Incoming Exchange Students - Welcome to Michigan!
If you have been chosen as a College of Engineering exchange student, consider yourself a stellar student! You are one of a select group of students who will be able to enjoy a limited stay at the University of Michigan with access to top-notch facilities and challenging classes! After the College of Engineering received a recommendation from your home institution, your application was carefully screened by your host academic department. Once admission was granted, you were selected to receive a tuition fellowship to offset the cost of studying in Ann Arbor.
Please consider the IPE office (contact/directions) a place where you can:
- Ask questions about the College of Engineering, the UM and Ann Arbor.
- Orient yourself to the University and the College of Engineering
- Help us to encourage our domestic students to study overseas
- Share a bit of your country and home institution with other CoE students
The College of Engineering has committed tuition dollars to your studies because we value diverse cultural perspectives and recognize that engineering is a global field. We hope that you will act as an ambassador of your home institution and country and make a positive contribution to the CoE community. As part of your ambassadorial responsibilities, we ask that you take part in at least one outreach activity during your stay here. Some ideas are listed below:
- Arrange an information session within your department to discuss engineering education, work or research in your home country (our office will help you coordinate this effort)
- Take part in information fairs and special events during International Education Week (November of each year)
- Participate in IPE panel discussions about study and work abroad programs in your home country
We hope your stay is full of new experiences, stimulating classes and opportunities to enrich yourself intellectually as well as personally. Please consult the following links as you prepare for your arrival in Ann Arbor:
