The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering supports study abroad and encourages it for all interested students. Often, students find some of the softer skills of engineering more easily found overseas: communication, ethics and problem-solving--along with research opportunities for more hands-on experience.
Any Computer Engineering major interested in studying abroad should discuss this with their academic advisor as soon as possible. In addition to your academic advisor, you should discuss with the study abroad advisor in Computer Engineering, Dr. Ed Char, who is familiar with the Computer Engineering curriculum and can help you make an informed decision for your time abroad.
Specific things to consider:
- CPE majors are encouraged to study abroad spring of sophomore year or fall of junior year.
- Students should plan to enroll in at least two technical classes while abroad.
- with the Office of Education Abroad process to guide you through program selection, approval and application.
Search the OEA Course Approval History database to select from more than 3,000 study abroad courses that have already been pre-approved for liberal education requirements and a growing list of technical courses.
The Course Approval History database is not all-inclusive and students can work with an OEA advisor to submit additional courses for review.
Don't forget - COE has a list of policies and limitations specifically focused on study abroad. Make sure you're aware of these as you plan your overseas experience.
Students are encouraged to study abroad during a semester that fits them best academically. In the past, this has typically been the Spring semester of sophomore year or Fall of junior year, however, we encourage you to talk to Dr. Char and your academic advisor to make sure this timeframe fits your needs. If you wish to go abroad in the Summer, please consult with your academic advisor about the best coursework for you to take.
Study abroad opportunities are not limited to formal instruction. Consider taking advantage of the unique research, internship, and fieldwork opportunities available in different regions of the world. This not only expands your personal and professional network but gives you critical intercultural skills as well as direct hands-on experience.
