Members Testimonials
"The Global Engineering Internship Program (GEIP) is a unique partnership that provides students opportunities that are not available in traditional internships or even in most work abroad programs. Being involved with a consortium of schools around the globe and industries that provide challenging work assignments enables students to go beyond inter-cultural experiences to cross-cultural immersion. The GEIP lives up to its name and makes our work abroad program more than international, and truly global."

“The GEIP brings together some of the world’s leading technical universities and companies with a global outlook. The common goal is to educate the global engineer of the future who can make a real impact in solving global problems. In this way, the GEIP ties in nicely with MIT’s mission to provide leadership in tackling pressing challenges in the world and to provide hands-on international experiences for its students.”

“Internship and field training have long been emphasized by Tsinghua University and integrated as parts of the curriculum system so as to better prepare our graduates for the on-going development of the global economy. GEIP provides an ideal platform for Tsinghua students to obtain international internship experience and cross-cultural communication skills while being guided under a dedicated educational framework. Our university also aims to establish strategic partnerships with multinational companies through the cooperative training of engineers with global vision and competitiveness for the future.”
