The International
Engineering Program is a dual-degree program combining a B.A. in German,
French and/or Spanish with a B.S. in one of the engineering disciplines.
IEP students study language and culture each semester along with their
engineering curriculum. In the fourth year of the five-year program, they
then go abroad as interns with engineering based firms in Europe or Latin
America, and also as exchange students with one of our partner
universities |
Thomas
K. Jewell is the Carl B. Jansen Professor and Chair of the Civil
Engineering Program at Union College. He is also Director of
International Programs for the engineering and computer science
division of the College. Over the past five years, Union has
sent 88% of its engineering graduates abroad for some type of
international experience. Tom was instrumental in developing the
mini-term program at Union, and had led student groups to
Australia, New Zealand, and Spain. Recently he has been working
to increase Union’s engineering exchange programs by developing
relationships with universities in France, Germany, and Mexico.
He has published numerous technical papers and two text books.
