Global Experience
SIUE has partnered with the industrial engineering program at Istanbul Technical University (ITU) in Turkey to form a dual diploma program. Both programs are Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) accredited. Students in the dual diploma program complete their freshman and junior years at ITU, and their sophomore and senior years at SIUE. The first cohort of four dual diploma students arrived at SIUE in the fall of 2008. Since then, that number has steadily grown to 30 students per class each year.
SIUE also welcomes students from Brazil through the Brazilian Science Mobility Program. Students in the Brazilian Science Mobility Program stay at SIUE for up to one year during their junior or senior year to take industrial engineering courses or to gain research experience under the guidance of the industrial engineering faculty.
