Study Abroad

Industrial and manufacturing engineers can be found around the world. No matter where our students end up, or what international clients and partners they may work with during their careers, the education we provide in the industrial engineering program at Penn State provides them with the tools they need to become globally minded engineering leaders.

A study abroad experience is a tremendous opportunity for our students to immerse themselves in a new culture, adapt to new styles of communication, interact with international peers, and gain a worldwide perspective on some of the challenges that exist in industry, all while earning credit toward their degrees.

We have built partnerships with a number of international schools to offer study abroad experiences to our industrial engineering students, including:

• Jonkoping University – Sweden
• National University of Singapore in Singapore
• Pforzheim University in Pforzheim, Germany
• Shanghai Jiao Tong University
• Technion – Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel
• Tecnun – The University of Navarra in San Sebastian, Spain
• The University of Auckland in Auckland, New Zealand
• The University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia
• The University of Sydney in Sydney, Australia
• The University of Limerick in Limerick, Ireland

IE students are not limited to these schools. For a complete listing of possible study abroad opportunities for Penn State students, visit global.psu.edu.
