Engineering Majors Info Meeting

UCSB engineers can study abroad, and should! By spending a year, a semester or even just a summer studying engineering abroad, you will greatly enhance your undergraduate experience and improve your career prospects as well.

There are SO many reasons to study abroad. Here are a few:

• Engage in academics, research, internships & special programs.
• Develop self-confidence and independence.
• Experience a different educational system and get a new perspective on the discipline of engineering.
• Improve your critical thinking & problem solving skills.
• Expand your world view by experiencing another culture firsthand.
• Prepare for a career in an internationally connected world.
• Enhance your resume and/or graduate school applications.

Become engaged in your world through UCEAP!
