Abstract :
This panel presents three different models of international engineering opportunities. Each of these universities-Boston University, University of Rhode Island and Worcester Polytechnic Institute-has developed international opportunities for undergraduate engineers that work within their respective curricula and offer an enhanced education to students who take advantage of the opportunities offered. This session provides an understanding of the management and logistical structure of each program, and how it fits into the respective curricula.
