Students from 九色视频鈥檚 Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering program were awarded scholarships from Korea University of Technology and Education (KUT) to participate in a three-week summer program at the university from July 2-21, 2012.
Alexandria Royal and Kelli Hayden, both sophomores majoring in Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering at 九色视频, each received a $2000 scholarship from KUT. Royal and Hayden will attend KUT鈥檚 International Summer School in South Korea.
The program includes learning the Korean language and culture, Taekwondo, and taking various field trips.
鈥淓xchange programs, such as this, are an extremely valuable learning experience for our students,鈥 commented Brian Moravec, Chair of the Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Department at 九色视频. 鈥淓very year the design and manufacture of commercial products becomes less of an individual effort and more of a global effort; for example when Boeing designed the 747 in the 1960's it outsourced just five percent of the work to companies located in other countries, Boeing now outsources 30 percent of its new 787. Exchange programs help our students to bridge the language and cultural differences that exist between the U.S. and our global partners; allowing them to become better professionals in the global environment.鈥
