Abstract

In this paper we establish that study abroad, as part of an engineering education, can significantly improve the set of skills new engineers bring to their fields, in the process improving their career opportunities and better meeting the demands of the job market. Data in this paper come from on-going research being conducted by the Institute of International Education for the National Science Foundation with alumni of the Global Engineering Education Exchange (Global E ³) program, as well as on-line research of the hiring practices and articulated needs of industry and anecdotal evidence from faculty and Global E ³ alumni.
