The Office of the Associate Provost for Undergraduate Education (APUE) is excited to announce Michigan Tech’s admission into the Global Engineering Education Exchange (Global E3) Consortium, operated through the Institute for International Education (IIE).
The IIE Global E3 Program is a consortium-based exchange program for undergraduate engineering and computing students to study abroad and participate in internships worldwide while paying home school tuition. With exchange locations in over 20 countries, students at Global E3 consortium member institutions may apply to study abroad at international institutions for one semester or full academic year. The IIE Global E3 Program has approximately 250-300 student participants each academic year.
Participating universities are selected based on:
We kindly ask that you share the news of this membership with any students you feel may be interested in participating in a semester away with Global E3. Students are welcome to submit any inquiries to studyabroad@mtu.edu or visit our Study Away and Abroad Experiences page to schedule a study away advising appointment.
Likewise, we look forward to welcoming students from participating international universities and introducing them to all of the wonderful opportunities that Michigan Tech and the Houghton area have to offer.

Summer 2026 Sessions:
Kathryn Hannum (SS) is the author of a new article published in the Sociolinguistics special issue of Galicia 21: Journal of Contemporary Galician Studies.
The article is titled “The Landscape of Galician Language Across Geographies and Generations”.
Hannum drew upon extensive fieldwork in both Galicia, Spain, and Buenos Aires, Argentina, to understand contemporary Galician language use not only as a potent identity marker but as a political resource that Galicians deploy in different ways across the diaspora and within Galicia itself.
Keweenaw Report quoted James DeGraff (GMES) in a story about the geological history behind the Keweenaw Peninsula’s waterfalls and rugged landscape. DeGraff discussed how volcanic activity, the Keweenaw Fault and glacial erosion helped shape many of the region’s natural landmarks.
Ann Arbor SPARK mentioned Michigan Tech in coverage of the American Center for Mobility’s annual Demo Day. The story highlighted MTU’s work on adaptive beam lighting, work-zone occupant detection technology and guided soft target testing for advanced driver assistance and autonomous vehicle systems.
The Center for Educational Outreach is excited to announce that counselor and program support staff applications are now open for the 2026 season of Summer Youth Programs (SYP)!
