Engineers Abroad

Semester study abroad programming is not available for aerospace engineering students on a four-year graduation plan. However, you can now declare the five-year Global + Co-op track, which allows you to earn a BS in aerospace engineering sciences with a minor in computer science. You will benefit from robust training in CS, significant experience abroad, and in-depth career exposure before you graduate! Plus, you won't pay tuition during your Co-op semester and can expect to be paid for your work. 

Study abroad options for this program are the same as those for computer science majors (click on their tab below), and you'll focus on coursework toward your CS minor and outstanding H&SS coursework. 

• During your first three years, you will follow the same aerospace undergraduate curriculum as your peers while also completing prerequisite and foundation courses for the CS minor.
• Early in the spring semester of your third year, you will declare the Global + Co-op track and apply to study abroad the following fall semester. You must have a 3.0 GPA to declare this track to ensure the competitiveness of your co-op application!
• During the fall semester of your fourth year, you will participate in a computer science-focused semester study abroad program. 
• In the spring semester of your fourth year, you will return to the U.S. to participate in a full-time, industry-based co-op. CU cannot guarantee you a co-op placement but will provide resources to guide your application. 
• You will return to CU for full-time study in your fifth year to complete any outstanding requirements for your aerospace engineering degree and computer science minor.

Engineering Plus majors can study abroad all over the world! Since each e+ major follows a different curricular path, e+ students should explore program options based on their e+ emphasis. For example, an e+ major with an emphasis in mechanical engineering should focus on the programs listed for mechanical engineering majors. Using the pre-approved course database, e+ students can find e+ core courses (GEEN) taught abroad as well as courses associated with their emphasis (e.g. ECEN, EVEN, MCEN, etc.). Finally, a number of e+ concentrations also offer coursework abroad, maximizing study abroad opportunities for e+ students.

When should I go? 

Depending on your particular degree plan, either semester of your sophomore or junior year should be feasible for a study abroad semester.
