Program Alumni Spotlight

Hear from Trojans who went abroad and came back changed.

Participating in this program has made me become very aware of the great business potential there is in Asia. It has made me consider finding an internship or full time job in Hong Kong or another Asian country as well as do business with Asian partners some day. I have also learned about the many social and environmental issues and challenges facing that part of the world, as well as some of the steps and solutions, which I may one day be able to adapt or replicate in other parts of the world such as my country.

-Viterbi International Exchange HKUST

It helped me broaden my understanding of the professional and communication aspects of engineering. It helped me to approach engineering problems with a more open mind.

-Viterbi Globalxp program

Exploring Tokyo firsthand and seeing the sociotechnical systems we studied in action broadened my perspective on globally centered design.

-Viterbi Globalxp program

This experience was eye-opening and inspired me to look at the world and its problems from a different perspective.
