Work Abroad
Getting Started
Overseas experience can enhance your future job prospects, provide exposure to foreign business environments and help you understand global trends in the engineering profession. Whether it's an internship with a multinational corporation or a research position in a foreign laboratory, overseas employment presents unique opportunities for professional development.
Like any job search, arranging overseas employment requires a certain amount of preparation and legwork. As an engineering student, you have several options for beginning your search. Take advantage of campus resources such as the Engineering Career Resource Center to polish your resume and search CoE employment databases. Connect with CoE faculty and ask for references. Talk with international students about the job markets in their home countries. Visit the web sites of our partner institutions and explore opportunities for research internships. We encourage you to review these web resources and visit the IPE office with any questions.
