In 1988 when the Summer Engineering Program in London
began, it was the only foreign study experience available to Notre Dame
engineering students.
Since that time, over 700 engineering undergraduates from
all of the disciplines offered in the College of Engineering have participated
in the program.
Why has it been so successful? The program recognizes that because professional
engineers practice in an international environment, they must be responsive to
global technological progress as well as social concerns. Students who participate
in the international study programs, like the London Summer Program, are exposed
to technological achievements in other countries and the everyday life in those
countries.
They become aware of the world, their voice in it, and their responsibilities
to it. |
