International Engineering Certificate
[ List of All Engineering Certificate
Programs ]
Advances in communications and transportation technologies
coupled with a historical trend of nations moving towards
market economies have made it possible for companies to
function using the best locations and resources no matter
where in the world. The resources available are of a wide
variety including money, state-of-the-art technologies,
know-how and scientific discoveries, raw materials, components,
and human resources. An effective engineer in this global
environment is one that complements his/her core technical
knowledge with excellent cross-cultural competence and international
exposure. The certificate program prepares graduates for
positions in multinational companies and foreign organizations.
To earn the certificate, which is noted on the student’s
permanent transcript, students are required to satisfy the
following:
-
Language Component [see
note 1]: Six (6) credits of at least 200 level courses
in a single language (excluding English).
-
Internationalization Component
[see note 2]: Six (6) credits from the International and
Cultural Diversity courses in the university core curriculum.
-
Global Engineering Design Component:
Three (3) credits from one of the following:
- ENGR 410 Global Engineering
- Design course in an engineering department with a significant
international component
-
International Experience Component
[see note 3]: Three (3) credits. The international experience
component is individualized and must be approved by the
College of Engineering.
-
Students could place out of these courses
with AP credit or by showing proficiency by exam. These
courses can be taken in or outside the US. However,
immersion language to gain this basic level of language
learning will not count for the international experience.
-
At least one course must have significant
focus on international diversity.
-
May be satisfied by an approved study
abroad program, international internship, directed study
or research experience, or another approved course or
field experience. The minimum time period to be abroad
is one summer term. Students are encouraged to go abroad
in programs that are appropriate to their academic and
career objectives.
