National University of Singapore (NUS)

In the summer of 2008, EngSci started a new initiative of sending students to NUS for summer research opportunities. This experience is offered to students in Years 1, 2 and 3. In 2009, four students were involved and in 2012 this number grew to twelve. The program is strongly supported by the University of Toronto's International Student Exchange Office.

Engineers Without Borders (EWB) Junior Fellowship Program

The Junior Fellowship Program includes a four month volunteer placement overseas. This program is open to EWB chapter members who will be returning to their chapter for at least one year following their summer abroad. While the four month placement overseas is the highlight for many, the program also includes the completion of learning modules prior to going overseas, a week-long pre-departure training, and a commitment to sharing their experiences and lessons learned with their community and chapter upon their return.

In 2010, the University of Toronto was recognized as EWB's Chapter of the Year. To learn more about U of T's EWB Chapter, click here.
