MEP International Option

Description

The MEP’s International Option gives students an in-depth experience in global engineering education, culture, practices, and competition.

The Option makes use of Georgia Tech educational platforms in the United States, Europe, and Asia (Georgia Tech -Lorraine, The Logistics Institute in Singapore, etc.) by
coupling with their affiliated institutions, and serves as a base for U.S. and non-U.S. students to acquire an academic background.

Students also have the choice to intern at an overseas site of one of the program's industry sponsors.

International Option Program Details

A parallel Certificate in Manufacturing -- International Option involves at least one semester (Fall, Spring, or Summer) of overseas experience on the part of the students.  U.S. students would spend their time outside the U.S.  Non-U.S. students (with I-20) would spend their time in a country other than their home country and the U.S. to receive the Manufacturing Certificate -- International Option.

Students can take courses, perform thesis research, or conduct independent studies in Georgia Tech - Lorraine (GTL) or The Logistic Institute (TLI) in Singapore to acquire their international experience.

Students can also take advanced courses at GTL, TLI, ENSAM, SUPELEC, NUS, or other overseas affiliated institutions.  Courses taken at universities other than GTL and TLI must be approved by the student's department at Georgia Tech in Atlanta.

Students may also intern with a company outside the U.S. and their home country to meet the International Option requirement.
