Characteristics of the programme

The United States has one of the most advanced education systems in the world, with great cultural and social diversity to open up to the world and to face a successful international working future.

All UIC students receive personalised attention to help them achieve their goals, whether their interests are theoretical or practical, and whether their future lies in industry, academia or public administration.

UIC is an ethnically and culturally diverse university located in downtown Chicago, one of the most vibrant cities in the United States. If the goal of engineering is to develop creative and innovative applied solutions to improve the way we live, learning in a city like Chicago is to elevate thinking and planning to a higher level.

The programme has the added advantage of allowing admission to a UIC Master of Engineering.

Structure

This programme is designed for undergraduate engineering students. Participants in this programme will complete their final year of undergraduate studies at UIC, participating in a 9-month (two semester) programme, taking subjects in fields of study corresponding to the curriculum of the degree studied at USPCEU.

At the end of the programme, students are issued with an official UIC academic transcript and a certificate of participation and the subjects of CEU degree that appear in their learning agreement are recognised.

Methodology

Students on the programme benefit from two different and complementary educational methods that, combined, provide them with a global vision and a capacity for adaptation that will be highly valued when it comes to entering the job market. The American teaching methodology stands out for the high level of student participation in the classroom and the eminently practical dimension that the eminently practical dimension provided by teachers during classes, in a multicultural environment, with students coming from very different educational systems.

UIC also stands out for its contribution in the field of research, which provides students with a vision applied to their studies, which will broaden their employment horizons, whether in engineering or research, in both the public and private sectors.
