<p>How feasible would studying abroad for a semester be with a ME major? Are courses so prescripted that you really can't? Are there established programs at any English-speaking uni's overseas where credits might transfer well?</p>
<p>Yes, studying abroad is possible in engineering. It takes a lot of planning though, so start early. Most programs are in Europe/other english-speaking countries. ME is such a broad engineering major that I'm sure it wouldn't be hard as say ChemE, BioE, or such. Also, check out the Semester at Sea program <a href="http://www.semesteratsea.com/%5B/url%5D">http://www.semesteratsea.com/</a> . It's run through UVA, but offers a summer program that is specialized for engineering majors. It wouldn't be a semester, but you still would earn 12 hours of credit, and you'll see more than one place. If you want to do an academic semester, your school will have a study abroad office or help program, so check into that instead and talk to your advisor.</p>
<p>how much does it cost?</p>
