CIEE HS Summer Abroad: Engineering in Europe

0 (0)

Explore how engineering and innovation can help solve today’s biggest environmental challenges. In Berlin, a hub for creative reinvention, and Copenhagen, a “living lab” for clean energy and urban sustainability, you’ll see how forward-thinking cities are building greener futures. Alongside fellow Global Navigators, you’ll work in teams to design and pitch a tool that supports a real sustainability initiative. Through hands-on projects, site visits, and expert workshops, you’ll dive into the design-build process and apply core engineering principles to create and test your own prototype. From Berlin’s creatively repurposed spaces to Denmark’s waste-to-energy systems, you’ll see how smart engineering shapes the world and get inspired to design your own solutions. There’s plenty of time to...

Program Highlights

Walk through Berlin’s complex past on a city tour of the Brandenburg Gate, the Berlin Wall, Checkpoint Charlie, and the Jewish Memorial.

Paddle through the leafy canals of Kreuzberg, Berlin’s trendiest neighborhood, gliding past bold murals, historic bridges, and hidden cafés.

Tour a cutting-edge waste-to-energy plant in Copenhagen to see how the city turns trash into clean electricity. There’s even a ski slope on the roof!

Spend an afternoon riding rollercoasters, bumper cars, and spinning swings at Tivoli Gardens—Copenhagen’s vintage amusement park that feels like stepping into a storybook.

Visit the Middelgrunden Offshore Wind Farm, explore the Green Lighthouse at DTU, and so much more!
