Engineers of the 21st century are responding constantly to new technology and marketplace demands. This evolving market requires not only technical proficiency but knowledge of international issues as well. By participating in the Cockrell School of Engineering International Engineering Programs (IEP) you will:

The Cockrell School of Engineering is developing educational programs in other countries to help students like you attain the skills necessary for success in the global marketplace. Through IEE, students are introduced to a new culture and learn about international issues important to the engineering field.

Engineering students from all disciplines are encouraged to participate in programs offered by the IEE office during their undergraduate careers. Significant financial aid is available for all of the international programs. We have also compiled a Student Guide to help plan your trip and orient you to the programs. You can also take a look at some of our Past IEE Programs to get a feel for what we have to offer.
