THE GLOBAL ENGINEER
In addition to bringing the best of the world to Berkeley Engineering, we have created a suite of programs and resources to facilitate Berkeley Engineering students engaging with the best of the rest of the world.
GLOBE Ambassadors
The GLOBE Ambassadors program is a non-credit study-travel program that enables Berkeley Engineering students, primarily those with little or no international experience, to learn about countries and regions and how technology innovation is conducted in those countries. In Spring 2023, the program featured preparatory sessions at UC Berkeley followed by one week of travel to Saudi Arabia and Taiwan.
Outgoing Programs
In addition to opportunities for international experience through the GLOBE Ambassador Program, there are numerous opportunities for students to experience a start to their career as global engineers through internships and study abroad programs. The resources listed are partial and are updated periodically as we speak with institutions about their programs
GLOBE Discovery Scholarship
The College of Engineering’s Dado and Maria Banatao GLOBE Center seeks to encourage engineering students to explore engineering careers overseas and to increase students’ understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion globally. To achieve this, we have established a travel funding program to support undergraduate engineering majors seeking to undertake summer corporate, institutional, or academic research internships abroad.
