Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering

Course Objective

The purpose of the Engineering study abroad program is to enable students to expand the technical skills they are learning in the class room to real life international applications.  As globalization of engineering continues the importance of developing the skills necessary to collaborate internationally becomes increasingly more important.  The study abroad program is a great opportunity for students to develop these skills as they work together with students from another country on hydrologic problems of real importance.  To learn more go to the BYU International Study Programs website.
