Study abroad

Hardly any French scientists studied abroad. Kirrmann was unusual in his decision to spend a year in Munich in 1930, but he had, after all, been born in German Alsace. John C. Smith notes in his history of Oxford s Dyson Perrins Laboratory, directed by Robert Robinson in the 1920s and 1930s, that there was a great mixture there of ages and nationalities among the twenty or so research students each year but never, until 1947, a French person. 91 This insularity contributed to the closure of the boundaries of the research school associated with Lespieau s laboratory at the Ecole Normale Superieure and to its exclusion from the wider disciplinary history of physical organic chemistry and theoretical chemistry. 

Soon after this Seminary was founded in 1777, two brilliant and promising youths of Basque and French lineage, Don Juan Jose de Elhuyar y de Zubice (1754-1796) and his younger brother, Don Fausto, were commissioned to study abroad. Don Juan Jose was sent by the King...

Hibbert now decided to study abroad for his doctorate, and he arrived at the University of Leipzig in October, 1904, to work under Professor Arthur Hantzsch on addition products of trialkyl derivatives of arsines, phosphines, and stibines. Hibbert published an article on the preparation of the trialkyl derivatives (by means of the Grignard reaction) in Berichte for 1906, and, in the following year, he and Hantzsch described the addition products in the same Journal. In 1906, Hibbert was awarded the Ph. D. degree mmma cum laude by the University of Leipzig. During his two years...

After thinking about the situation, I realized that studying abroad was not impossible—I just had to plan ahead. I had planned on taking two electives per semester, but I decided to replace one with a required course and add an additional required course to my schedule. Taking six courses a semester was tough, but I made a strict study schedule for myself and stuck to it. 

According to studies abroad and at home, with mechanical stress the permeability decreases rapidly. But when stress is stronger, the decrease can be very limited and remains basically stable (Sheng 2007). The relationship between the permeability and stress is available to be presented by the following formula in the stress range from 0-4 MPa to 15-40 MPa ... 

Students who come back from studying abroad have a different host of difficulties than graduates from Tunisian schools as they attempt to reintegrate themselves into the Tunisian workforce. International companies, however, are more willing to hire these individuals. Often, the students training has been more focused on practical experience— for example, if they studied in Germany—or at a more prestigious university in France. If the opportunity exists, students who studied in Tunisia are seen as likely to travel abroad for employment. 

The early forms of study abroad grew out of relationships between particular institutions, where exchange students had experiences limited primarily to those of students at the institutions they were visiting. Often these grew into direct enrollment programs, where the focus was less on a balanced exchange of students between institutions and cultures than on the opportunity for US colleges and universities to place students at institutions abroad. 

Study abroad programs have evolved into many different variations. Vaz (2008) notes an extensive study by Alan Parkinson (2007) providing a taxonomy of engineering study abroad programs, and comments extensively on the scalability of various models. Of particular interest in that discussion, as it is here, are the less traditional, project-based programs which provide a different approach to holistic education for engineering students.
