IES Abroad in Cape Town: Engineering & Science

Description

The IES Abroad in Cape Town: Engineering & Science program is designed for STEM students (with particular focus on Mechanical, Chemical, and Electrical Engineering). While completing your engineering coursework, you will also experience all that Cape Town has to offer by exploring the city and its surrounds, and diving into the rich South African culture and history. In this program, you’ll register for two to four courses at South Africa's leading research university, the University of Cape Town (UCT). In addition to your engineering-related courses, you will participate in a hands-on IES Abroad course entitled Designing the Sustainable City, a unique project-based course that examines and proposes solutions for issues affecting the local community.
