Become a Global Engineering Fellow

The goal of Global Engineering Fellows is to provide an opportunity for technically grounded, globally engaged students to build on their international experiences. The Fellows program is intended to prepare participants to enter the workforce with intercultural awareness and communication skills, poising them to become global leaders. Additionally, fellows serve the College of Engineering by generating interest in global opportunities and helping to create meaningful connections between the college’s international and domestic students. 

If you are accepted into the pre-fellow status, you will be enrolled in a one-credit Global Engineering Fellows course (STS 313) fall 2023. This course will take place at 8:00 a.m. on Thursday mornings. In this course, you will

  • Reflect and build upon intercultural learning experiences and consider ways to apply knowledge, skills, and perspectives.
  • Assess your own cultural lens and interpret how it influences your worldview.
  • Deliver a compelling (clearly argued, articulated, inspiring, and well-prepared) presentation about how international experiences are relevant and beneficial to becoming a successful engineer.
  • Learn how to serve as a peer advisor to support students considering international opportunities.
  • Participate in a leadership retreat with other aspiring Global Fellows.
  • Earn a Global Engineering Fellows micro-credential.

Applications for the Global Engineering Fellows program are now closed. Stay tuned for program updates or email international@engr.psu.edu with any questions.
