What We Do

Like government diplomats, members of the Engineering Diplomats (ED) will represent the interests and policies of the WCOE regarding international affairs and connections. The organization will function in a similar way to the Engineering Ambassadors. ED will assist the WCOE in recruiting students for study abroad programs, attracting foreign students to Texas Tech, providing a community for international students and building strong international connections.

ED will be involved in recruiting events, e.g. Engineering Kick Off and Study Abroad Fair. ED, among other services to the WCOE and its students, will provide study abroad seminars. Wherever the words engineering and international meet, ED will be there.

Who We Are Looking For

We are looking for engineering students who have relevant international experience, e.g. study abroad, and who are willing to help, orient and recruit other WCOE students who are required to go overseas. To become an ED, you must be passionate about sharing with your peers the benefits and experiences you gained while studying abroad and how the experiences positively impacted your life and career. ED are expected to be presentable and loyal to the WCOE and TTU at all times.

If you: always said that studying abroad was one of the best experiences in your life; have leadership and communication skills; have contacts overseas; then, you must be wanting to become an Engineering Diplomat.
