There is a growing demand for engineering graduates with international experience.  Employers are seeking applicants with an awareness of global business practices, cross-cultural communication skills, and language fluency.  The A. James Clark School of Engineering at the University of Maryland is committed to providing you with a quality engineering education that will prepare you to work in a global environment. 

You have the opportunity to enhance your academic experience by studying engineering abroad. Earning a Minor in International Engineering will provide you with an understanding of international business cultures with a focus on the engineering and technology fields as well as an engineering experience in another country.

Your study abroad experience will help you develop the knowledge, skills, and abilities that so many employers seek, giving you an edge over other engineering students in the job market. Most students report that study abroad is the experience of a lifetime! You will have the chance to travel the world, meet new people, learn about other cultures and share your own culture.
