Any Electrical Engineering major interested in studying abroad should discuss this with their academic advisor as soon as possible. In addition to your academic advisor, you should discuss with the study abroad advisor in Electrical Engineering, Prof. Ed Char, who is familiar with the curriculum and can help you make an informed decision for your time abroad.
Specific things to consider:
- Electrical Engineers are encouraged to study abroad during the spring of sophomore year or the fall of junior year.
- Students should plan to enroll in at least two technical classes while abroad.
Search the OEA Course Approval History database to select from more than 3,000 study abroad courses that have already been pre-approved for liberal education requirements and a growing list of technical courses.
The Course Approval History database is not all-inclusive and students can work with an OEA advisor to submit additional courses for review.
Don't forget - CLAS has a list of policies and limitations specifically focused on study abroad. Make sure you're aware of these as you plan your overseas experience.
