Student Comments"EAP exposed me to different views and different chemical engineering
aspects of Chinese industry. Studying abroad teaches you to see life in
a totally different way. It is amazing and mind-opening." "I took courses on robot technology and industrial design in the
fall and returned to Sweden the following summer for a paid internship
in biophysics. EAP gives you the chance to step back, look at your academic
career, and refocus your interests. I highly recommend this for all engineers." "My first semester abroad, I took one intense engineering lab class
and began research with my professor. In the lab, I designed several objects
using Solid Edge design software and used many different machines to manufacture
them. We often worked in groups and had to learn how to evenly divide
responsibility among the group members. For spring break I spent six weeks
in the northeast mountains of Kyoto working for a race car company that
was getting ready for its big 24-hour Le Mans Race in France. I learned
how to use CATIA design software and helped test parts and designs in
the company’s wind tunnel facility." "EAP gave me a better understanding of how other countries teach
my major. My UC campus is more theory-based, where METU taught more application-based
engineering. Having a semester or year abroad will open your eyes to other
cultures and people." "Coming into this program, I didn’t have an idea of what I
wanted to specialize in. The research I did exposed me to a new field
of Electrical Engineering. My time in Japan helped me gain insight into
what I wanted to do with my major after college.
