IPENG is a part of the College of Engineering that strives to help students gain global awareness through studying abroad.

As a signature program of the college, International Programs in Engineering offers students opportunities to develop intercultural sensitivity, understanding, and skills by studying or working abroad. Significant financial incentives are provided and students can choose from a number of short-term trips as well as summer, semester, or year-long study-abroad programs to enrich their academic exper

With knowledgeable staff and assistants, IPENG continues to serve as a great resource to engineering students as they proceed to make international connections through their study abroad experience and academic career at UIllinois.

SUMMER BREAK = SHORT-TERM FACULTY-LED PROGRAMS ARE IN FULL SWING! ☀️🌻✈️⛱️

With the Spring 2026 semester coming to a close last week, we are proud to share that several short-term faculty-led programs for the summer are either happening now or are coming up! Today, we’re highlighting our students in the ARISE cohort () of ENG 199, currently on their adventure in Cambodia! 📚✨🇰🇭

Hosted by Kaya Responsible Travel (), our students are spending most of their time at the Treak Community Centre & Treak Village in the Siem Reap region. Students are tackling engineering-related projects to improve the lives of locals, including making eco-bricks from plastic waste, designing and laying a section of mosaic at a school playground using reclaimed materials, and building homes alongside local builders under their supervision. Outside of this, students are experiencing the wonderful and immersive Cambodian culture, including trying new foods and seeing historical sites & landmarks. There’s another week ahead for this program - we are so excited to hear and see more! 🧱🛠️🛝🌱🙏
