International design groups have become essential in engineering design. In this program, students will travel to Singapore to study engineering design methods and processes with students from the National University of Singapore (ranked among the top universities in the world for technology) and Pennsylvania State University. BYU students will work on international design teams to solve a real engineering design project. Students and faculty will visit global design firms in Singapore. If you’re interested in travel, design, and global engineering, explore this exciting opportunity!
