Through a consortium of U.S. and foreign engineering schools, GE3 provides an efficient and cost-effective mechanism through which U.S. faculty can secure overseas placements for large numbers of their students. Participating students will maintain progress towards their degree while studying and working abroad with academic mentors, at no additional tuition cost and with stipends form internships offsetting overseas living cost.
