Engineering Study Abroad Info Session: RSVP for Monday, November 21st @4pm

Posted on by

Hello everyone,

As promised, I come bearing an RSVP for the study abroad info session we will be holding on Monday, November 21st from 4-5pm in the Maple Hall Great Room. Please encourage your students to RSVP if they attend! Food will be provided.

I will discuss the basics of study abroad: types of engineering abroad program, how to find them, how to apply, and what advising conversations to have before making the decision. I will also highlight a few programs of interest with approaching due dates. A big theme of the session will be to plan ahead, so students are encouraged to come even if they aren’t certain yet that study abroad is for them!

Let me know if you have any questions about this event in the meantime.

Hello everyone,

Attached is a flyer for an Engineering Switzerland info session held on the 16th from 11am-12pm in Loew 202. A blurb from the faculty: “Engineering Switzerland is a 4-week early fall study abroad program to the beautiful city of Lausanne where students will get a first-hand look at the history of Swiss engineering and how it has helped this small nation to become a leader in high-tech research and engineering. With excursions to the CERN facility in nearby Geneva, cheese and chocolate tours in Gruyères and Broc, and the Matterhorn, students will have the opportunity to explore the country and culture of Switzerland all while fulfilling a UW engineering core course. EE215 (4 credits), ENG496 (1 credit).”

CMU Engineering and Public Policy Program Info & Application

Posted on by

Hello Students,

As an M.S. alum of the EPP program, I recommend it for anyone interested in technology and policy interaction.  The mentioned program flyer can be found at:

https://www.cmu.edu/epp/prospective/ms-in-epp/imagesfiles/epp_ms_recuit_flyer_v9.pdf [cmu.edu]

I hope this message finds you all well. EPP continues to grow its professional M.S. degree in Engineering and Public Policy, adding nine new students this year. As we gear up for this year’s recruiting season, we are hoping you could help us get the word out to potentially interested students.

EPP M.S. students aspire to work at the intersection of technology and public policy and to grapple with the implications of emerging technologies for organizations and society. Incoming students have a variety of technical backgrounds from their prior degrees or professional experience. While most students  have  a  science  or  engineering  undergraduate  degree,  we  also  consider  social  scientists with an interest in technology issues and a strong quantitative background. EPP students go on to Continue reading →
