Where Do Cornell Engineers Study Abroad?
“New Zealand is geologically gorgeous, I enjoyed seeing millions of years of history come to life when I mapped deformation in Southern Alps. We spent five weeks in the field and learnt the use of remote sensing data to assist finding Alpine fault evidence in a rain forest. We assessed avalanche, natural dam failure, flooding, glacial advance and other hazards along the Alpine Fault.”

“Although the AIT Budapest program is specifically designed for computer science and information science majors, it offers a variety of classes that you can choose from. In fact, aside from the typical software-orientated coding classes such as app development or algorithms, AIT also offers design, business, theory, and cultural courses such as Hungarian music, language, and cinema. What’s unique about the courses at AIT is that the teaching style is very hands-on and application-based.”
