+ | **Additional Notes from Christiane Michel** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Purdue Undergraduate students are welcome to: | ||
+ | * Attend the Iweek program (run by our students the 2nd week of March). You should get the details and invitation in the Fall | ||
+ | * Attend the Undergraduate Summer School program in the month of June (see attached, the program leaflet and last June program' | ||
+ | * Attend EFREI as an exchange student for one or two semesters (coursework and/or research work; industrial internships are also possible) | ||
+ | |||
+ | All the options above would not include any tuition fees! I also attach our academic calendar for you to have more details about beginning and ends of our semesters; Of course students are welcome to join us as degree seeking student! | ||
+ | |||
+ | EFREI 5th year Graduate students would be interested in: | ||
+ | * Attending classes and/or doing research work at Purdue for one or 2 semesters (They would be expected to pay fees at EFREI and therefore, they would not want to pay extra fees for an exchange program) | ||
+ | * Registering at Purdue for one year and study towards a second Master degree. In that case, they would be expected to pay fees at both insitutions. (They would have to do a one semester long/six months internship following the coursework at Purdue in order to validate their French Engineering Degree. This scheme might interest students who intend to work in the USA. | ||
+ | * Our graduate students might also be interested in doing an intership in the USA through the Purdue industrial network. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I forgot to mention that some of our French Engineering students are also interested in getting dual degree in Management. I don't know if the Business school at Purdue might be interested in that. There again, the students would pay fees. | ||
