Engineering the Americas

In 2007, the University of Rochester joined universities from seven other countries and Miami, Fla., in a program meant to give engineering students more international experience as part of their education.

Engineering the Americas brings together 40 students from Rochester, the University of Miami, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Ecuador, Panama, and Mexico to hone their skills to better meet the challenges in the increasingly global field of engineering.

Students in the program attend meetings at some of the participating universities with leaders from industry, academia, and government in order to build lasting professional relationships.

Rochester students attended a meeting in Miami in January, and the University of Rochester hosted a meeting here in June. Topics for discussion included leadership, innovation, entrepreneurship, technology policy, and politics. Students also interact with prominent researchers from each university through the program and will get to visit world-renowned laboratories.
