Developing Multidisciplinary Global Skills to Prepare Engineering Students for Leading Sustainable Infrastructure Solutions
The University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) and the Universidad Nacional de Rosario will develop a new, bilateral exchange program for engineering students that focuses on leadership and sustainability. Students will participate and gain broader international perspectives crucial to solving global infrastructure problems. While abroad, students will participate in networking meetings, field visits, and workshops, and will form bi-national teams to address specific problems and design collaborative, sustainable solutions. This program will help bridge the study abroad participation gap by prioritizing Hispanic and first-generation college students from UTEP by strengthening the capacities of both universities to offer opportunities abroad.
