experience will both improve the employability and effectiveness of engineering graduates in the global economy.
