CEE Abroad

CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERS ABROAD

In the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, we encourage our students to seek out global experiences that will shape their educational and personal growth on the path to becoming engineering leaders of the 21st Century. These transformative experiences are within reach for so many CEE students thanks to the Joe S. Mundy Global Learning Endowment, which provides students with travel funds for immersive

experiences in new cultures through study abroad, research in the field, and international work, volunteerism, and exploration. Though the Covid-19 pandemic cut many travel plans short, 14 undergraduates enjoyed life-changing experiences this academic year. From research in Costa Rica to mountain climbing in Bolivia and driving through Iceland, they’ve shared their photos with us so we can live vicariously through their adventures.
