International Graduate Studies Program in Engineering
 As
technology expands our horizons and connects the world with increasing
speed, tomorrow's engineer must be able to work internationally. It
means understanding not only science and technology, but people as
well—through their languages and cultures.
The College of Engineering and Applied Science offers to its grad
students a certificate program in International Engineering, enhancing
the Master of Science,* Master of Engineering,* and Doctor of
Philosophy degrees.
The purpose of this program is to make available to the engineering
graduate student overseas research internships and coursework with an
international focus, which will prepare them for work as part of
multi-national teams, ensuring their success in today's global marketplace.
The program provides:
-
International research internships
-
Internationally focused engineering and
management courses including cultural, political, and legal issues
-
Certificate signed by home and host institutions, posted to
transcripts

| What Students Say About the Program "The experience has been the highlight of
my life so far. I can honestly say that I learned more than I had
expected. I learned things such as management and systems
engineering. In addition, through conversation, lectures, and tours
of aerospace facilities, I have seen how the aerospace industry
differs in Europe."
—Bill Kalinowsky, awarded the International Engineering Certificate
in conjunction with a Master of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering
Sciences, University of Colorado at Boulder, May 2002
"Very
good learning experience and insight into Scottish approach to
aerospace engineering."
—Steve Schneider, awarded
the International Engineering Certificate in conjunction with a
Master of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering Sciences, University of
Colorado at Boulder, May 2000
