Brazil
This is a one month long experience where engineering students will take 3 credit hours of classes in Global Engineering. They also will take part in several visits to engineering related sites, such as labs, industry and consulting firms. Students also visit some natural wonders such as the beautiful beaches of the western part of Ceara, such as Canoa Quebrada. The highlight of the trip is a tour though several natural wonders of Brazil to see the engineering and geological relevance of each one of them. This tour will include visits to heart of Amazon rain forest, staying at bungalows in the Ariau River and Rio de Janeiro, one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
