Study Abroad Program

MEP collaborates with the International Programs in Engineering (IPENG) office to offer a short-term, faculty-led program for first-year students. This program is a fantastic opportunity to learn leadership strategies and participate in community service. In previous years, MEP staff and students have visited Jamaica and Guatemala.
