While this is certainly laudable, in order for an exchange to besuccessful, there are a myriad of details that must be handled correctly. The better prepared thestudent and the institutions are, the better the experience will be.Academic matters, logistics such as visas, and important cross-cultural awareness issues are keycomponents to an engineering student’s preparation for studying overseas.
