Education Abroad
The Mechanical Engineering Department encourages students to broaden their horizons by studying abroad. Early planning on the part of the student is critical to make sure course requirements are met while abroad so the student can complete his or her degree on time. For more information, contact Frances Fouch in the College of Engineering Undergraduate Advising Office and the EAP office.
