The publication, which features six to eight institutions each year, highlighted Georgia Tech in a section titled, \u0022Tech\u0027s Well-Engineered Engagement with the World.* Each year, Tech garners plenty of international exposure. Study and work abroad programs, the International Plan, foreign satellite campuses such as GT-Lorraine France, and undergraduate and graduate international affairs (INTA) degrees all contribute to Tech\u0027s reputation as a global institution. \u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ENAFSA specifically commended the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering for its Supply Chain \u0026amp; Logistics Institute (SCL). An alliance with the National University of Singapore (NUS) allowed SCL to create the Logistics Institute-Asia Pacific program which offers master\u0027s degrees, conducts research, and hosts conferences. \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe report also recognized ISyE\u0027s Dr. Chen Zhou, Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies and Associate Professor, for his summer study abroad program which takes undergraduates to Singapore and Beijing. Along with students from NUS and Tsinghua University in Beijing, Georgia Tech students study manufacturing, logistics, and modern Asian history. \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAt the time of the report, 80 percent of Tech undergraduates were in the fields of engineering and science. \u0022Given the kind of university Georgia Tech is, it\u0027s remarkable that we have 34 percent of our students studying abroad,* Howard A. Rollins, Jr., a psychology professor and former associate vice provost of International Programs, told NAFSA. Study abroad opportunities are available to all majors and according to the report, nearly 1,000 Tech students participate in study abroad each year. \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAn international perspective is imperative to the modern engineer\u0027s success, according to former Institute president Wayne Clough. \u0022Even if they stay in this country *which is unlikely*during their careers, they are going to be impacted by this global economy,* Clough told NAFSA. \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003ENAFSA: Association of International Educators is a member organization that advocates international education and serves the field by awarding grants and providing professional development opportunities.
