About Study Abroad

Engineering is increasingly becoming a global career. At the College of Engineering, we know that the skills students learn studying abroad enhance their education and are attractive to potential employers.

Through the summer Study Abroad program, students take classes from UNL faculty in Brazil, France, Italy or China and receive credit for special courses not available during the regular school year, such as Portuguese and the History of Science and Technology. Participants also work on independent study projects related to their majors and spend one week sightseeing and learning the country's culture. They can also take Engineering Technical Electives and get ahead in ther degree.

Students at UNL may supplement their study abroad experience by joining the International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience (IAESTE), which is dedicated to promoting and supporting study and work abroad opportunities.
