All new Global Engineering Fellows will be required to take a 1 credit course during the Fall semester.  The course will be offered once a week for 50 min. At the end of this course, Fellows will be able to:

• Articulate the values of international experiences to their peers, faculty and potential employers, in
both group and individual settings.
• Demonstrate knowledge of Penn State’s international programs that are well-suited for engineering
students, summarize the benefits and trade-offs of diverse options, and discuss the application
process.
• Make a compelling (clearly argued, articulated, inspiring, and well prepared) presentation about how
their international experiences are relevant and beneficial to becoming a successful engineer.
• Anticipate the cultural demands that may accompany international business travel and formulate a
plan to compensate for such needs, including identifying appropriate resources to investigate how one
can professionally engage with the target foreign culture.
• Discover opportunities for international internships, careers and fellowships.
• Assess their own cultural lens and interpret how it influences their worldview.

If a student is approved to become a Global Engineering Fellow, students will be registered by the Global Engineering Engagement Office prior to the semester start.
