IDC/Penn
Engineering Israel Exchange Program
The Interdisciplinary Center/Penn exchange is a wonderful
experience to have after your sophomore or junior year. You
will spend approximately 12 weeks learning about Israel and
experiencing the country while interning for an industry-leading
company or at IDC itself. You will live in a suburb of Tel-Aviv,
and housing will be arranged for you with the other students
on the exchange. Airfare and a generous living stipend will
also be provided.
The exchange gives you the opportunity to have a high-tech
internship while experiencing Israel and its culture. You
will work for five days a week, but you will have the weekends
completely open to travel about, see the region, or unwind
in a religious atmosphere.
Past exchange students have traveled to both the northern
and southern regions of Israel, Jerusalem, Cairo, Sinai Desert,
and Jordan. Nighttime activities of the past students consisted
of traveling into Tel-Aviv or nearby Herzalia, and relaxing
on the smooth sand beaches.
Having international work experience on your resume is very
attractive to companies, thus making this exchange extremely
valuable.
Your time is Israel will be a good working experience, educational,
and meaningful. No prior Hebrew language experience necessary.
