Current Global SituationMultinational mergers and acquisitions
becoming more commonplace Siemens Westinghouse Ford-Volvo
International collaborations becoming increasingly common
Essential for US engineers and researchers to experience their professional field from a multinational perspective.
Our national competitiveness depends on it!!!

What does this minor consist of? Total of 18-20 hours.
1. Six to eight credits of a foreign language, preferably at UCF (but possibly overseas)
2. Three credits of cultural coursework at overseas partner institution
3. An experience abroad consisting of either: Nine credits of engineering coursework that will
count towards degree program, or Three credits of engineering coursework and six
credits of internship overseas

What if I don’t want to go overseas?The IE minor requires an
experience abroad.Central focus of program!!!
No exceptions!!Can be for:
1 semester (minimum) 2 semesters
Credits earned overseas can and must apply to degree.
Financial aid is available.

Very important, but a bad excuseCost of tuition is same – you pay it at UCFCost of apartment is roughly sameCost of food is roughly the sameTransportation on site generally cheaper -
no carAir fare: $500 to $2000, depending on
locationVisa, passport, fees, etc: $500 to $1,000Entertainment – can be high ($2K to $3K)
How much will it cost me?
