Study Abroad
The Study Abroad Program will return! Check this web page for future announcement of the program dates and courses.
For summer 2019 the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering (CCEE) expanded the UNM-GEO (Global Education Office) study abroad program to include not only students from CCEE but also the UNM School of Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Architecture, Water Resources, and the Honors College. Travel included Germany and Holland for a study abroad program on the topic of Resilience of European Infrastructure.
The program included two courses. The first course titled, Resiliency and Reconstruction of Transportation Systems, was offered in Berlin and Munich, Germany. The students were exposed to the history of infrastructure construction techniques in Europe with an emphasis on the resiliency of transportation systems associated with the country’s reunification, population growth, and urban development. The second course, led by Dr. Mark Stone, was titled, Life Below Sea Level: How the Dutch Have Learned to Live with Water. The course explored the Dutch relationship with water resources engineering and flood control including innovations through canals and windmills, sea walls and storm barriers, and flood resilience through coastal and river restoration.
The study abroad program will be offered each summer with a similar program in Germany and Holland in the future. For further information, please contact Dr. Stone at stone@unm.edu.
Here is a description of the 2019 program.
