Going Global: Berkeley Engineering Students Share Their Research Abroad
Through exciting research initiatives such as UC Berkeley’s Management of Technology International Research Program, our students apply technology to problems in the developing world and, under faculty guidance, conduct research each summer in Africa, China, India, and South America. Our 2004 team will discuss their research and experiences abroad.
