Connecting Campuses and Building International Competencies with Study Abroad Programs Conference Paper

abstract

• This paper reviews how Texas A&M University at Qatar's globalized study abroad program addresses multiple needs in the field of international education abroad: 1) Arabic language study, 2) international experience in the Middle East, 3) expansion of opportunities for engineering students abroad, and 4) linkages between student academics, socio-cultural experiences, and professional exposure. The mechanics, processes, support mechanisms, and faculty involvement will be discussed. The sending and receiving successes, challenges, and individual student experiences will also be shared. To conclude, a strategic vision to other institutions considering the development of similar international programs will be posited. 2010 IEEE.
