University of Kentucky College of Engineering



Study Abroad Programs offered through the UK College of EngineeringThe College of Engineering has developed some programs within engineering and specific to engineering students in order to complement offers by the University of Kentucky International Center (UK IC). To find programs offered through the International Center, please go to Bradley Hall’s resource library or visit their website at: , where you can find programs by discipline, program type, destination etc.German And Engineering Program at UKCalculus III in Germany: In 2013, the College conducted its seventh annual tour to Germany. During the program, 18 students took Calculus III, left1628775taught by a UK mathematics faculty member. In addition, students visit engineering companies in Germany and had opportunities to travel on weekends. Students stay with host families in the city of right3209925Karlsruhe. Global Energy Issues course summer exchange: In the summer 2013, 6 UK students traveled to Karlsruhe, Germany to take EGR 240, Global Energy Issues (UK Core: Global Dynamics). They were teamed with Mechanical Engineering students from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), and had the opportunity to learn more about fields such as logistics, materials and also energy issues. The six KIT students just arrived at UK in order to complete a research project with UK faculty members. Semester Exchange: The College of Engineering has established an exchange program with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany. This exchange allows our students to conduct research and study at the University for seven months from January to July. Credit for courses will be given through bypass exams taken after a student’s return to UK.Research Programs: Each summer, our engineering students have the option to participate in a Nanotechnology program at the Center for Nanonintegration in Duisburg-Essen/Germany (CENIDE). The University of Kentucky has a partnership with the University of Duisburg, which will accept 2 students a year for a research summer project. To find out more, check out Duisburg’s CENIDE program website (). Another option for undergraduates and graduate student to gain research experience in Germany is the German Academic Exchange Service’s (DAAD’s) Research in Science and Engineering Program (RISE), which funds about 300 students a year to join PhD candidates in Germany to help them with their dissertation research (daad.de/rise). The application deadline for RISE is on January 31 or each year for the following summer.Work in Germany (Co-op or Internship): Students who are proficient in German have the option to apply for co-op or internship positions in Germany. In 2013, two students interned in Germany with engineering companies through Cultural Vistas, a non-profit organization working to expand work abroad opportunities for college students.? The College of Engineering also has established partnerships with several employers to help place students in industry. Renewable Energy Program in Pamplona/SpainThe College of Engineering at the University of Kentucky is pleased to partner with the Pamplona Learning Spanish Institute to present an education abroad opportunity this summer, a renewable energies course in Pamplona, Spain. The Navarre region of Spain generates 70% of its energy from renewable resources, so this course will provide a unique perspective on the local application of green energy resources. The course is lecture-based, but includes site visits to various renewable energy installations.Students participating in the program will receive four credit hours from UK in CME599 (credit as 599 from other departments may also be possible). For most UK majors, this will count as an Engineering Science rmation on the course is found at: Study Abroad in Istanbul/TurkeyThe College of Engineering’s Dr. Karaca took a group of students for a 2 week course in Deformable Solids (EM 302) to Istanbul, Turkey. Students stayed in dorms and studied at a local university. The course was taught in English. Next year, Dr. Karaca will offer a program in Istanbul again, but it maybe be a different course that is offered. Please contact Dr. Karaca at karaca@engr.uky.edu . Semester or Summer Study Abroad Program, INTI College, MalaysiaThis program is designed for students early in their studies. Students have the opportunity to take math, physics, chemistry as well as Thermo I and other engineering classes at INTI College in Malaysia and receive UK credit for their work. Course offerings also include non-engineering classes, which might count towards USP credit at UK. The program starts in early January and ends about April of each year.Cost of living as well as tuition is relatively affordable at INTI. The campus is located outside of Kuala Lumpur, and is very safe and international. All courses are taught in English.More information on INTI College in Malaysia can be found at their website: Summer and Semester-/Year-long programs in JapanNUSIP: Nagoya Summer Program in Automotive Technology: Join NUSIP for six weeks and experience the full range of Japanese cultural life. Course-related excursions will provide you with an opportunity to discover Japanese culture and engineering. The program consists of seminars on the latest technology and tasks in Automobile engineering, an elementary Japanese language course and visits to an automobile industry factory and laboratory. The cost for this program is approximately $1600, excluding air fare and meals. Housing, public transportation pass, social activities, course fees and excursions are included in the program fee. The application deadline is February 15 for the following summer. For additional details, visit NUSIP’s web site () NUPACE: Nagoya Semester and Year-long programs: NUPACE offers a unique and flexible curriculum consisting of Japanese language instruction, Japan area/intercultural studies and a wide range of courses in the student’s major field of study. Most classes are taught in English. Provided that students meet the minimum requirement of 12 credits per semester, they are free to design their own curriculum, balancing their interest in Japanese language and Japan area/intercultural studies with their desire to pursue their “major” or independent research. Students who are proficient in Japanese are eligible to register for any course offered to degree-seeking students at Nagoya University. Additional information is available at NUPACE’s web site () .Biosystems Engineering in Vicosa, BrazilThe Dept. of Biosystems Engineering offers a semester long study and research project in Vicosa, Brazil. To find out more, please contact Dr. Tim Stombaugh at tss@uky.edu.International Work with or without leaving the country: Engineers Without BordersEngineers Without Borders: Engineers Without Borders supports community-driven development programs worldwide by collaborating with local partners to design and implement sustainable engineering projects, while creating transformative experiences and responsible leaders. EWB-UKY was started in Fall of 2008 and has since completed a road project in Nkuv, Cameroon. The group is currently working with the community of El Carrizo, Honduras to develop a water distribution system. If you would like to find out more, or get involved, please visit our site (ewb-), contact EWB at ewb.uky@ or join the Engineers Without Borders – University of Kentucky group on Facebook for information on upcoming meeting times and locations. ................
