Global Engineering Education
Study abroad and other global experiences to elevate your education
Fulton Schools Global
Gain a global perspective
Global learning experiences provide opportunities for you to develop intercultural competencies and understand professional practices used outside the United States.
You can become competitive in a global job market and learn to work effectively with people who may define problems in different ways.
Study abroad and gain so much more than a trip abroad!
International study broadens students’ perspectives of engineering, leading us to globally aware and socially responsible solutions that create value and meaningful impact around the world.

Summer Engineering Research Internship for U.S. Students (SERIUS) at National University of Singapore
Singapore is one of the most diverse locations in the world, housing populations from around the world that coexist together.
Singapore is made up of not just one island but a main island with 63 surrounding islets. The main island has a total land area of 682 square km. However, its compact size belies its economic growth. In just 150 years, Singapore has grown into a thriving center of commerce and industry. Its former role as an entrepot has diminished, as the nation has increased its manufacturing base.
