Engineering abroad
Work. Volunteer. Study. The world...at your fingertips.
Global Engineering Experiences
We're excited to support the Global Engineering Experiences initiative - highly subsidized by the Schulich School of Engineering and its supporters. Students can travel abroad over reading week on department-specific trips, volunteer in developing communities or enjoy a global entrepreneurship experience.
Global Department Experiences
Experience the world during your fall and winter reading weeks. These six- to nine-day trips explore engineering, industries, services and history in other parts of the globe.
Global Community Projects
Solve engineering challenges in developing communities around the globe. Implement life-changing technologies or support the development of new infrastructure.
Global Engineering Entrepreneurship
In partnership with the Hunter Hub for Entrepreneurial Thinking, Schulich is offering engineering students the opportunity to travel abroad to pursue their innovative ideas.
