Alexandre,

UIUC and esp GaTech have recently moved on initiatives for engineers to study abroad as part of their curriculum. GT has a goal that half of their students will study abroad before graduation, believe it or not. I realize this is counter to the way US engineering programs have traditionally operated. One year abroad at UIUC is worth $28,000 or so - worth considering IMO, esp if you major in one of their strong programs. GT seems to take more than 4 years for so many students even w/o study abroad, but OTOH OOS tuition is far less expensive there.
