Engineering International Experience

Union's Engineering International Experience Requirement

Professionals in the 21st century need to appreciate and understand the many diverse cultures of the world. Union College has taken a leadership role in engineering education by requiring that every engineering student have an international experience prior to graduating from the College through one of the following options:

  1. Terms Abroad
  2. International Internships
  3. International Design Projects
  4. Mini-Terms Abroad
  5. Other International Experience Options
