If you are interested in railroads, it is a good time to work toward engineering degree. Major railroads and consultants are looking to hire annually over 100 engineers and other professionals from all disciplines and they are turning their heads toward Tech Graduates. Summer in Finland program is your opportunity to experience and travel in Finland while learning the basics in Railroad Engineering and Finnish language and culture. And this can be combined with summer internship in the U.S. rail industry. Last summer 23 Tech students took advantage of this opportunity, making the total number of program participants to 62 over four years...... and none of them has been disappointed. As many students have said "This is the best thing you can do at Tech....earn credits and travel with minimum extra cost!".
Are you ready to go to Finland next summer? The applications can already be submitted to International Office. If you have already decided to apply, the application forms are here:
