Grant Supports Expansion of Education Abroad Opportunities in School of Engineering
KU Engineering students will experience a new education abroad program through a $15,000 start-up grant from IES Abroad.
Kyle Camarda, associate professor of chemical & petroleum engineering, submitted the proposal, "Logistics in Berlin: Optimization and the Cold War," which was selected among a national pool. IES Abroad picked the proposal for its innovative approach to fostering learning in a STEM discipline while actively engaging students in the intellectual, political, cultural and social institutions of the hosting city, country and region. This is the first time IES Abroad has awarded a new program development grant to a KU faculty member.
