An
alumnus of the College of Engineering, Armin Elmendorf,
established a fund to encourage engineering students
to seek an understanding of the responsibilities of
world citizenship. The original funds were used to make
one award each year to a student studying a multinational
technical problem and to also involve some interaction
with world organizations--most notably the United Nations.
Today
International Engineering Fellowships are awarded to
qualified engineering students involved in a College
of Engineering approved work experience or an academic/study
experience abroad.
