Announcements : Engineering Study Abroad Alumni Perspectives

Join the Global Education Office for a student panel discussing summer abroad opportunities for engineering students. Hear student perspectives on finding programs, securing funding, navigating time abroad, and leveraging these unique experiences to further your career goals.
Dennis Ngo - BME/premed student
This past summer, I studied abroad in Lisbon, Portugal, where I explored Portuguese culture, food, and language. Previously, during my sophomore summer, I was an engineering research intern at the Mechanobiology Institute at the National University of Singapore, studying extracellular matrix remodeling in cardiac fibroblasts

Cassandra Nguyen - BME/premed student
Over the summer, I participated in the Hopkins Madrid Engineering Research program working on a clinical research project aimed at improving the early diagnosis of chronic diseases by developing dynamic diagnostic thresholds. During fall of 2025, I spent a semester in Melbourne, Australia taking BME upper-level electives and engaging with the community.

Lucas Hertzel - BME/Materials Science
I studied abroad this past summer in Berlin, Germany through the CIEE global internship program. As well as exploring German culture and developing my langauge skills, I worked on developing new fluorescent protein variants and engineering a bacterial screening platform. I now also work for the Global Education Office helping other students on their study abroad journeys!
