Engineering Study Abroad in Troyes

    Troyes Summer2    
Troyes, with its safe and friendly safe atmosphere, is an ideal place to be a student in France. Only an hour and a half from Paris by road or rail, this small city of 120,000 is rich in art and history yet also boasts a vibrant cultural and artistic life, a thriving economy and many sporting activities.

Troyes was the historic center of the Champagne region of France. The Aube region's vineyards produce a quarter of all Champagne wine, and the scenic local route 'La Route du Champagne' takes you through charming villages and beautiful countryside. The old city center is preserved in the medieval architecture, half-timbered houses and Champagne checkerboard façades of alternating dark-red and chalk bricks. Known locally as the 'Champagne Cork' because of its unusual shape, the old city center is a magnificent place to sit and enjoy fine summer weather at one of the many outdoor cafes.

At the other end of the architectural scale, the Université de Technologie de Troyes has one of the most modern facilities anywhere and its main academic building looks like it came from a sci-fi movie set. Troyes has many modern industries and is France's capital for both production and marketing of textile products, notably through its numerous factory shops concentrated on two sites on the outskirts of the city. World-famous brands of clothing such as Lacoste, Petit Bateau, Absorba and DD are produced in Troyes. Even Benetton, the renowned Italian company, has chosen to base part of its production in Troyes.

Troyes Summer1
ACADEMIC PROGRAM
Undergraduate engineering students will earn a total of 6 credits upon successful completion of two courses:

EAS 207: Statics (3 credits)
Taught by UB Faculty Member. Application of mechanics to the study of static equilibrium of rigid and elastic bodies. Topics include composition and resolution of forces; moments and couples; equivalent force systems, free-body diagrams; equilibrium of particles and rigid bodies; forces in trusses and beams; friction forces; first and second moments of area; moments and product of inertia; methods of virtual work and total potential energy.

Although the EAS 207 course is not required for Chemical Engineering students, EAS 207 can be used to fulfill the “200+ Technical Elective”. 

OPR 11SAHWC: Europe and France: Institutions, History & Civilization (3 credits)
Taught by UTT Faculty Member. This course introduces UB students to European institutions, history and civilization with a focus on what makes France unique from historical, political and cultural perspectives. Click here for the Summer 2019 Syllabus and note that this course has been approved to meet the Civilization and History or Humanities UB Areas in the Global Pathway of the UB Curriculum.
